Land Rover announces Musto and LEGO partnerships

From 1 October 2019, Land Rover Defender fans will be able to build their own car at home, in LEGO, that is.

The new LEGO Technic Land Rover Defender, developed in partnership with Land Rover and launched alongside the new Defender at the Frankfurt Motor Show, is a 2,573-piece model that combines the boundless creativity of LEGO with New Defender's instantly recognisable silhouette and unrivalled capability.

The LEGO Technic vehicle echoes the new Defender with a host of realistic elements and functions, including authentic body panels and rims, four-wheel drive with three differentials, fully independent suspension, a working winch and LEGO Technic's most sophisticated gearbox yet.

Also inspired by the durability and capability of the Defender, the Above and Beyond collection of men's and women's performance clothing and technical equipment by Musto incorporates 50 years of heritage in world-leading performance clothing.

Innovations in the collection include a Welded Thermo jacket with RECCO integrated reflective antenna to help rescue teams locate you in difficult terrain. The jacket also features PrimaLoft Aerogel-lined pockets that help keep mobile phones charged for longer.

The Rodinia Hybrid jacket has YKK Quickburst zip technology to transform it into a gilet in seconds. It also features PrimaLoft Black Eco insulation - a lightweight alternative to down layers that doesn't compromise warmth, comfort or flexibility.

The collection also includes tough flasks and bottles, a pen engineered to go to extremes and a unique activity belt with an ANSI COBRA buckle and ultra-robust webbing with a 6,000kg tensile strength.  

Land Rover's Above and Beyond collection will be available online and in retailers from 11 September 2019.
