⛽2022 Land Rover Defender

The Land Rover Defender range has swollen again - this time with V8 supercharged fireworks arriving with a whizz and a bang to introduce a rabid 518bhp 4x4 hooligan.

Available in both 90 three-door and 110 five-door bodyshells, the new 2021 Defender V8 is capable of 0-60mph in just 4.9 seconds and tops out at 149mph. 

It follows a long tradition of slotting V8 power into Land Rover's mud-plugging hero and while it may hold limited appeal in the CO2-obsessed UK, such brawny 4x4s can prove popular in markets such as the Middle East and US.
