land rover celebrates new james bond movie with defender v8 bond edition

AN EXCLUSIVE TAKE ON THE MOST POWERFUL PRODUCTION DEFENDER EVER MADE

land rover SV bespoke is celebrating the 25th james bond film, no time to die, ahead of its world premiere later this month with the launch of the new land rover defender V8 bond edition. inspired by the specification of the defenders that appear in the movie, the vehicle is available to order as a defender 90 or 110 and features an extended black pack with 22-inch gloss black alloy wheels, signature xenon blue front brake calipers and a ‘defender 007’ rear badge.

‘the land rover defender V8 bond edition is an exclusive take on the most powerful production defender ever made, inspired by vehicles on screen in no time to die,’ said finbar mccall, land rover brand director. ‘it represents a meeting of two great british brands and is a unique celebration of land rover’s 38-year association with james bond.’

AVAILABLE TO JUST 300 BUYERS AROUND THE WORLD

available to just 300 buyers around the world, the land rover defender V8 bond edition showcases bespoke touches that go all the way into the interior, where illuminated ‘defender 007’ treadplates and a start-up animation for the infotainment system honor the automotive company’s long partnership with the james bond franchise. at night, and as seen on the pictures, a 007 puddle lamp will adorn the side of the vehicle.

based on the recently launched defender V8, the bond edition is powered by a 5.0-liter 525PS supercharged petrol engine, which produces 525PS, 625Nm of torque and drives through an eight-speed automatic transmission. the defender V8 90 accelerates from 0-60mph in just 4.9 seconds, with a top speed of 149mph.

it delivers new levels of performance and driver engagement by combining the V8 with expertly developed suspension and transmission tuning to create the fastest and most dynamically rewarding defender yet.
