The suspension are still air springs like any other defender but they deleted the anti roll bars and have a hydraulic system to manage roll, pitch and diving. Yes it is more complicated.

Order it. I’m in, but can’t decide between OCTA with 20” Duratracs, matte finish, Charente gray, or First Edition same spec (Carpathian grey) but about 5,000 more for chopped carbon. Like the Carpathian grey much more, but $5,000 more!

Did you go with the 22 inch rims with road tires to obtain the highest Vmax? In speaking with the rep, if you order it with the 20 inch/off-road tires, the Vmax is program limited from factory and then you may be stuck with this.

Just hearing you talk about it I think you should 100% get one if you can. Something maybe to be aware of since the engine is a BMW unit. They had alot of trouble with burnt valve seals in those hot V TT V8's for awhile. I'm not sure if that has been rectified or not with the later generation motors. I was once told by the head mechanic at my local BMW dealership to never buy a TT V8 bmw and definitely not an X5. It wouldn't stop me if I had the means, just some food for thought.

I’d say sit tight on this one. 175k+Tax and fees seems a bit of a stretch. In addition, it is so far out of reach for most people that from a business perspective it doesn’t make a lot of sense unless the plan is to duplicate parts to sell them. Outside of that, I am not sure losing two vehicles everyone follows you for and is the bread and butter of your content makes sense. I’d pivot with that money and broaden the audience with a new vehicle in addition to the Defender. I think in a few years some of the design elements will find their way into a next generation Defender. Now, if it’s for you personally , that’s a completely different thing. Buy what you want if it’s not breaking the bank.

@@Lucky8Dual ARB with tank under the rear floor in the 90 (it fits). I designed, 3D printed, and its clean install. Also wouldn’t mind seeing a removable floor to drop in the 90. I built one that Z folds, drops in over the seats with a 2nd piece that has 2 small cubby’s in the rear. No need to remove seats either, just drop it in, strap in down in 10 min. Built a prototype I’m playing with now. I have Sketch-Up drawings for it but there is some fine tuning to do there. This weekend I’m installing an 800watt alternator charger with reversed charging to keep battery topped up as part of a battery system. You know how Defender batteries drain… I’ll send you the ARB plate and photos to play with if you like. Just let me know.

I had a deposit down for one and was invited to see it at Goodwood. It’s an interesting thing, but…. In the UK it will cost £185,000 and you can only have it in a few select colours. The First Edition only comes with lots of gold and carbon. Carbon on a Defender just feels very wrong. So I then thought I’d order a std edition car, thats only available in gold or grey, (but no carbon thankfully). In the end I decided that for this much money I want to be able to choose the options I want, so I’m out and have cancelled my order.
