Defender Dakar Born in the desert Built for the road

August 14th, 2026 by

Born in the desert. Built for the road.

Defender Dakar is the road-legal evolution of Defender D7X-R that won the 2026 Dakar Rally on its debut.
Retaining the same body architecture, transmission, driveline and 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine as the victorious race car, Defender Dakar brings Dakar Rally-winning capability to the road.
It features an unrestricted 635PS Twin-Turbo V8, a 35-inch tyre package for maximum traction and the revolutionary Flight Mode for smooth landings across extreme terrain.
Finished in signature Dakar Sand with a Yanbu Turquoise roof inspired by the race-winning D7X-R livery.
Limited to fewer than 500 units globally. Available to reserve from early 2027.
Revealed at The Quail by The Peninsula, one of the signature events of Monterey Car Week.
