The Ineos Grenadier, conceived and produced by Ineos Automotive, serves as a contemporary spiritual successor to the legendary Land Rover Defender. Resembling a modern interpretation of its predecessor, the Grenadier features robust construction, including a steel ladder chassis, beam axles with long-travel suspension, and a BMW engine reminiscent of certain Land Rover models.
Unlike the traditional V8 engines, the Grenadier is powered by Bavaria’s renowned BMW B58 inline-six turbocharged engine, reflecting Ineos Automotive’s commitment to innovation. Spearheaded by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, chairman of Ineos, the Grenadier has evolved to include variants such as the Grenadier Quartermaster, a pickup version, and the Ineos Fusilier, a compact model with electric power.
Venturing into the limited-edition models, Ineos introduces the Grenadier 1924 series, paying homage to the centenary of the iconic clothing brand Belstaff. Limited to just 1,924 units, each Grenadier 1924 features a distinctive color scheme of Magic Mushroom and Inky Black, complemented by gloss black diamond-cut alloy wheels and exclusive leather trim adorned with Belstaff centenary badges.
The collaboration between Ineos and Belstaff celebrates enduring style and craftsmanship, reflecting the shared heritage of both brands under the Ineos conglomerate. With its blend of timeless design and rugged performance, the Grenadier 1924 epitomizes the spirit of adventure and authenticity, embodying the ethos of Belstaff’s century-long legacy.
Scheduled for global distribution starting June 26, 2024, the Grenadier 1924 promises a unique driving experience, combining heritage-inspired design elements with modern engineering excellence. Its first public revealing in Stoke-on-Trent, Belstaff’s hometown, marks a significant milestone in the collaboration between these two iconic brands.
