Land Rover Defender 90 P525 V8

This 2022 Land Rover Defender 90 is the P525 V8, the short-wheelbase model powered by JLR's supercharged 5.0-litre petrol V8 and the closest thing the current Defender range has to a hot rod. The page quotes 518 bhp and 625 Nm, with a 0-60 mph time of 4.9 seconds and a 149 mph top speed. Power goes through an eight-speed automatic to permanent four-wheel drive, and a towing rating of 3,500 kg means the performance doesn't come at the expense of the car's working ability.

This example is finished in black and has covered 31,483 miles since its 72-plate registration in 2022. The one listed option is the 22-inch Style 5098 five-spoke wheels in gloss black. The specification also includes a sliding panoramic roof, a Meridian surround sound system, heated rear seats in a 40-20-40 split with a centre armrest, and Apple CarPlay.

The V8 Defender 90 is a niche choice: its short body and large engine give it a character the diesel and plug-in hybrid models lack. It is Euro 6 compliant, though the 330 g/km CO2 figure shows the cost of that engine.
