More robust, more powerful, and more luxurious, the OCTA Defender is presented as the most extreme iteration of the adventurer.
The OCTA Defender will feature a twin-turbo V8 petrol hybrid engine (MHEV) and 6D Dynamics air suspension. This 6D Dynamics system is designed to give the OCTA unmatched range of performance and comfort, both on-road and off-road, thanks to an innovative pitch and roll control system. It allows the OCTA Defender to maintain a neutral, almost horizontal stance, with no nose-up attitude during acceleration or nose-diving during braking, no roll in tight corners, while preserving long travel and great independence of movement for each wheel during the most demanding crossings.
An Amazing Defender
The OCTA Defender is embarking on an intensive development program, with testing in snow and ice in Sweden, as well as sand and heat in Dubai. A quick run on the Nürburgring tarmac will gauge the beast’s performance before it faces the rocky tracks of Moab.
In anticipation of its full reveal later this year, potential clients are invited to exclusive previews as part of a new series of worldwide events: Defender Elements.
Guaranteed exclusivity, fewer than 100 OCTA Defenders will be available in France during the first year of production. The high-performance off-roader will be unveiled on July 3, 2024.
