Land Rover Defender X-Tech: A New Take On a Classic

Fans of the Defender have been waiting with baited breath for the release of Land Rover’s limited edition Defender X-Tech series. Early images suggest that this vehicle was well worth the wait. 

Making its formal debut at the Brussel’s Auto Show, the Defender X-Tech comes in two models: a three-door, Defender 90 style, or a five-door Defender 110 with a longer wheel base. The three-door model is produced exclusively in Zermatt Silver, with the 5-door sporting a rugged Olive Green. The roof and wheel arches feature a Santorini Black finish.

Unique to the X-Tech series, these Defenders feature black 16 inch Saw Tooth alloy wheels, which give the vehicle an aggressive, go-anywhere look. The Defender X-Tech is powered by a 2.4-litre commonrail diesel engine and matched with a 6-speed manual transmission.
The Defender X-Tech lists at £24,995 and is available in March 2011. As usual and unfortunately, the Defender X-Tech will not be made available in North America.
