The automotive world is abuzz as the highly anticipated New Defender OCTA gears up for its global dynamic debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, taking place from July 11-14. This high-performance all-terrain marvel, powered by a V8 Twin Turbo engine, is set to conquer the famous hillclimb on the Duke of Richmond’s West Sussex estate, marking it as the fastest Defender to tackle the iconic 1.16-mile course.
Unleashing Power and Precision
The Defender OCTA will showcase its extreme all-terrain capabilities just one week after its global reveal on July 3. Festival-goers will witness firsthand the vehicle's exceptional performance, including its superior body control enabled by the innovative 6D Dynamics suspension technology. This debut promises to be a highlight of the festival, capturing the essence of the Defender's rugged yet refined character.
