Land Rover Classic is building 25 adventure-ready Defender Works V8 Trophy vehicles in 2021 in a tribute to the iconic 4×4. 

The V8 Trophy vehicles are based on re-engineered 2012-2016 Defender Works V8 and features 5.0-litre V8 petrol powertrain, eight-speed ZF automatic transmission, comprehensive uprated suspension, steering and braking packages. Also features a range of upgrades for off-road use.
