The Defender OCTA, the fastest and most powerful Defender model, will show intense performance at Dakar Rally at FIA World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC) starting in 2026!
The Defender, known for its rugged all-terrain performance, will use the Defender OCTA to compete in the toughest off-road races around the world. OCTA has 4.4L twin-turbo V8 engine and durable D7x body, which will withstand the rigors of Dakar and W2RC.
Magsisimula sa 2026, dalawang Defender na sasali sa Stock category ng W2RC at tatlong sasali sa Dakar Rally. Dahil sa mga bagong rules, magiging mas exciting at competitive ang Stock category, perfect para ipakita ang tibay at lakas ng Defender!
Ayon kay Mark Cameron, Operations Director ng Defender, “Ang Dakar Rally ay isang malaking challenge, pero ang Defender OCTA ay handang-handa na makipagsabayan!”
The team is excited and the tests and preparations for 2026 have started!
