Land Rover Classic Defender V8 Soft Top
The market for Defender restomods remains strong. Land Rover Classic is joining the fray with the Defender V8 Soft Top. Based on specially sourced Defender 90 donor vehicles manufactured between 2012 and 2016, each one is hand-built at the Solihull plant in the U.K., with a 5.0L V8 supplying 405hp. Mated to a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, it can go 0-60 in just 5.6 seconds, with Alcon brakes, anti-roll bars, and Bilstein dampers bringing the ride to modern standards. A bespoke canvas hood ensures a perfect fit and can easily be removed for open-air driving.
