Built to honor Land Rover’s long-standing connection with the James Bond franchise, the Defender 110 V8 Bond Edition is equipped with a 5.0-liter supercharged V-8 producing 518 horsepower. It rockets from 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds and boasts a top speed of 149 mph, making it the most powerful Defender ever produced. While the Defender’s rugged off-road prowess was showcased in No Time to Die, this model wasn’t used on-screen but serves as a tribute to the film’s intense chase sequences featuring airborne Defenders in pursuit of 007.

The Bond Edition stands out with subtle yet stylish nods to the spy franchise. Inside, it features “Defender 007” treadplates, an all-black interior, and a custom infotainment start-up screen honoring Land Rover’s Bond legacy. Exterior details include exclusive 007 graphic puddle lights, adding an extra touch of intrigue.

With only 384 miles on the odometer, this ultra-low-mileage Defender is expected to fetch up to £155,000 (approximately $196,000) at auction—significantly more than its original starting price of $114,600. Its rarity, combined with the allure of its James Bond connection, makes it a highly sought-after collector’s item.

For enthusiasts and collectors alike, this Defender offers a rare opportunity to own a vehicle fit for both off-road adventures and the world of international espionage.
