Aktiemodelletje in Belgie: Landrover Defender X-Tech Limited Edition

Ook Landrover ontkomt er niet aan af en toe een aktiemodelletje uit te brengen om de verkopen op op peil te houden. Deze keer os de Defender als basis genomen en voorzien van een zwart dak, nieuwe wielen en een hip interieur. Hij is leverbaar in de kleur Silver (3 deurs) en Olive Green (5 deurs).

Land Rover Defender X-Tech Limited Edition

The Belgians may not be known as much for military prowess as, say, for beer or waffles – at least not since conquering the Congo, anyway – but Brussels is also the seat of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. NATO was established as a united front against the Communist bloc, and still stands as one of the most formidable alliances of nations this side of the Star Wars empire. A perfect place, then, to unveil a paramilitary-type vehicle like the X-Tech Limited Edition.

Easily as tough as any Hummer or Jeep, the X-Tech is based on the Land Rover Defender – one of the most rock-solid rock-crawlers ever devised. It's available in either silver, three-door Defender 90 form or in five-door Defender 110 long wheelbase in olive green, both offset by black roof, wheel arches, interior and new "saw-tooth" alloys. Not a major upgrade on the standard model, but just enough to give it the attitude it deserves.

Unveiled at the Brussels Motorshow, the Defender X-Tech is unfortunately unavailable in the North American market, but you can dream by checking out the gallery below.
