2023 Land Rover Defender 110 V8

The Defender 110 V8 is Land Rover's performance-focused interpretation of the modern Defender — powered by the same 5.0-litre supercharged V8 found in Jaguar's F-Type and Range Rover Sport SVR, producing 518 bhp and dispatching 0-60 in under five seconds. It is a genuinely unusual machine: a full-size, genuinely capable off-roader with sports car pace, and one of the few ways to combine that brief with a supercharged V8 in a current production vehicle.

This 2023 example presents in Santorini Black metallic with an Extended Black exterior pack, 22-inch Style 5098 gloss black alloys, and a roof spoiler — a coherent, blacked-out specification that suits the performance character of the V8 variant. The interior is trimmed in full Ebony Windsor leather and Suedecloth, the premium combination in the Defender range. With 24,000 miles from new and a full service history, it sits in the expected mileage bracket for a three-year-old performance vehicle.

The remaining options — fixed side steps, classic mudflaps, and semi-rigid spare wheel cover — reflect a spec that leans into the Defender's utilitarian roots rather than away from them. For buyers who want serious performance without sacrificing the Defender's authenticity, this is a well-optioned, well-maintained example at a price that already reflects some of the initial depreciation.
