It’s time for an awesome 3-way Land Rover Defender drag race!
We’ve got the custom-built Arkonik Land Rover Defender going up against a Tesla-powered classic Defender and the new V8-powered Defender!
All three of these cars can perform, so let’s get to the stats! Starting with the Arkonik Defender, it’s had the old engine ripped out and it’s been replaced with a Corvette LS3! This 6.2-litre V8 means this 4x4 now puts down 436hp & 475Nm of torque! It also drives all four wheels and weighs in at around 1860kg.
Next up we have the classic Defender. The engine’s been removed and replaced by a Tesla power unit, and as a result, it can put down 500hp & 675Nm! Those batteries are pretty heavy though, so it tips the scales at 1930kg.
However, that’s nothing compared to the new Defender, which weighs in at 2471kg!! However, it’s also pretty powerful, with a 5-litre supercharged V8 under the bonnet that’ll produce 525hp & 625Nm!
So… Custom, classic or new - who’s your money on? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Fantastic race! Really demonstrates the big differences between an EV powertrain vs an ICE one. The direct drive EVs struggle with top end but have monstrous torque at low speeds. That supercharged V8 5.0 in the new Defender is an absolutely beast - you can see when it gets into the powerband and just reins in the other cars. Richard was fantastic good sport for racing!!

Good mix of cars and tech, and great mix of characters between the three: Richard and his awesome enthusiastic attitude literally had me with a huge smile on my face chuckling, Mat being Mat who is naturally entertaining and mild mannered Sam who deserves more time to chime in. If this was the new Top Gear crew I'd watch every episode. I watched this with my roommate and even she got into it and couldn't stop watching. 😄 Add Yianni to this mix and you've got the perfect hit-every-note car entertainment channel formula!
