Osprey Custom 4x4 Overhauls Land Rover Defender With Corvette V8 Engine

Osprey Custom 4×4 has recently transformed the renowed Land Rover Defender, presenting it as the ideal overlanding vehicle with a hefty price tag of $229,950. 

This extensively modified Defender boasts a significant upgrade—a 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated LS3 V8 sourced from a Corvette replaces the original engine.

Land Rover Defender

The combination of a classic Defender and a Corvette engine adds an exciting touch to the vehicle. Paired with the V8 is a 6180e automatic transmission and a robust transfer case, enabling power distribution to all four wheels. The builder also includes a new performance exhaust. And how not to mention the striking body panels coated in a unique Keswick Green shade?

Land Rover Defender

Additional enhancements include upgraded aluminum front wheels, front and rear LED lights, stainless steel oil cooler lines, improved electric fans, heavy-duty axles, stainless brake lines, stainless fuel lines, and more. The inclusion of a sizable rooftop tent and a portable ladder further strengthens the overlanding credentials.

Land Rover Defender

Interior upgrades are equally noteworthy, featuring a new 10-speaker audio system, a double-din multimedia system equipped with Apple CarPlay, and a reversing camera. What's more, the Land Rover Defender now boasts keyless entry, various charging points, retrimmed brown leather seats, and door panels adorned with unique stitching—an appealing touch for potential buyers.
