Default Bowler defender

If you guys want a fast defender look what land rover are building along side Bowler for around the same price of a Range Rover Sport
The top spec defender will do 0 to 60 in 4.8 seconds.
It takes them three weeks alone just to weld the chassis together. When it was tested they dropped it from 40feet on to the desert and no damage was done. They put a ten-ton weight on the roof and nothing happened this truck is virtually in destructive.

And you guys can have it sent to the USA

This was posted a while back but it is always good to revisit it. I downloaded it (along with about 20 other LR videos) to my laptop and watch it several times a week while patiently waiting to win the lottery.

Check out the performance table for the 5.0. A Bowler Wildcat with the 5 litre V8 will out accelerate Lamborghini Diablo!

That would be sooo funny in traffic light drag race!

These things are mental!

A few pics of them in action!

A re-worked Td5 diesel version, even these are pretty fast!:



Then the obvious choice, the V8!:









Enjoy the pics!
