Land Rover Defender Octa guns for G 63 AMG | ‪@Evoindia‬

The Defender Octa is the fastest all-terrain vehicle we’ve tested, appropriate for a 4x4 that will form the base for the works Land Rover entry at Dakar. The Defender Octa is powered by BMW’s familiar 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 with Octa-specific intake, exhaust, and tuning to put out 626bhp and 750Nm of torque – similar figures to the outgoing M5 CS. This is not a plug-in hybrid, but you do get 48-volt mild-hybrid tech to improve throttle responses and give you 50Nm of overboost to launch the 2.5-tonne Octa to 100kmph in 4 seconds flat. We are in the South African wilderness to test the Defender Octa to its limits, on the tarmac, and off the road. 0:00 Introduction 1:33 What is the Defender Octa 3:01 Defender Octa engine and performance 3:42 Defender Octa at the Dakar 2026 4:17 Defender Octa styling 5:38 Defender Octa road driving impressions 6:49 Defender Octa's new air suspension 7:11 Defender Octa dirt track driving impressions 8:48 Defender Octa Interiors 9:12 Defender Octa rally track 10:50 Defender Octa rock crawl 12:45 Defender Octa sand dune driving 13:41 Defender Octa verdict #evoIndia #landrover #landroverdefender #defender #defenderocta #landroveroffroad #africa #southafrica #drivereview #review #offroad #offroading #4x4 #4x4offroad #suv #v8 #v8power Want more #ThrillOfDriving videos?
