The new-gen Land Rover Defender is the latest vehicle to have received the Racing Green treatment from Carlex. Joining the likes of the Yachting Edition, the tuner’s latest take on the British SUV boasts a deep green paint finish inspired by the British Racing Green.
The looks have been further refined with
the addition of the carbon fiber pieces, such as the bonnet covers, wheel arch
extensions and spare wheel cover that also sports an embossed motif. Everything
is contrasted by the porcelain white stripes that run across the length of the
vehicle and were also applied to the lower parts of the doors with ‘Racing
Green Edition’ lettering. The tuned Defender has also been fitted with bespoke
black rims wrapped in Yokohama tires.
The interior features sports seats at the
front and rear reupholstered in brown leather with the ‘Racing Green Edition’
logo embedded in the middle. Green accents can be found throughout the cabin,
alongside the modified steering wheel, ‘Racing Green Edition’ embossing in the
front armrest, the ‘Carlex’ logo on the dashboard in front of the passenger and
a limited edition plaque with the serial number.
Carlex hasn’t messed with the oily parts
of the Defender, which in the U.S. can be had with a 296 hp 2.0-liter
twin-turbo four or a 396 hp 3.0-liter six-pot mild-hybrid. The former does the 0-96 km/h in 7.7 seconds and the latter drops the time to 5.8
seconds. Pricing starts at US$ 49,900.
