You have the choice of going for a 214 horsepower engine with 280 lb-ft torque or settle for settle for the Defender that offers 320 horsepower and an astounding 339 lb-ft of torque. The feature that is sure to capture your attention is its start time, however. This electric Land Rover is capable of launching within 0-60 seconds flat and is definitely impressive.
Twisted promises an equally impressive range of 200+ miles but the specs are yet to be shared. The 60k-Wh battery seems to be a trifle small though. However, you need to remember that the original Land River defender was never indented to be fitted with an electric battery.
It is time to spare a look for its interior now! Well, it is a seven seater with space for three people in the front and four more sitting face to face in the back. Yes! It has basic air-conditioning along with an EV screen that can be controlled by touch.
