Yahoo Autos Defender Octa is new high-performance flagship with twin-turbo V8
Defender, one of the three brands recently spun off from Land Rover, will launch a high-performance flagship by the end of 2024. The off-roader will be based on the Land Rover Defender 110 but it will receive a powerful twin-turbocharged V8 and numerous chassis updates.
The octahedron shape of a diamond inspired the Octa name, according to Defender, and a scattering of squared-shaped emblems inside and out will help set this model (and other upcoming high-end variants) apart from more affordable trim levels. Zooming in on one of the preview images released by the brand suggest that the Octa also gets a specific body kit and a wider track covered by wheel arch flares.
In some ways, it's almost Raptor-like. It's tall, wide, and it looks like its idea of a midnight snack is a compact crossover.
