With 386kW on tap the Defender 90 V8 is capable of rocketing from standstill to 100km/h in only 5.2 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 240km/h, while the 110 takes 5.4 seconds to reach 100km/h.

This expedition will also be the first real-life expedition test for the new Defender, across two continents and a variety of extreme terrain.
