Land Rover unveils Defender V8 Bond Edition for all you baddies out there

Land Rover SV Bespoke has created a new Land Rover Defender V8 Bond Edition to celebrate the 25^th James Bond film, No Time To Die, ahead of its world premiere.

Available to order as a Defender 90 or Defender 110, the limited edition car is inspired by the specification of the Defenders that appear in No Time To Die. The stealthy Defender V8 Bond Edition thus features an Extended Black Pack with 22-inch Gloss Black alloy wheels, as well as signature Xenon Blue front brake calipers and a 'Defender 007' badge at the rear.

The bespoke touches also extend to the practical interior, with illuminated 'Defender 007' treadplates and a specially developed start-up animation for the intuitive Pivi Pro infotainment system touchscreen that honours Land Rover's long partnership with the James Bond franchise. At night, customers will also spot unique '007' puddle lamp graphics.

Exclusively available to just 300 buyers around the world, the Defender V8 Bond Edition's interior features laser etching detailing that it is 'one of 300', as well as the the SV Bespoke logo.

Based on the recently launched Defender V8, the Bond Edition is powered by a 518bhp 5.0-litre supercharged petrol engine that generates 625Nm of torque, and is paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Defender V8 90 accelerates from zero to 96km/h in just 4.9 seconds and will reach a top speed of 240km/h.

The new Land Rover Defender will star at the heart of the action in No Time To Die, alongside two Range Rover Sport SVRs. A Range Rover Classic and Land Rover Series III are also in the film, which will be released in cinemas around the world from 30 September 2021.
