All black, all attitude

The Defender Octa Black takes the already imposing Octa and dials up the drama. Finished in Narvik Black (the deepest hue in the Defender palette), this version features as many as 30 exterior elements treated in either Gloss or Satin Black. 

Highlights include quad exhaust tips, front and rear scuff plates in Satin Black powder coat and Shadow Atlas script detailing. For those wanting to go even stealthier, an optional Matte Protective Film is on offer

Buyers can choose between 20-inch forged wheels or 22-inch Gloss Black alloys, both with black centre caps. 

Even the brake callipers get the blackout treatment, sporting Gloss Black with contrasting Sentient Silver script.
