This Land Rover Defender 90 was built by Arkonik in the UK. In the engine bay is a 6.2 L LT1 V8 producing 495 hp (364 kW) and 500 lb-ft (677 Nm) of torque paired with a 10L90 10-speed automatic transmission. The Defender rides on Arkonik’s SVO Performance suspension using Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs. They replaced the factory brakes with Wilwood six-piston front brakes and four-piston rear brakes. Those are covered by a Evo Corse DakarZero 18-inch wheels with BFGoodrich All Terrain TA K02 tires. Inside the cabin Arkonik installed a Recaro Cross Sportster CS seats, Momo Mod.08 14-inch steering wheel, and Dakota Digital gauges. Leather covers the seats, door panels, and headliner.
