Land Rover SV Bespoke has created a limited edition Land Rover Defender V8 to celebrate the 25th James Bond film, No Time To Die, ahead of its world premiere. Inspired by the specification of the Defender SUVs featured in the film, the stealthy 2022 Defender V8 Bond Edition features an Extended Black Pack with 22-inch Luna Gloss Black alloy wheels, signature Xenon Blue front brake calipers, and a ‘Defender 007’ rear badge.
Inside you’ll find illuminated ‘Defender 007’ treadplates and a specially developed touchscreen start-up animation for the intuitive Pivi Pro infotainment2 system that honors the Land Rover brand’s long partnership with the James Bond franchise. At night, customers will also spot unique ‘007’ puddle lamp graphics.
Just 300 of the Defender V8 Bond Edition will be offered globally, with each one featuring laser etching interior detailing that it is ‘one of 300’ as well as the SV Bespoke logo. Each vehicle is commissioned by the vehicle personalization experts at SV Bespoke in the UK. Defender vehicles are at the heart of the action in No Time To Die alongside two Range Rover Sport SVR vehicles. A Range Rover Classic and Land Rover Series III are also in the film, which will be released in cinemas around the world from September 30, 2021.
Based on the recently launched Defender V8, the Bond Edition is powered by a 5.0-liter supercharged engine, which produces 518hp, 461 lb-ft of torque and drives through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Defender V8 110 accelerates from 0-60mph in just 5.1 seconds with a top speed of 149mph.
