Those of you who watch the excellent Youtube series "CinemaSins" will know that there is only one way to spot a group of incoming bad guys. Black SUVs, all tailgating. No SUV I've ever seen looks more the part than this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Wheels, roof rack, lights, and blackness from which no soul can escape, this Rover checks all the boxes. Any self-respecting Bond baddie wishing to conquer the world from a hideout in the jungle needs a subterranean garage full of these. And keep in mind, it's a Defender, so even with all these flashy trinkets, it will still get you where you need to go, no matter where that is. This particular Defender has not, as far as I can work out, been tuned to 500hp by some Anglo-German tuning company, so assume that performance is still typical Defender. Fortunately, because this is 'Murica, it's merely a slow V8, and not painfully slow diesel. Unfortunately, it is a Rover V8, and those are not known for their longevity. Also, if you're serious about off-roading, a torquey little diesel with a manual may be what you want. And of course, because we are in the States, this is not a cheap vehicle. This particular example will set you back $170,000. It is, however, impossibly cool, and personally, it's hard to put a price on something that appeal so deeply to my inner nine year old. Also, $170,000 is a small price to pay for what is a major first step towards world domination.

CP, all goddamn day. Nice truck and all and nice execution, but waaaaay too much coin for an 87

Eh, I like my Defenders dirty, dented and less than £4000 on AutoTrader. CP.

Looks at heavily modded Defender = internal monologue, "this is awesome."
Scrolls and sees price tag =
