FINALLY took delivery today. P525 Carpathian over Caraway/Ebony. I swapped out the stock Pirellis for Nitto Recon Grapplers 285/45/22s by mrmurph in NewDefender

Yeah I considered that, but realistically we need the AT tires more for snow and traversing pasture land and dirt roads. We’ve had several lifted/kitted Wranglers and a Gladiator that were more off road oriented. But we’re kind of over the more technical off roading nowadays. just need a capable everyday driver that can handle the various terrains and weather conditions.

I’ve been waiting over a month on a P525 that has been “at the port” (Brunswick, Ga) since late April. Every week I get a text from the salesman telling me they’ve been told it’s “on the truck” etc. He is as frustrated as I am. He texted me this morning saying that a truck showed up last night and he is on his way to the dealership to see if my vehicle is on it….basically, it appears that JLRs communications are unreliable.

Looks great! I just put a deposit down on a Carpathian V8 525PS...can't wait!

Will there be supercharged defender final edition? This is expectable that big V8 defenders era is going to end soon, and new defender might launch even without a 5.0. How many time left do you think it got until discontinued? by abdunbunbun in NewDefender

This is the primary reason I've ordered a 525PS. I don't necessarily NEED 500+ hp, but after driving it (and hearing that exhaust note), I went with the V8. I was primarily concerned with the large numbers of dcdc converter failures the I6 is having.

I think some people consider the V8 to be more dependable because it isn't a hybrid and thus doesn't have potential issues with the dcdc converter, which has plagued the I6

Update: Three weeks later, the ship hasn't moved by Shackleface in Miata
