In a bold move to enhance its iconic Defender lineup, Land Rover has introduced the highly anticipated Defender OCTA. Positioned as the apex of rugged luxury, the OCTA promises to redefine the boundaries of capability, performance, and refinement within the Defender family. At the heart of the Defender OCTA lies a formidable twin-turbocharged V-8 engine, poised to deliver exhilarating power and unmatched driving dynamics.
While specific power outputs are yet to be disclosed, enthusiasts anticipate a potent engine derived from the acclaimed Range Rover Sport SV, potentially harnessing an impressive 626 horsepower. Setting new standards in off-road prowess, the OCTA inherits Land Rover’s groundbreaking “6D Dynamics” suspension system from the SV range.
This innovative setup integrates air springs with hydraulically cross-linked dampers, ensuring impeccable stability during spirited driving maneuvers while enhancing the vehicle’s agility and articulation across diverse terrains.
Visually distinct, the Defender OCTA is adorned with bespoke design elements, including a striking diamond-shaped badge, signaling its exclusive status within the Defender lineup.
Land Rover’s commitment to excellence is evident in the rigorous testing regimen undertaken during the OCTA’s development, spanning from the snow-clad expanses of Sweden to the arid deserts of Dubai, and even the demanding tracks of the Nürburgring and Moab.
While comprehensive details regarding pricing and specifications will be revealed closer to the official launch, Land Rover encourages enthusiasts to engage with their dealers early. Through the global Defender Elements series, prospective buyers can anticipate exclusive previews and immersive experiences, providing unparalleled insights into the extraordinary capabilities of the Defender OCTA.
