Land Rover Defender Trophy Edition Unveiled- More Capable Off-Road?

Land Rover has taken the veil off a new special edition Defender, called Trophy Edition, which is a reminder of its Camel Trophy cars. In this iteration, there are multiple elements inspired by the original Camel Trophy vehicles, which demonstrated their abilities going through extreme environments. Specifically, it gets off-road accessories and retro paint schemes. All of the enhancements are aimed at improving the capabilities of the vehicle to tackle difficult terrains.

Starting with the details, the Trophy Edition, based on the Defender 110, gets a snorkel mounted on the front fender and improves the SUV's water wading capacity. The number stands at 1.2 meters to keep the engine going even in dusty conditions. This is complemented by chunky all-terrain tires covering 20-inch gloss black alloy wheels. To go with the look, the SUV is finished in Deep Sandglow Yellow or Keswick Green colours.

The brand has also placed trophy edition decals on the bonnet and C-pillar with a rear badge. Similarly, on the inside, there are Trophy illuminated tread plates complemented by Ebony leather interiors. Meanwhile, the cross-car beam gets the same colour as the exterior paint, along with Trophy branding etched using a laser.

The list of optional accessories for the SUV includes a roof rack, a black deployable roof ladder, a side-mounted gear carrier, front and rear classic mud flaps, and a raised air intake. This accessory pack is available in the UK for £4995 (around 5.79 lakh). Apart from these brand is providing an option of a paint protection film.

The Defender 110 Trophy Edition will make its public debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed between 10 to 13 July. It is already available for order now with a price tag of £89,810 (around Rs 1.04 crore).

Before this, Land Rover Classic produced 25 units of the original Defender that drew inspiration from the Camel Trophy, featuring graphics and modifications that closely reflect the expeditions. Unveiled in 2021, that variant was completely sold out within just three days, leading to a second batch of 25 units released a year later.
