Tuned Land Rover Defender 110 Looks Like a 4×4 Predator

Numerous tuners have left their mark on the latest generation Land Rover Defender, so the aftermarket offering is vast. Be it a widebody conversion, specific add-ons, custom interiors, power boosts, wheels, and so on, everything is only a few mouse clicks or screen taps away on the World Wide Web.

If you like Mansory’s builds, you should know that this company also offers multiple components for the British 4×4. Half a year ago, we wrote about a modified Land Rover Defender 90, and now a Defender 110 has received a similar makeover, albeit adapted to the longer body.Mansory doesn’t call it a Black Edition anymore, even though it is black all around and looks virtually the same. It features fender flares for a more muscular stance, a few attachments at both ends and at the sides, extra lights in the front bumper and above the front windshield, a fresh hood, a sporty diffuser with a brake light in the middle, and a roof-mounted wing.

The tuner’s logo graces various exterior parts, including the new hood and rear spare wheel holder. It is also visible on the new wheels, which look odd on this model, as they would be a better fit for a Rolls-Royce. Rubber band tires (295/30) hug the new 10.24-inch alloys, and because of this and the lower ground clearance, it has lost its off-roading ability and is now part of the mall-crawling squad.

Since this is Mansory, you know that most add-ons have a carbon fiber look, and more of the lightweight material can be seen in the cockpit in the form of new trim decorating several components. This Defender 110 also has a few bronze accents, a couple of special badges, including the Black Edition (Hey, what do you know? It is a Black Edition, after all), black suede, orange piping, and a few other exclusive features.

We’ve already made one Rolls-Royce reference when we spoke about the new wheels, and we have to bring the British luxury brand into focus again, as this 4×4 has a starlight headliner. Although it is an interesting addition on certain rides, it looks kind of kitschy on an off-roader. But hey, it is what it is, right?

Even though the controversial tuner hasn’t said what engine powers this Land Rover Defender 110, it is likely the supercharged V8. In stock form, the 5.0L unit produces 518 hp (525 ps/386 kW) and 461 pound-foot (625 Nm) of torque. In this case, it is now good for 641 hp (650 ps/478 kW) and 642 lb-ft (870 Nm), improving the 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) by half a second to 4.7 seconds and increasing the top speed from 150 to 155 mph (240-250 kph).
