2023 Land Rover Defender 110 V8 P525

The Defender 110 V8 P525 represents the performance apex of Land Rover's Defender lineup, built around a supercharged 5.0-litre V8 that produces 518 bhp and dispatches 0–60 mph in 4.9 seconds — figures that sit comfortably in sports car territory despite the car's considerable mass and genuine off-road capability. This 2023 example has covered 18,000 miles from new and is accompanied by a full Land Rover service history.

The specification is well-chosen. Finished in Carpathian Grey Premium Metallic over a Vintage Tan Windsor Leather interior, the pairing is subtler than many V8 Defender combinations and ages better for it. The standout factory option is the QuickSilver Sport Exhaust with Sound Architect — not merely cosmetic, it meaningfully alters the character of the V8 both acoustically and in terms of exhaust flow, and is one of the more sought-after options on this model.

At 18,000 miles on a 2023 plate, this is a relatively lightly used example of a variant that typically sees active service. The combination of desirable colour, quality leather trim, and a properly specced exhaust system makes this a cohesive package rather than a default-spec example.
