Land Rover Defender 90 Yachting Edition by Startech

If you're looking to set out on an expedition by sea, you'll need the right kind of yacht. By land, the Land Rover Defender 90 is the tool of choice. Now German tuner Startech has brought the two that much closer with the Defender 90 Yachting Edition. The sailing theme has been carried out on the otherwise spartan sport-ute with such unique touches as white paint, illuminated running boards and an interior decked out in teak wood trim, offset by navy blue leather and Alcantara trim.

Custom Land Rover Defender by Aznom and Romeo Ferraris

Remember the old days when a truck was a truck, and was completely devoid of luxury amenities? Those are the days that gave us the original sport-utility vehicles, like the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen, the Toyota Land Cruiser, and this, the Land Rover Defender. The Merc G has since gone dramatically upscale, the Land Cruiser has been transformed into the Lexus LX, but the Land Rover Defender is still the bare-bones workhorse it always was. That is, until Aznom came along and changed all that.

The Italian coachbuilder known for its innovative Mini conversions took the Defender and tricked it out with all manner of custom touches, from the carbon-fiber bumpers to the light brown leather and Alcantara interior. Tuning house Romeo Ferraris was brought in to squeeze some extra juice out of the 2.4-liter turbo-diesel inline-four engine, bringing output up from 122 horsepower to 152. And of course the requisite custom paint job is all part of the package. Have a closer look in the gallery below.

Land Rover Unveils Special Fire & Ice Edition Defenders

Those looking for a hard-core, bare-bones off-roader have always had the Land Rover Defender to turn to. The same basic design has been hand-assembled at Land Rover's factory in the UK for over sixty years, equipped with only the features needed to make it across the Sahara or over the next mountain. But with the Fire & Ice editions, Land Rover has given the Defender all the luxury touches customers have come to expect from their SUVs. The interior is wrapped in leather and Alcantara suede, the seats have been replaced by Recaro buckets, there's a glass sunroof, alloy wheels, body-colored headlamp housings and more. The Fire edition features a special Vesuvius Orange metallic paint, the Ice edition in Alaska white, both of which are contrasted by Santorini black hoods, roofs and other accents. Only 850 examples will be produced at €68,400 ($95,000) and distributed across Europe, China and South Africa.
