Land Rover Just Unveiled Its Dakar Rally Defender

Land Rover is going racing at the Dakar Rally in January, and it just unveiled the Defender it’s using to do it.

The Land Rover Defender Dakar D7X-R began testing earlier this year in the Sahara Desert in preparation for Dakar , which will take place in Saudi Arabia, as it has since 2020. This is good marketing for Land Rover, especially for the Defender Octa , but also a fun project for the company’s employees. Dakar is one of the toughest races on earth, and, as such, is as good a showcase as any for the Defender’s abilities.
