Lot Essay
Inspired by the specification of the Defenders that appear in No Time To Die, the stealthy Defender V8 110 Bond Edition features bespoke touches that honour Land Rover’s long partnership with the James Bond franchise.
Based on the recently launched Defender V8 110, the Bond Edition is powered by a 5.0-litre supercharged petrol engine, which produces 525PS, 625Nm of torque and drives through an eight-speed automatic transmission. It delivers new levels of performance and driver engagement by combining the V8 with expertly developed suspension and transmission tuning to create the fastest and most dynamically rewarding Defender yet. With unique suspension and transmission tuning, including bespoke spring and damper rates and a new Electronic Active Rear Differential, Defender V8 delivers more agile and engaging handling with heightened body control, all accompanied by a characteristic V8 supercharged soundtrack.
This vehicle comes with extended black pack, 22-inch gloss black wheels and signature V8 xenon blue front callipers. The iconic 007 logo features on the rear badge, puddle lamp, illuminated tread plate and PIVI screen animation.
Completely unique to this Defender V8 Bond Edition is its instrument panel end cap with a ’60 Years of Bond’ logo etched design.
