What’s all this about then? Well, this wasn’t actually meant to happen, but we’re very glad it did. The new Defender’s Programme Director Stuart Frith recently told TG that a V8 wasn’t even in the product plan when the project began eight years ago. The team with the unenviable (but at the same time impossibly exciting) task of reinventing Land Rover’s iconic 4x4 did build a couple of mules early on, though, and in the end it was just too good an opportunity to miss. Welcome then, to the production-ready Land Rover Defender V8. Oh yes.
The P525 is JLR's wonderful 5.0-litre V8 with a Defender thrown in for free. Is brilliant
