With 635PS, Dakar-inspired engineering and a £147,000 price tag, the Defender OCTA is built for extremes – but does any of that make sense on urban streets?What is the Land Rover Defender OCTA and why is it gaining so much traction?Land Rover has a reputation for totally blinging out some of its models and often invites celebrities to add their artistic flair and influence with the likes of Victoria Beckham, Bear Grylls and Anthony Joshua all putting their personal stamp on vehicles in the past.And now we get the Land Rover Defender OCTA, a model that brings pace and performance to the off-road environment.At launch, there was a pricier OCTA Edition One, costing £160,000 but the limited numbers were snapped up in record time.
