New Defender 90 'Spy' pics

My friend just sent me these. Guy whose house it was parked outside came out and said he was on private land and requested he stops taking photos !! as this is a development vehicle. Yawn

That spare wheel looks ridiculously large on the back door. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Those front calipers look enormous, more like the multi piston ones you get on a Porsche. According to the govt site it's petrol engine. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto

This isn't the 90 you are going to see early next year, it's production will be 2022/3.

Get a load of those twin exhaust tubes.

The driver/passengers door is bigger than the rear tub.

Which government website? I looked it up on https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/ where you can check if it is taxed. On there it says Fuel type Not available Richard M

There is a review of the 90 in Autocar this week. Seems that they were impressed.

Maybe it's the 5ltr 500bhp V8 model, 0-60 in 4 seconds. Common sense isn't very common.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that one government website knows the fuel and the other doesn't and I bet they use the same source for their data. Richard M

The new Defender won't have an AJV8, and I highly doubt we will ever see a V8 in the new Defender at all...

Says a lot about emission control and safety gubbins that the occupants heads are placed 2/3rd of the way back from the front. A bit like in a sports car. Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!
