Click the following link and my team and I will help you choose your ideal car at a fair price - from Mat Watson! https://bit.ly/Wow-Me-carwow ............................................................. Check out Electric Classic Cars: @ElectricClassicCars Check out AMT Auto London: https://bit.ly/AMT-Auto-0902 Check out Arkonik: https://bit.ly/Arkonik-0902 It’s time for an awesome 3-way Land Rover Defender drag race! We’ve got the custom-built Arkonik Land Rover Defender going up against a Tesla-powered classic Defender and the new V8-powered Defender! All three of these cars can perform, so let’s get to the stats! Starting with the Arkonik Defender, it’s had the old engine ripped out and it’s been replaced with a Corvette LS3! This 6.2-litre V8 means this 4x4 now puts down 436hp & 475Nm of torque! It also drives all four wheels and weighs in at around 1860kg. Next up we have the classic Defender. The engine’s been removed and replaced by a Tesla power unit, and as a result, it can put down 500hp & 675Nm! Those batteries are pretty heavy though, so it tips the scales at 1930kg. However, that’s nothing compared to the new Defender, which weighs in at 2471kg!! However, it’s also pretty powerful, with a 5-litre supercharged V8 under the bonnet that’ll produce 525hp & 625Nm! So… Custom, classic or new - who’s your money on? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE! .............................................................
