Key Points: 22" Style 7026 Alloy Wheels, Charente Grey Exterior Paint, Deployable Side Steps.
The Defender 110 OCTA is a high-performance SUV engineered by Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) team. It is powered by a BMW-sourced 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 with a mild hybrid system, producing 626bhp and driving all four wheels through a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, with low-range capabilities and locking centre and rear differentials.
Stopping power comes from 15.7-inch Brembo brake discs with six-piston callipers, while a hydraulically interlinked "6D Dynamics" system replaces the anti-roll bars, allowing the wheels to move independently for maximum articulation off-road. It also provides better pitch and roll control for improved on-road handling, and increases the ride height by 28mm.
The new ‘OCTA’ driving mode adjusts the exhaust, suspension and driveline for high-speed off-road driving on loose and uneven surfaces. It includes a specific ABS setting, partially deactivated traction control, and an off-road launch control system. The all-wheel-drive system sends approximately 80% of the car’s torque to the rear wheels for a more agile, rally-inspired feel, while the interior lighting turns red, and key performance readouts are displayed on the infotainment screen.
