This week I’m driving the Land Rover Defender 110 V8, a high-powered version of the iconic and capable off-roader. Only problem is, the model I have is fitted with street-oriented tires, making it more suited for commuting and grocery runs than tackling rugged trails. While plenty of Defenders conquer serious off-road terrain, Land Rover knows many owners stick to pavement, catering to affluent buyers who love the rugged image but rarely venture beyond city streets. So, instead of an off-road test, we’ll focus on its luxury features, unique design details, and the beastly V8 under the hood. Does it make sense to buy a machine this capable if it’s never leaving freshly manicured asphalt? Today let’s take a close look at the Defender and talk about it.
