Earlier this year, Ares Design a new coachbuilding company headed up by former Lotus boss Dany Bahar announced a brand new 18,000 square foot factory. In it, they will build all sorts of things, including this modified Land Rover Defender. The company has confirmed that just 53 of these special Defenders will be built, with prices starting from 215,000 each. For that, you get a suite of upgrades, and we shall start with the motive force. There"s a Land Rover V8 underneath, bored out from 4.5 to to 4.7-litres and features new cams, gas-flowed heads, larger injectors and a bespoke exhaust manifold. There are sports cats and a bypass valve for a "suitably tuneful V8 soundtrack".
