The Land Rover Defender - The exterior design

The new Defender V8 is also identifiable from the outside at first glance, because it shows several elements that are reserved for this model version alone. These include special model emblems, a quad exhaust system with distinctive tailpipes and 22-inch alloy wheels with a Satin Dark Grey finish. The Defender V8 also claims an exceptional position thanks to its front brake calipers in Xenon Blue and 20-inch brake discs. The eight-cylinder engine also causes a stir with its engine sound: the careful acoustic tuning of the air intake and exhaust system guarantees a sound that is as determined as it is authentic. In every driving situation, the V8 engine provides stimulating background music - not least when the Dynamic program is activated in the Terrain Response System. The Defender V8 can be painted in three exterior colors: Carpathian Grey, Yulong White and Santorini Black. In the gray and white paint alternatives, a roof finished in Narvik Black provides an attractive contrast. Numerous body details in Shadow Atlas round out the V8 model's distinct look."
