Land Rover has just presented a special edition Defender 110 and 90 aimed at James Bond fans. This is related to Agent 007's latest film, No Time to Die, which uses a Land Rover as one of its vehicles.

This British car brand presents the mysterious-looking Defender, perfect for the flamboyant spy in action. This special edition was made by the Land Rover SVO Bespoke department, which gives it a black color like the M16 secret service vehicle.

This SUV uses a mighty engine with a 5.0 liter supercharged V8 paired with 8-speed automatic transmission. This engine is capable of producing 518 hp and a maximum torque of 625 Nm.

The ability of this machine can go from 0 to 100 km per hour in 5.1 seconds. The top speed is claimed to reach 240 km per hour, an ability that must be owned by a Bond secret agent vehicle to fight crime.

Unfortunately, there is no sophisticated weaponry on this special edition Land Rover. Unlike the famous Aston Martin DB5, this Defender includes unique details. There is a Defender 007 badge on the back, sides, and numbering for this limited-production special edition.

The inside remains the same. However, details of James Bond 007 can be found on the Pivi Pro touch screen head unit, which includes Bond animation and some parts of the car's interior like the tread plate.

As a bespoke product, this special edition Land Rover can be personalized according to the wishes of consumers. This includes the choice of interior materials to be used as well as specific coloring.
