Coming this summer to 16 markets around the globe, but not the U.S., will be a limited run of Fire and Ice models of the Land Rover Defender. The new, limited-edition models will be available in either the 90 or 110 Station Wagon body styles and will feature "diamond-turned" five-spoke alloy wheels, black running boards, LED taillights with clear lenses, and unique front lights.
Invoking its namesake's fiery composition, the Fire model combines a blazing Vesuvius Metallic Orange with a Santorini Metallic Black roof, hood, front grille, and wheel arches. The Ice model blends an Alaska White with the same Santorini Metallic Black body panels for a cooler contrast.
On the inside, the Defender cabins feature center switch panels that are color-matched to the exterior paint. Contrast stitching on the steering wheel, seats, center storage compartment, and floormats add a unique feel to the interior. Attractive seats combine black leather borders with gray Alcantara center panels and headrests with an embossed Land Rover logo.
Even though the Fire and Ice models are of a limited nature, customization does not take a back seat. Available optional accessories for the Defender Fire and Ice will include an A-frame protection bar, a raised air intake, ribbed aluminium skidplates, aluminum wing top protectors, black checker plate protection, a luggage rack, and a roof sports bar system.
The Fire and Ice editions of the Land Rover Defender will be available in Austria, Belgium, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, and the Ukraine. Pricing for the limited-edition Defenders start at $95,000, and deliveries are scheduled to begin later in the summer.
