At the picturesque Aamby Valley Airstrip, a 7567 sq-ft structure was built, offering a curated culinary experience, bespoke cocktails, rejuvenating foot massages, and an adrenaline-pumping test drive of the unstoppable Defender OCTA, making for an unforgettable evening.
Unparalleled Performance
Powered by a 4.4 l Twin Turbo mild-hybrid V8 engine, the OCTA model is the most extreme and most powerful Defender ever, with 467 kW and up to 750 Nm of torque enabling 0-100 km/h in 4.0 s.
OCTA Mode – First Performance-Focused Off-Road Setting
Introducing for the first time- OCTA Mode, a specially developed performance-focused off-road setting that enhances traction, braking, and acceleration on loose surfaces. Activated via the signature logo button on the steering wheel, OCTA Mode optimizes vehicle settings for extreme off-road driving, ensuring optimal performance in challenging conditions. Complementing this are dedicated anti-lock braking and an Off-Road Launch mode, making it the most capable Defender ever.
Unmatched Capability
Introducing 6D Dynamics, the most sophisticated suspension system ever fitted to a Defender, OCTA offers next-level stability on any terrain. The hydraulically interlinked, continuously variable semi-active dampers minimize pitch and roll, ensuring exceptional agility on-road and maximum articulation off-road. A widened stance (by 68 mm) and a raised ride height (by 28 mm) further enhance its all-terrain prowess, offering superior clearance and confidence over extreme landscapes.
Rugged yet Luxurious Design
Defender OCTA’s bold presence is defined by a commanding stance, extended wheel arches, and redesigned bumpers that improve approach and departure angles. Underbody protection, including an aluminum alloy front under shield, ensures durability across rugged terrains. This model also features the largest tyres ever fitted to a Defender—83.82 cm (33-inch) diameter, delivering superior traction and control.
Exclusivity defines the New Defender OCTA Edition One, which debuts in Faroe Green with Khaki and Ebony Ultrafabrics™ PU interior. Chopped Carbon Fibre detailing adds a sophisticated edge, whilst the 20-inch forged alloy wheels paired with all-terrain tyres complete the high-performance package.
Next-Generation Interior & Immersive Experience
Inside, the all-new Performance Seats with Body and Soul Seat technology elevate the driving experience. Developed with SUBPAC and Coventry University, this innovative feature allows occupants to feel the music for a fully immersive journey. The cabin offers new material options, including durable Ultrafabrics™ PU and Kvadrat™ textile trims, alongside the premium Burnt Sienna semi-aniline leather option.
New Defender OCTA is a new hero for the original British adventure brand. The toughest, most capable and most luxurious model in the unstoppable 4×4 family takes the capability of Defender to an unparalleled level.
