looks like any other Land Rover Defender
doesn't it but it isn't this car is
designed to celebrate 70 years of
production a million defenders sold and
it's called the defender works v8 the
clue is in the name isn't it under there
we've got a 5 litre 400 horsepower v8
which means naught 62 in a hot hatch
troubling 5.6 seconds and a somewhat
Aero limited top speed of a hundred and
six miles an hour what else can I tell
you well it's got an 8-speed ZF
automatic gearbox the brakes the
suspension the anti-roll bars
they've all been upgraded I say upgraded
but there's only so much upgrading you
can do isn't that still a defender
underneath I've driven this thing in
fact and quite frankly it's terrifying
inside here well it's all a bit flashier
than you'd think really isn't it there's
lots and lots of leather we've got the
bucket seats from the Range Rover Sport
SVR here we got the world's tiniest
sat-nav screen in there but don't worry
it's still a defender at heart there's
absolutely no airbags there's absolutely
no side impact protection all of which
is a bit worrying when you've got 400
horsepower under your right foot what
one well you can't have one
unfortunately they're only building 100
of 50 of these by hand in Solihull using
hammers and nails and they're all sold
out the price 150,000 pounds that's
right 150 grand for a very angry two-ton
brick
