Land Rover’s original Defender returning as a rally-bred, 575-hp super SUV

Like the Lada Niva, one of the oldest cars sold new around the world, the original Land Rover Defender refuses to die. It retired in 2016, it unexpectedly made a brief comeback in 2018 with a V8 under the hood, and the British firm announced it gave in-house tuner Bowler permission to bring it back as a high-performance, rally-bed SUV.
