GRRL! SUMMARY:
- SARA PRICE appeared at The Quail during Monterey Car Week alongside the battle-worn D7X R she drove to victory at the 2026 Dakar Rally and the new road-legal Defender Dakar it inspired.
- The limited-run Defender Dakar transfers race technology directly to the street, keeping the D7X R’s body architecture, driveline, twin-turbo V8, and competition-derived Flight Mode suspension system for extreme terrain.
- Road version delivers 635PS and 750Nm through the same 4.4-litre V8, adding wider track, rally suspension, 35-inch tyres, carbon fibre components, and functional race elements like helmet storage and harness mounts.
UPCOMING:

- Early 2027 – Defender Dakar reservations open
