2023 Land Rover Defender 90 P525 Carpathian Edition

This 2023 Defender 90 is the P525 V8 Carpathian Edition, the version that drops the mild-hybrid six-cylinder for Jaguar Land Rover's supercharged 5.0-litre V8. The page quotes 518 bhp and 625 Nm, good for 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds and a 149 mph top speed. That makes it one of the quickest and most characterful ways to buy a modern Defender, and the short-wheelbase body keeps it compact and purposeful.

This example has covered just 12,399 miles and has had one owner from new. It is finished in grey, with side steps and an electrically deployable towbar fitted as optional extras. The towbar supports the 3,500 kg towing capacity, so the car's usefulness hasn't been compromised by the extra power.

Inside, it has three-zone climate control, heated 40-20-40 rear seats with a centre armrest, a 3D surround camera system and Android Auto. It's a low-mileage, single-owner example of the most powerful Defender 90 on sale.
