Sound on! Land Rover's SVX department developed a hardcore offroad version of the Defender. The new name Land Rover Defender Octa has been launched already and I have taken a new spy video of this Twin-Turbo V8 powered prototype during some hot tests on the Nürburgring.
Usually you would expect such a vehicle somewhere developed somewhere in the dirt and offroad, but not on a race track like the Nürburgring. The performance of this limited Defender top-version is incredible.
My KZbin Channel CarSpyMedia focuses on high quality car spy videos that only show the model mentioned in the title. I do not show any scenes twice and therefore want to stand out from other spy video channels.

The roll control is incredible

[@rikkiseddo]

It’s Land Rover’s new 6D suspension tech that’s already premiered on the Rangie Sport SV.

[@DiaperSNiFFER]

@@rikkiseddoalso the fact the defender is not a unibody also 😏

[@user-hg6vd2iz7m]

you obv work at LR- be a chap and tell them to build me a 130 v8 with a third row delete and the outbound cargo floor mat in sedona red. im in Canada.

[@DiaperSNiFFER]

@@user-hg6vd2iz7m just wait for the SVX 😉

[@dahotrod1533]

Finest Tata India technology 🇮🇳

[@Volvocarspassion]

The squeaking of tires sounds so much like a Tie Fighter 😅

[@paulfredstone6290]

Like watching a Hippo perform ballet.

[@akk424]

ITS ALWAYS THE PEOPLE WHO COULDNT AFFORD A LAND ROVER IN THEIR WHOLE LIFE COMPLAINING ABOUT RELIABILITY

[@atom999]

Pointless in every way but hey why not. Finally an answer to g63. Looks fun, i bet it will be very popular.

[@nicholaswirth1011]

Even the p400 would run rings around the g63 on and off road.

[@OG-Jakey]

Looks 1000x better than the g63. Never understood the appeal of them tbh. I do love the 6x6, it's the only exception.

[@atom999]

G63 is an icon, from design point of view, largely unchanged from the 80s, unlike the defender. Defender won't trump it but its a nice alternative.

[@iibise.3827]

That 6D suspension is impressive

[@enoch2252]

Yes!! testing an offroader on the world most famous race track. Makes total sense

[@OG-Jakey]

This looks absolutely terrifying. No idea how that is going around the track so fast. Insane.😂

[@samsparks1849]

people stealing them now know, what it can do in a police chase, lol

[@DiaperSNiFFER]

Everyone complains about reliability on these things . But thieves for some reason love em

[@theuncanspan]

The 1st entrance looks brilliant and realistic.

[@gordonohare6557]

Pit stop every lap for new tyres 😂

[@acj2379]

All train tires

[@omarr6021]

the first minute in the video , car license VA23NHO RHD uk plate was more impressive and aggressive in turns

[@jonothanhayman2932]

Now there's an exercise in weight management if ever I saw one. I'm left wondering why, other than overcoming the obvious technical/physics challenges.

[@rikkiseddo]

Land Rover’s new 6D suspension tech. Already premiered on the new Rangie Sport SV.

[@bakersojah9167]

super solid. .

[@pratikjain452]

Mat watson would be satified now watching this video

[@VickersDoorter]

With all that camouflage, you really can't tell what it is.

[@ramir880]

4.4Liter 600hp version?

[@DiaperSNiFFER]

Yes

[@guruofficial2]

Nice Rover car. ❤ from Indonesia of the South East Asia

[@brickrightbuildinglandscaping]

I find that amazing how such a big off roader corners and drives like that.i think jlr should build one all purpose off roader and one all purpose on road only vehicle its a bit confusing. Its more on road than off id say although capable off road .no articulation any more hinders it.Theres also a huge window for jlr to make a pick truck why haven't they missing a huge trick here . I do love the defenders though 👍

[@ChickyPuppyDragon]

This is super coooool .

[@AGC828]

Al all they have to do is prove the Defender OCTA is reliable and won't start coming apart after only 100 miles

[@liquidmakor6793]

This is like watching Ferrari test the 488 on the Rubicon trail.

[@WayApp]

Engineered for luxury

[@Blythe1967able]

Security needs addressing JLR

[@rikkiseddo]

Lol. It already has.

[@newdefendermods]

Looks like its in the OCTA mode! 🤯👍🏽 I wonder what time it does the lap in? 🏁

[@ckaparos]

Not sure but its impressive, engine note is muted compared to the 5.0L supercharged!

[@covak2002]

@@ckaparos 5.0L supercharged has been muted since 2022 due to EU regulations now no more massive crackles like we used to get

[@ckaparos]

@@covak2002 true but it still sounds stellar or get an aftermarket miltek exhuast.

[@akk424]

🤩🤩🤩

[@chadmanning9967]

I want that one!

[@Exaust_SCF]

is it me or this thing has no roll in curve ?? that's nuts !

[@rikkiseddo]

Land Rover’s new 6D suspension tech, that’s already premiered on the new Rangie Sport SV.

[@ombre_blanco1725]

The Octa is equipped with JLR's new 6D Dynamic Suspension. Comes with hydraulic interlinked dampers, height adjustable air springs and pitch control. The new setup sends up to 4000nm of force during hard cornering

[@ggbjgybb9715]

is that hybrid?

[@rikkiseddo]

Mild hybrid S63B44 V8.

[@falehm6339]

[@G太郎-i7o]

こういう使い方をする車だったのね！

[@davidmarchand1944]

Oh look, LR raptor'ed something... so original.

[@antesimic990]

G63 AMG vs LR Defender O!

[@prometeo0136]

4.4 BMW engine?🤔

[@dyansidqih2002]

Exactly

[@dahotrod1533]

Most likely a JLR ajv8

[@ckaparos]

M5 CS engine I hear

[@rikkiseddo]

It’s the S63B44 from the latest BMWs. Mild hybrid. But can be paired with a PHEV like the XM.

[@carnutzomari]

[@CastleKnight7]

“Off-road”?

[@noelwhittle7922]

little bit quicker than the TD5 Defender

[@somprabh3522]

[@dottycfn]

Hardcore offroad? Rotfl

[@zerocool801]

Is it just me or it sounds like a muted BMW M5?

[@rikkiseddo]

S63B44. But likely louder than the latest BMWs using it.

[@DriverTuition]

Shame it cant be trusted in desert tundra, where we ran a dozen Landies with minimal support of a few REME bods and a hammer. Our boys can no longer be supplied with kit from JLR. Heritage forgotten. I've driven the ring hundreds of times. Last thing i need is one of these for that place. Sort of impressive, but Pointless and shows wrong direction of development.

[@user-xc4nu9lh6t]

Tax the super rich heavily and give it to poor needy

[@Marc-ty5sz]

what kinda black magic is this

[@Drakesy]

Probably broke down before it completed the lap

[@roostermike]

How many laps before it broke down…

[@dennis3779]

Straight axles were much better

[@dennis3779]

Look at the picture this thing is only using the outer sides of the tire not so with straight axles

[@dennis3779]

At least they dare because it is not wet or freezing

[@FlamaFlanga]

looks like the same shitty fender wells so smaller tires. Gonna need portals to get any real clearance. show me off road not the track.

[@sandy8591]

Pointless

[@Pete68T]

What a Waste of Time and Money Making This Great Lump of a Car,Having Had a Defender 90 and also an Mx5 There is No Point Whatsoever in a So Called Performance SUV !!! The Weight and Centre of Gravity is Everything in a Car Made to Go around Corners and a Landrovers is Far to High Hence the Weight Transfer Destroying All the Tyres. I Have Seen the Defender 90 is Now at £120,000 With the V8 !!!!!! ,I Remember when they were £20,000 or Less and Build Quality Was Rubbish.,If You So Rich Go Buy a Standard 4x4 For offroad Fun and Some Sportscars for Having Fun on a Track.

[@rikkiseddo]

And yet it goes round perfectly flat thanks to its new 6D suspension tech, that’s already premiered on the new Rangie Sport SV.

[@thomast7748]

absurd car for 1d10ts

[@alanfaulkner6329]

I didn't see any offroading.

[@rikkiseddo]

It’s already done that testing.
