New Delhi: Land Rover India have priced the Defender 110 Trophy Edition SUV at Rs 1.30 crore. The special edition off-roader comes with quite a few cosmetic upgrades, exclusive off-road accessories and gets just a diesel automatic powertrain in the ‘110’ body variant.
The Trophy Edition or the ‘Camel Trophy’ is an off-road vehicle-oriented competition that started in 1980 and was held annually until 2000. The event took its name from the Camel cigarette brand, which was their main sponsor and was also called the “Olympics of 4/4”. The Land Rover Defender Trophy Edition was launched in June of this year and coincides with the new global Defender Trophy competition that supports the conservation partner Tusk in Africa.
The Defender 110 Trophy Edition comes with a 3.0-litre, inline-six, twin-turbocharged diesel engine that makes 350 bhp and torque of 700 Nm. The engine is mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission and comes standard with four-wheel drive. Land Rover has said that it can do 0-100 kph in 6.4 seconds and has a top speed of 191 kph.
The Land Rover Defender 110 Trophy Edition comes with two new exclusive paint jobs, which are Deep Sandglow Yellow and Keswick Green. Further, it gets a contrasting black finish for the roof, bonnet, front and rear scuff plates, wheel arches and side body cladding. It also comes with Trophy edition decals on the bonnet and C-pillar.
The Defender 110 Trophy Edition comes with 20-inch gloss black rims with the option to choose all-season or all-terrain tyres. Optional off-road accessories include a heavy-duty roof rack, a black deployable side ladder, side panniers for additional storage, and a snorkel as all finished in black. Customers have the option to avail it with matte protective film in both colours of the Defender 110 Trophy.
On the inside, the Defender 110 gets new Ebony Windsor leather seat upholstery and LED sill plates with Trophy branding. The exposed crossbeam on the Defender’s dashboard is finished in the exterior paint shade of choice, filled with laser-etched endcaps with Trophy branding.
Back in 1980, the “Camel Trophy” competition took place with three German teams that were exploring the Amazon Basin through Jeep SUVs. However, from there, the Land Rover became the brand of choice for the organisers in order to provide support cars for events in the future.
The entirety of the Land Rover range, which then included the Range Rover, Land Rover Series III, Land Rover 90, Land Rover 110, Land Rover Defender, Land Rover Discovery and Freelander, were used in the competition. All came with a unique ‘Sandlow’ colour scheme from which the current edition takes inspiration.
