Want ‘Macho’? Try the Land Rover Defender XTech Special Edition. This not-for-U.S.-sale vehicle is the ultimate expression of the term, in a very old school kind of way.
It comes painted in military hues of Orkney Grey and Nara Bronze with Santorini Black trim garnishing the roof & wheel arches with black chequer plate to bumper & sills.
The Special ed. Rides on those black Gloss Black Saw Tooth alloy 16-inch wheels that wear MTR off-road tyres, specifically 235/85 Goodyear Wranglers.
The Defender XTech Special Edition is powered by a 2.2-litre diesel that produces a very useful 360 Nm of torque at the crank and is mated to a six-speed manual.
The cabion insides get a pure Ebony part leather upholstery that complements both the Orkney Grey or Nara Bronze fabric with contrast Lunar stitching.
The Xtech Special is available in both Defender 90 and the longer wheelbase 110 models in two- and four-door body styles. It goes on sale in the UK this month, with a starting price of £27,995, or about $43,445 or about AED 160,000.
