Do you like your Land Rover Defenders with even more physical presence? If a recent video recorded near Germany’s Nürburgring is any indication, Land Rover has intriguing plans in store for the 2024 Defender SVX. The YouTube account Automotive Mike recently uploaded footage of the vehicle in question coated in a camouflage print.
The caption accompanying the video notes that “the fender flares are a bit wider than on the standard Defender V8,” and that riding in this places the driver somewhat higher than they would be in the standard version of the Defender.
Road & Track‘s report on the footage shares a few other details, including the presence of what look to be bucket seats in the Defender’s interior. They also speculate that this version of the Defender is using a V8 engine.
