The Land Rover Defender (initially introduced as the Land Rover One Ten, and in 1984 joined by the Land Rover Ninety, plus the new, extra-length Land Rover One Two Seven in 1985) is a series of British off-road cars and pickup trucks. They consistently have four-wheel drive, and were developed in the 1980s from the original Land Rover series which was launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show in April 1948.

That explains why I am not drooling over it but couldn’t put my finger on why. The design is a bit Mi6 or bullet proof Defender for the prime minister. It lacks swag and doesn’t shout “top of the line version”.It’s very…”Don’t mention the War!”

I feel the opposite. It's a tough and "up-for-it" rugged look that lends a much more convincing off road-capable image to the Defender.
Pity though, that the Octa version is seemingly only available with the BMW (I'm supposing) TT V8 and not an inline six diesel which would work better in real world overlanding.

The body kit and rugged tyres would suit a inline 6 model that is not priced like a DBX707 or G63.

It's a name at least, instead of some random letters.
That's like asking for a diesel engine in an M5.
Anyways, it's spectacular and I love it. But for the Octa, it's a pity the G63 exists. G63 is too special and good to be touched.

Production is limited to 1070. I think JRL will create other variants of this car with different body kits and interior upholstery.

No it's not nearly the same.
