Land Rover Defender V8 Bond Edition
Edition Specific Updates
The carmaker is kind enough to offer Bond Edition with both – three-door (90) and five-door (110) trims. Coming to the changes, both of them features edition-specific 22-inch alloy wheels, brake callipers finished in Xenon Blue, ‘Defender 007’ badging and an exclusive gloss black exterior shade. According to Land Rover, all of these features are considered under the ‘Extended Black Package’.
Since the carmaker has decided to limit the overall production, therefore, every single masterpiece will bring its buyers a variety of exclusive features inside the cabin as well. The illuminated sill plates will now welcome the occupants with a Pivi Pro touchscreen infotainment system that plays ‘Defender 007’ at the beginning. There are even puddle lamps with a similar graphic to tell everyone that this is something really special.
Other feature
Land Rover has decided to continue offering the Terrain Response System on the all-new Defender V8 Bond Edition. With a four-wheel drive powertrain onboard, the limited edition SUV will continue to remain truly capable off the road. To be precise, there are several modes including Snow, Sand Rock Crawl, Grass, Gravel, etc to further enhance the overall capability.
Engine & Powertrain
This is obviously not your regular SUV. In fact, the special 300 customers who will be getting the Bond Edition are all set to get a complimentary 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine that kicks out a massive 518BHP alongside a peak torque rated at 625Nm. There’s even an eight-speed automatic gearbox to push it hard and fast. As claimed by Land Rover, the exact number for a triple-digit speed is found to be somewhere around 5.2 seconds. A top speed of 240kmph also sounds perfect for an SUV this large.
Is it coming to India?
Well, there’s no announcement regarding the same yet. However, we would love to see the all-new Land Rover Defender V8 Bond Edition for the Indian market soon. The standard Defender range right now cost its customers a price ranging between Rs.76.57 Lakhs to Rs.1.11 Crores (ex-showroom, Delhi).
