The British carmaker is now furthering its rugged legacy, with the unveiling of the Defender Works V8 Trophy.

Offered in a mix of 90 and 110 body styles, it gets a retro-looking Eastnor Yellow body shade, complemented by black accents on the wheel arches, rear door, and the hood. Other notable styling bits include 16-inch steel wheels, LED headlamps, a heritage front grille, and a Land Rover Trophy badge. The retro look continues inside as well with black leather upholstery in contrasting yellow stitching, Recaro sports seats, and Land Rover Classic's infotainment system with integrated navigation and smartphone connectivity.  

Under the hood, it is powered by a 405PS/515Nm 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine, paired to an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission. It gets upgrades to its suspension, steering and braking. Its off-road prowess has also been enhanced with a front winch, multi-point expedition cage, roof rack, underbody protection, A-bar, raised air intake, LED spotlights, and mud-terrain tyres.
