In an exciting development for Australian auto enthusiasts, the 2024 Land Rover Defender OCTA is set to make its local debut at the upcoming SXSW Sydney event. Following its global unveiling at the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed, this high-performance variant is poised to captivate attendees with its impressive features.
The Defender OCTA, powered by a potent twin-turbo V8 engine, promises a thrilling driving experience with its robust performance capabilities. Priced at around $300,000 in Australia, this model represents the pinnacle of Land Rover’s engineering prowess, boasting a formidable 467kW and 750Nm of torque.
One of the standout features of the Defender OCTA is its innovative 6D Dynamics hydraulic suspension system, designed to deliver a harmonious blend of on-road comfort and off-road agility. This cutting-edge technology, reminiscent of luxury SUVs like the Porsche Cayenne, elevates the Defender’s handling to new heights.
Equipped with a performance-oriented off-road mode and advanced Terrain Response functionality, the OCTA is primed to tackle diverse landscapes with confidence. Its larger dimensions, upgraded braking system, and 33-inch all-terrain tires underscore its off-road prowess, setting a new standard for production Defenders.
Attendees at SXSW Sydney will have the exclusive opportunity to explore the Defender OCTA up close at the Defender House, where immersive experiences and informative panel discussions will showcase the vehicle’s capabilities. Additionally, test drives will be available at Tumbalong Park, allowing guests to experience the Defender’s performance firsthand.
Penny Ferguson, Managing Director of JLR Australia, expressed enthusiasm about unveiling the Defender OCTA at SXSW Sydney, emphasizing its versatility and appeal to urban adventurers seeking extraordinary experiences. The event promises to be a celebration of innovation and automotive excellence, aligning with Land Rover’s commitment to pushing boundaries.
With its formidable powertrain, advanced technologies, and distinctive design, the 2024 Land Rover Defender OCTA represents a new chapter in the iconic Defender’s legacy. As it prepares to make its mark on the Australian market, this high-performance variant is poised to redefine the boundaries of off-road excellence and luxury.
