Rally Power Unleashed: 2027 Land Rover Defender Dakar Debuts

The 2027 Land Rover Defender Dakar transforms the rally-winning D7X-R into an aggressive, road-legal flagship SUV. Powered by a derestricted 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 delivering 626 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, it features motorsport-grade Bilstein dampers on coil springs, 35-inch all-terrain tires, and a dedicated Flight Mode for landing jumps. The purposeful 2+2 cockpit sports race bucket seats, optional four-point harnesses, and an onboard air compressor in the cargo bay.
