Land Rover didn't always build plush, tech-laden Defenders. There was a time when the British carmaker purpose-made these SUVs for African safaris. As a tribute to that very piece of history, a custom shop just churned out this gorgeous, retro Defender.

Everrati has taken a perfectly good Land Rover and transformed it into a glorified golf cart for shuttling fraction-percenters. The fully electric "Shore Tender" rides aboard a superyacht, remaining charged and at the ready for land-touring duties.

Land Rover debuted its longest Defender this week, adding some extra size and passenger capacity to its most capable nameplate. More than just extra size, the eight-seat Defender 130 is a luxurious, uniquely equipped SUV.

Duckworth Overland has set out to meld two of the most recognizable products in land travel: the Land Rover Defender and the streamlined aluminum camper. The resulting "Aerover" has go-anywhere 4x4 grit and stylish coachbuilt living accommodations.

The Land Rover Defender V8 is back. Available in both 90 and 110 body styles, a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 provides 100 extra horses over the turbocharged six-cylinder mild hybrid, making the all-new Defender V8 the fastest, most powerful Defender ever.

The new Land Rover Defender 110 is one of the best vehicles for venturing outdoors with loads of sports gear. Front Runner makes it easier with a modular roof rack that has dozens of mounts for bolting all kinds of gear to the Defender roof.

Mere days after Jeep veered its plug-in hybrid tech deeper off-road with the Wrangler 4xe, Land Rover joins it with a plug-in off-roader all its own, the Defender 400e. The 400e tops the 2021 Defender range not only in efficiency but also in power.

Land Rover faced an almost impossible task in creating the new Defender, but it has made a decent fist of dragging the design into the 21st Century without entirely obliterating the DNA of its legendary predecessor.

Yesterday was World Land Rover Day, marking 71 years of all-terrain history for the manufacturer. The day also marked a 1.2 million kilometer (745,645 mile) milestone in the test and development cycle for the brand new, new look, Defender.

Land Rover's Classic division is rolling out a limited edition V8-powered beast to mark the 70th anniversary of the iconic off-roader - the Defender Works V8.

Good corporate citizenship is becoming an important factor in the annual report and this is now evident on the auction block where the additional value of milestone models is being retained for the benefit of charity, while creating value to the donating company via advanced public relations.

Land Rover's Defender reached the end of its life earlier this year, but that hasn't slowed East Coast Defender down. Its latest creation is the Project XIII, a 1993 North American Defender with an LS7 Chevy V8.
