version of extreme surprise in full trials

The defender is a legend. And that’s why we love to see new specials. To be precise, Land Rover Defender he will get a version with a sports character.

His name ? Is it really SVR, SV, SVX? Actually, the name has not been announced yet. But in any case, such a model that is still hidden was seen in tests in Aylesbury, England.

Obviously, its bodywork was covered with camouflage aimed at preserving the visual identity of this new version. But that didn’t stop pictures of the super SUV from appearing on social media.

Land Rover Defender for sportsmen?

Despite the looks, it’s clear that the British racer has received a number of changes that will be unique to the high-performance ‘SVR’ variant. The front and rear wheel arches are more prominent than those of the base models.
There is also a quad exhaust system which suggests that the sound has been modified. As this is a test mule, we can expect additional styling cues to be added to the production model.
Expect in particular a hood with more visible air intakes, sportier-looking fenders and exclusive rims for this sporty version of the SVR.
According to the person who took the pictures, @hjwakerly on X, of the Defender in question let the V8 sound emanate from its exhaust pipes. The Defender has been available with a V8 engine for some timebut the SVR variant should receive a new genuine BMW V8 instead of the 5.0 lite Supercharged V8.

The heart of BMW, the soul of Land-Rover

So we think that it will be the 4.4-liter V8 that is equipped with the latest Range Rover equipment. It’s also under the hood of the Range Rover Sport SV. The original BMW engine it develops 635 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque.
This extra power and torque comes from the turbocharger and limited hybrid assistance. It’s enough to turn the Defender into a real rival to the Mercedes-AMG G63. Note that this German racer develops 585 horsepower in its sportier version.
The “G-Wagon” has long been a reference among wealthy 4×4 aficionados. If JLR can engage in this area, it can improve the brand base.
It will be interesting to see whether the Defender SVR will be presented as a luxury SUV dedicated to off-road performance or as a true extreme tourer. The G-Class has already made its choice as few owners dare to take it to such extreme terrain… Except Whistlin Diesel who decided to put it to the test until the damage was done.

The powerful Land Rover Defender has already been seen elsewhere?

Based on intelligence images was captured at the Nürburgring, it is obvious that the Defender will also be effective on the pitch. But that doesn’t mean it will diminish its true off-road capabilities.
As an example of the Land Rover brand, it should be able to keep up with even the toughest off-roaders. It is and must remain a memory on the field. Whether the owners tried them is another story, but the Guardian must be able to go… everywhere!
Besides, Rumors on the Web have already revealed that the patent had been filed by Land Rover. This seemed to sacrifice increased off-road performance, just to create a more aggressive variant.
This patent also mentioned the possibility of the appearance of a unique roll bar that will work, and a modern suspension system. Therefore, some of these technologies can be found under the design of this future version of the English broadcaster.
We still don’t know when this Defender will see the light of day, but we imagine the brand will wait for a future revamp of its off-road flagship to introduce such a variant.

Interesting mule test at Aylesbury 🤔Sounded like a V8 and was blown away. The arches seemed to get harder and there was a lot of rumbling behind us.
