Land Rover announced the Defender Eivissa Limited Editions, inspired by the Mediterranean island of Ibiza in Spain. The SUV is offered in Sunrise and Noontide configurations, featuring vibrant colors, special badges, and a total production of only six units (three each). Eivissa is the Catalan name for the city of Ibiza, a tourist attraction near the eastern coast of Spain. The island, known for its “vibrant nightlife and deep connection to nature”, currently hosts the Destination Defender Ibiza event, which is the only place where Land Rover fans can order the Eivissa specials.

The Defender 110 Eivissa Sunrise and Defender 90 Noontide Limited Editions represent the colors of the island at different times of the day. The Sunrise combines a yellow shade with gloss black accents, referencing the “magical yellow of sunrise”, visible after a lively night. Its alter-ego, the Noontide, is painted in a light blue shade with white accents. This combination is similar to the blue of the sky and the Mediterranean sea, in contrast with the white houses of the island. Land Rover didn’t mention any special features of the Limited Editions other than the livery and the Eivissa emblems. We also don’t know the engine and trim level of each Defender although their equipment appears to be quite generous.

 

According to the company, the six SUVs were created as “a tribute to the island’s rich history and cultural significance”. The number six has a connection with the ancient history of Ibiza. The original name of the island was “Iboshim”, given by Phoenicians to honor Bess – a god associated with protection, fertility, and domestic well-being, and also linked with the number six.

The Destination Defender Ibiza started on September 13 and will end on September 29. The event includes a number of activities for Land Rover enthusiasts, including on- and off-road drives to local attractions, hikings, coasteering, yoga and wellness, pool sessions, opening and closing parties, as well as various culinary experiences with local dishes.

Land Rover will be exhibiting two examples of the Eivissa limited edition at the event, alongside the V8-powered Defender OCTA.
