The luxury car, SUV, and truck modification experts from Brand, Germany, have done it again. Mansory now has a bespoke program for the L663 modern incarnation of the Land Rover Defender.
The company promises customization beyond limits and (potentially) questionable tuning elements for the Land Rover Defender 110, the intermediate option between the short Defender 90 and the massive Defender 130. This, by the way, sadly or luckily – it all depends on your POV, after all – is a complete vehicle conversion.
The original Land Rover Defender came to life in 1983 as the titular Defender 110 – and it was joined exactly four decades ago by the Land Rover 90 and the extra-long Defender 127 in 1985. Of course, its tough looks and utilitarian interior didn't make it a potential prey for the ritzy part of the aftermarket realm – mostly because customers were interested in seeing their Defender survive just about anything, and they didn't care if the SUV looked like it just went through the car Apocalypse.
Well, that stance certainly changed when Jaguar Land Rover introduced the modern L663 in 2020 as a contemporary off-road luxury 4x4 SUV. Now, the all-new Defender could be taken to the end of the world or the local shopping mall – and it would feel like home in both locations. As such, it is no wonder that aftermarket outlets have also taken an interest in creating custom mods and personalized enhancements for the latest SUV.
Sure, it has taken quite some time since the initial presentation at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show, but the Land Rover Defender 110 has finally popped up on Mansory's tuning radar. The "complete vehicle conversion" features numerous aerodynamic components made from carbon fiber, a neat all-black appearance that doesn't scream 'murdered-out' just because there are some nifty orange touches here and there (the lower front spoiler, the radiator grille, on the side skirts, and rear spoiler), and special LED headlights, among others.
There are also new 23-inch CS.10 Mansory wheels, and the company promises that "much more (is yet) to come." Well, the interior has already received a bundle of enhancements, and this time around, the orange touches are combined with the black dashboard and door cards plus the perforated white leather seat upholster, just for good measure.
There are also 'Mansory' scripts everywhere so you don't forget who got you to stand out in any crowd or the joke of town (again, it's all about the perspective) but also one very important element that could wipe away all the shame – the tuning experts also revealed their Defender 110 is capable of churning out 650 horsepower and to sprint to 100 kph (62 mph) in just 4.9 seconds on the way to a maximum speed of 250 kph (155 mph)!
