The new addition to the Land Rover Defender brand offers more choice for Defender clients, whilst providing customary off-road capability and superior comfort.

First Defender Plug-in Hybrid: Defender 110 P400e is the most fuel-efficient Defender yet with 3.4l/100km (NEDC Cycle), producing 297kW and 640Nm of torque, and capable of 0-100kmh in 5.6 seconds.

Mark Cameron, Managing Director, said: “Defender 130 Outbound is an incredibly desirable addition to the Defender family, for our most adventurous clients who love to get out and explore and need greater load carrying space with a five-seat configuration. Its unique design enhancements and spacious interior provide a compelling blend of capability and practicality.”

Defender 110 P400e Electric Hybrid (PHEV): all-electric driving

The new P400e Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) variant is key to the Defender’s latest enhancements and is available exclusively with the 110-body design. It delivers a blend of performance and economy while also being the most capable and durable electrified Land Rover.

With unrivalled capability and off-road geometry for a full-sized plug-in hybrid electric 4×4, the P400e is capable of being driven in low range purely in EV mode, bringing a new dimension to adventures in the wild.

With a combined 297kW and 640Nm of torque from its 221kW 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine and 105kW electric motor, the P400e is capable of accelerating from 0-100km/h in 5.6 seconds, with a maximum 209km/h top speed.

The balance of electric-only driving and petrol performance means the Defender 110 P400e can travel for up to 52km on EV power alone, with fuel economy as low as 3.4 litres/100km and the capability to tow up to 3,000kg.

The P400e is one of very few plug-in electric hybrid vehicles capable of rapid DC charging, with a 0-80 per cent charge possible in as little as 30 minutes away from home using a 50kW charger. At home, it can charge from 0-100 per cent using a 7kW AC charger in around two and a half hours.

Defender 110 P400e will be offered in X-Dynamic SE and X-Dynamic HSE trim levels and is available for order now.

911 (964) models 

First introduced to the world in 1964, the 911 has since solidified its place in automotive history as the most iconic sports car of all time with its revolutionary design and supreme performance engineering. The 964 generation was first brought to market in 1989 in Coupe, Targa and Cabriolet specifications. Today, Everrati’s interpretation of this timeless classic sees the car restored to the highest level and fitted with a state-of-the-art battery pack capable of emission-free driving.

Prices for each commission begin at £200,000 plus relevant taxes, based on a customer-supplied donor car.

Revealed in May 2021, Everrati’s ‘Signature’ wide body version of the 964 features carbon fibre bodywork elements and is able to achieve sub-4-second 0-60mph performance in conjunction with the optional Performance Pack. 500bhp and 550Nm are sent directly to the rear wheels for instantaneous performance, with almost identical weight distribution maintaining and enhancing the soul of the original.
