Among the most capable SUVs, some are luxurious and some are decidedly spartan. The Land Rover Defender stands firmly in the latter category, but that won't stop some tuners from sprucing it up.
Prindiville Design, based near Silverstone, recently unveiled its own take on the Lamborghini Aventador, and has now turned its attention to the Defender.
Teaming up with specialist Alive Tuning, output from the 2.4-liter turbodiesel has increased from 122 horsepower to 190 and from 265 lb-ft of torque to 339 for a 10-second sprint to 60. 18-inch five-spoke alloys and upgraded six-pot brakes are complemented by a selection of matte or metallic paint finishes, titanium exhaust, the usual assortment of trim enhancements, plus parking sensors and cameras fore and aft.
