New flagship Defender will serve as a rival to trucks like the Mercedes-AMG G63 and Ford Bronco Raptor
New flagship Defender OCTA model to rock a BMW-sourced twin-turbo V8.Land Rover promises incredible levels of all-terrain capability.The new model will be launched this year. A day after a new flagship version of the beloved Land Rover Defender was announced, our spy photographers snapped the new Defender OCTA undergoing high-speed tests at the Nurburgring.
It’s too early to say if these wheels will reach production but we’re crossing our fingers. The rear of the Defender OCTA looks especially beefy thanks to the widened arches and twin tailpipes. While the exterior of this new model will be special, the biggest changes will be made under the skin. These start with a new engine. The last time the Defender got a V8, it was JLR's old supercharged 5.0-liter mill but the OCTA will run a BMW-sourced twin-turbo V8 with mild-hybrid tech.
