Land Rover Defender Ultimate RS Powerkit by Urban Truck (500 hp)

Urban Truck, a British aftermarket specialist, revealed recently a new powerkit and styling program for the Land Rover Defender, which is called the Ultimate RS. Urban Truck's Land Rover Defender Ultimate RS comes with a GM 6.2-liter LS3 V8 small block engine that develops between 430 hp and 500 hp. Its torque output is rated at 540 Nm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain comes with countless performance modifications, including quad core cooling, and a bespoke sport exhaust system. Urban Truck's body kit for the Defender Ultimate RS includes front and rear bumpers, side skirts, a new grille, and other various carbon fiber parts. The Urban Truck Land Rover Defender Ultimate RS comes with a Nappa leather interior, a state-of-the-art Alpine multimedia and sound system, and a custom steering wheel.

Urban Truck also improved the Defender's suspension, brakes, steering and protection. Unfortunately, the tuner did not disclose the performance figures (0- 60 mph / 0-100 km/h acceleration, top speed) of their Defender Ultimate RS. The price of the program was not disclosed either.
