Land Rover has crafted a new unique version edition of the Defender, which pays tribute to the company’s iconic Camel Trophy expedition motor vehicles.

It is known as the Defender Trophy Version, and it attributes a host of styling tweaks influenced by the classic off-highway challenge autos that competed involving 1980 and 2000.

The autos are finished with a yellow foundation coat, as for every authentic Camel Trophy autos. Having said that, the authentic competitors autos highlighted a Camel brand on all of the racer’s doorways.

Land Rover couldn’t use the cigarette company’s branding for legal causes, so to get all around the concern, the British brand has designed a cunning new brand for this unique-version Defender, which (if you squint) appears to be a bit like the Camel brand discovered on the later racers.

Other off-highway incorporate-ons contain an expedition roof rack, a entrance bash plate, mud flaps, rubber floor mats, an built-in air compressor and a deployable ladder that allows entry to the car’s roof. Prospective buyers can also specify a winch as an optional additional.

The Defender Trophy Version is primarily based on Land Rover’s X-Dynamic SE specification and is run by the brand’s P400 turbocharged three.-litre straight-6 mild-hybrid petrol motor, which creates 395bhp and 550Nm of torque.

Ability goes to all 4 wheels by using an eight-pace automatic gearbox Land Rover promises a -62mph time of six.1 seconds and a top rated pace of 129mph.
