The V8 comes mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission that sends the power to all four wheels. Triple digit speeds appear in mere 4.0 seconds, and top speed is limited to 250kmph.

Land Rover Defender Octa suspension

A standout feature of the Defender Octa is its advanced 6D Dynamics suspension system, which eliminates the need for a traditional anti-roll bar by hydraulically linking the dampers. According to Land Rover, this setup ‘virtually eliminates’ pitch and body roll on-road while also enhancing wheel articulation for improved performance on rough terrain.

The Octa is further reinforced with longer, more durable wishbones, enhanced underbody protection, a 28mm increase in ground clearance, and a 100mm boost in wading depth. It also features a bespoke drive mode with an off-road launch setting and the fastest steering rack ever fitted to a Defender.
