A so-called 'mild hybrid' powerplant. That makes for a 0-100 time of less than four seconds and 750 Nm of torque.

Because even though you have the V8 and an active exhaust system, the engine is still mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with high and low gearing. And the brakes are specially calibrated for driving on loose gravel.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-19185 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DEF_OCTA_25MY_LOCATION_DETAIL_030724.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"10240\" height=\"5760\" \/>On the tarmac, the active suspension then comes in handy for lowering the Defender (in the longer 110 version, by the way), making for better handling.<\/p><p>Equipped with an advanced 6D Dynamics air suspension, the Defender OCTA is equipped with height-adjustable air springs and hydraulic interconnected active dampers that allow it to maintain an almost continuous horizontal position.

The wings have been greatly widened to create space for the larger wheels. The underside of the vehicle is also covered with a metal under shield with a unique graphite coating.<\/p><p>With the Defender Octa, Land Rover puts more than a powerful engine with some extras on the road. The most capable Defender ever has been carefully developed to ensure optimum performance. Ultimately, the Defender OCTA underwent almost 14,000 tests where it went all out. From high-speed off-road durability tests to road tests. The end result is a British-built off-road-ready super-SUV. A desert racer that does not hold back in any way.<\/p><p><em><strong>Land Rover Defender Octa<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p><em>Price: \u20ac275,000 (upwards)<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has-el-gap el-gap-default elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e39faf6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e39faf6\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a43850f\" data-id=\"a43850f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-96b94c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"96b94c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=uNMkpdizQfk&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Defender Octa, the brand's most powerful and off-road capable Land Rover Defender ever.
