Land Rover is reportedly developing a more powerful V-8 version of the Defender, possibly wearing an SVX badge, to compete with off-road SUVs like the Ford Bronco Raptor and Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392. The prototype for the Defender SVX has been spotted with a number of modifications, including widened wheel arches, raised suspension, mudflaps, BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, and a titanium exhaust with quad tips. It is not clear which engine is under the hood, but it is speculated that it may be a version of BMW's twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8. More information about the Defender SVX is expected to be revealed as development continues, and it is anticipated to arrive later this year as a 2024 model. Jaguar Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations division had previously considered launching a Discovery SVX, but the project was ultimately cancelled.
