The 2023 Land Rover Defender 110 75th Limited Edition is drool-worthy.

As you can tell from the name, it’s a limited-edition version of the beloved bruiser designed to celebrate the Land Rover Defender’s 75th birthday.

The Defender entered life as the Series I in 1948, and now in 2022, the commemorative Defender wears a special green paint that’s not available on any other members in the Defender line-up.

The Limited Edition will be available on the two-door Defender 90 and four-door 110, both with a few upgrades, as part of the upcoming 2023 model year.

The colour is Grasmere Green, and it doesn’t just cover the body. It also extends to its wheels, as well as inside the vehicle to its dashboard and door panels:

Robb Report notes how much the Defender has given over the years:

Over that time—with a slight pause from 2016 to 2020—the boxy bruiser has featured four-wheel-drive and has helped set the standard for off-roaders all over the world. The latest version, the fifth-generation L663, has only further enhanced the ride’s reputation.

Besides the Grasmere Green and a ceremonial “75 Years” emblem on the rear tailgate, the SUV has been left untouched in all its boxy bruiser glory:

Here are the technical specs for all the petrolheads out there:

The US version of the variant packs a P400 Ingenium gas engine connected to an 8-speed automatic gearbox that sends power to all four wheels.

The mill features Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) technology and is capable of pumping out 395 hp and 406 ft lbs of torque.

Per Autoblog, a surround-view camera, Terrain Response technology, a Meridian sound system, a head-up display, a wireless device charger, and an 11,4-inch touchscreen for the Pivi Pro infotainment system are part of the package, as well as heated front seats and a folding fabric roof:

Stuart Frith, the Defender’s chief product engineer, reckons the new Limited Edition “captures the spirit of the past 75 years, with its colour and detailing, and fuses it with innovative new technology”.

The 90 and 110 models will start at $90 000 and $93 000, respectively, but the price of the 75th Limited Edition has not been announced.
