Land Rover Defender Works V8 - review: aex.ae/2IufOGL
The Land Rover Defender is back. But before you get excited and start waving your Union flag with patriotic fervour, it isn’t as simple as that. To celebrate the firm’s 70th birthday, Land Rover has launched a run of limited edition Defender models. However, unlike a Jaguar D-Type or E-Type Lightweight, the 2018 Works V8 70th Edition isn’t a brand-new continuation model, instead it’s a heavily re-engineered ‘old’ Defender…

"The noise!!" *proceeds to play ridiculous music to mask the actual noise from the car*
It still makes me cry inside when I´m remindet that they stopped making the Defender. Now Land Rover is just another soccer mom SUV brand.

Keine Namen the 575bhp Supercharged V8 RR Sport SVR is a “soccer mom SUV”? I don’t think so buddy. Sure they make some cars that appeal to buyers doing the school run but that is what allows them to achieve the money to create monsters like the SVR and this defender. Car manufacturers cater for the mass market not the very small segment of car enthusiasts that don’t even have the money to put down a deposit.

Let’s admit it, this is probably the coolest car somebody who loves cars Can buy, at least us who loves defenders... and that Classic look of the old defender is just gorgeous that’s a face, it’s probably top 3 or 5 best looking cars ever made

The V8 defender is more like running up to the cow and taking a bite out of it
Imagine The Queen agressively overtaking you in this thing! With her outdoor head scarf and all!
Let me present it next time! 😃 I love the classic look and it's great to see 'another edition' added to the 'now ceased production Defender series! 👍
I love the defender's boxy shape and even more fitted with v8 powerplant. It stands out different when driving it. I am planning to get one
Saya rasa penyampai klip video ni ok aje...infomatif dan menarik...cheers from kuala lumpur😎
Finally a proper and exciting 4X4. What an amazing rig!
Awesome machine even though limited run. Drove a original civilian LR V8 110 In Early 1980S. British Army had it on trail at Hereford, but the regiment preferred the Gucci Range Rovers. So we had it for a couple of weeks, a battleship grey V8 with black vinyl seats.. It was really unstable and a beast! No idea what happened to it. But could be hidden in some storage depot somewhere, rusting away.
So cool. I like the 4 door one with snorkel.
A review without interior? Incomplete!!
Screw electric crossovers. This is where it's at!
How is this guy a presenter? This vehicle is not truly respected when they got this guy to present it!!! Het Jeremy Clarkson on it!!!!!

This is the defender we needed, not the new discovery 4 in disguise with a range rover chassis. Just needed to improve the sound insulation and the integrity of the bodywork and many other bits to make it safer and refined. Like the Gwagen.
Forget the jibes at the presenter, it's that NA V8 which I have in my Dicovery 4 before they chucked in that V6 supercharged. Naturally aspirated V8 in a Landrover was the best decision.
i'd love one of these. wanted one ever since sitting in the back of an army one when my dad was in the army. alas i'll never be able to afford one. i suppose i could try crowd gift thing lol
when you've bought a landrover defender the ONLY REAL TOOL is YOU.
They should bring it back as a hybrid. There are people who would love to have this sort of vehicle again as it's a halfway house between an estate family car and a van for work like landscape gardening.
the old defender looks more classy than the 2023
OTT with a supercharger when Twisted Automotive get more bhp out of their LS3 Corvette V8s?! Come on man!!!
Was looking forward to watching, then realised Lord Snooty was narrating and lost interest. Aunt Lavinia’s Croquet hoops look awfully pretty tho.
The car: WANT. The presenter: PASS.

70 year old design? Honestly what a pile of crap... You're referring to the series 1 which couldn't be more different. That's like comparing a smart car to an F40. If you're going to make statements in videos at least keep them factual..

yup, the Defender was introduced in 1983. It wasn't a new design though, rather a much improved version of the Series III from 1971.

yes, correct, the name change was brought in to distinguish it from the new Discovery.
I have heard the begining into bgm somewhere else... 😆😁🔥🔥🔥only legends will get it
I've always wanted on of these
It might be noisy but the engine sound so nice...well 4 me that is
I could only manage 1 minute of this guy.
outstanding looks
Listening to him talk really makes me want a cup of spiffing tea
I was watching this while im holding a *LAND ROVER TOY* :D
Old Defender was marvel
A classical gem. I don't know what that means. I'd love to own one.
Dam you Rover bring this to US! Can’t you see how well G wagon is doing. Used 1990s Defender in US is 50k and up this is crazy
Would have liked if they're was an inside tour of it, ...(obviously the one ten station wagon or in other words the vehicle.)
Cuando iran volver a ser fabricados tan hermosisimos carros, son tan unicos y increible
Do a video about the engine model. And the car that was using it for
I think someone with more appreciation for Land Rovers ideas with this one would have made more sense.
The best,,4x4 ever made, just it just for man we love it
Thank you for the special offer, if possible, how much this monster is worth.
I love it...I want it supercharged too...lol
All of the braking and suspension upgrades and they stick off road tyres. I wish they had stuck Tokyo S/T tyres on 18-inch rims with a return to centre steering damper if it is not included. I do not have the V8 but that is what my fast-road D90 has underneath.
Would love to own one of that type...
I really like the video and the presenter, especially because he seems a bit extravagant.
I have 1996 Land Rover Defender 110 tdi, I want upgrade it . Where do I find parts and accessories?
Not the best Defender ever but the best offroad too. Even it's style inspired the Mercedes, Tata & Iveco ,all of them copied & learnt with the Defender
I can’t do it. That voice. I just can’t...

When will this car be available?
More beautiful than 2020 one
Do they still build 6x6 8v utility once.
Haven't they pulled those rims from a Freelander Metropolis?
For some reason I didn’t feel comfortable when he said “ if you have big enough balls “🤔
Do a video about the engine we want to see
whata an experience channel where is the interior?
A love the defenders awesome shape strong cars prob one the best 4 wheel drive
To many memories on it.
How does he know how Lord Sugar sounds like when he gets up in the morning with a hangover? And he reffered to it as a "fantastic sound" Mmmm. Superb car anyway!
I love this presenter, I think he is hilarious.
You either love this land rover, or you love other vehicles. Simple as that! Comparing this iconic land rover to the new Defender is like..I don't know, comparing something to something else just because they carry the same name..
I want one!
A brand new 2019 G63 Edition 1 would definitely be my choice over this. Or even a brand new RR Sport SVR for less money.

I love this car........ It make me a hero from old land .... If I can have it in egypt ...... I be number one
I had hoped to get some quality review of this amazing 4WD. All he talks about is the noise... and the style. Not one word about what this car is designed for: adventure and off roading. I can't imagine a worse review. Clearly this man has zero knowledge about this car.
Please remove Smigol from the videos.....
Owned several, huge character and goodwill but awful to drive..dreadful. However it was always such a shame that LR never produced an auto Defender or addressed the zero elbow room issue!
How much is cost ?

It’s a second hand car not the first company to put a powerful v8 in a defender 6.2v8 corvette engine with 8speed gearbox conversation for £28k plus price of a defender and still £100k change from £150-160k
Why is there a swiss Autobahn etiquette on the window?
Wish they still made this, the new suvs look crap. This is robust

Thought they stopped producing the Defender
Kemarin pulang kerja liat di bekasi
the defender is like the English g class and they messed it up with the 2020 version
Who else is reminded of the Bowler Nemesis EXR?
