Octa Pictures

One of our cars was in JLR for a service so I looked at this.

I liked it looks proper chunky, the wider arches with a small lip look great.

I assume there will be a Octa 'Kit' out soon for owner to make a look a like.

While the mega engine would be nice the fuel stops probably less so

The styling is very subtle, one of those cars that you have to be in the know to recognise its importance over lesser Defender models.

About as subtle as a housebrick through your bedroom window

Not much more different than what’s available now. Plus you can order all these parts if you want that look. 23 LBW/Urban Defender X

Had a look at one whilst I was at the dealers yesterday, for £152k it was a bit underwhelming visually, I’m sure it’s fantastic to drive but £152k, personally I don’t see what I’d be getting for my money.

Curious to know the price of buying and retrofitting those exterior parts onto regular Defenders to replicate the Octa’s look exactly.

The usual practice is for the manufacturer to make those parts very expensive, and sometimes even require proof of a matched VIN to allow you to order them. They have to try and protect the inflated value after all, can’t have people spending that sort of money on a special edition and then some common folk with a base model create a lookalike for a few quid.

The good news is that the aftermarket will I am sure soon provide an array of replicas bolt-on tat for those so inclined.
