A Road-Legal Version of the Award-Winning Defender Dakar Is Coming Soon

Defender has unveiled a road-legal version of its award-winning Dakar Rally challenger, bringing race-proven capability and performance to customers in a limited-edition production model. Inspired by the Defender that secured victory in the demanding Dakar Rally’s Stock category, the new Defender Dakar combines a powerful 635hp twin-turbo V8 with motorsport-derived engineering, distinctive styling and exceptional all-terrain capability.

Featuring a wider stance, 35-inch all-terrain tyres, bespoke suspension and a host of rally-inspired enhancements, the Defender Dakar represents the most extreme expression of the iconic 4×4 to date. With customer reservations expected to open soon, this exclusive model offers enthusiasts the opportunity to own a Defender shaped by one of the world’s toughest motorsport events.
