This pick-up, with its 2-inch lift kit and 18-inch rims is nothing short of a beast. The supercharged V8 that we took out of it, admittedly made a lovely noise – but although it was loud, that noise didn’t seem to correspond into speed! The high spec Defender electrification that we’ve given this car complements its various other cosmetic and mechanical upgrades – and those installed by renowned Defender rebuilders, Twisted.
