Octawhatnow? Well, (vaguely speaking) the name is to do with the octahedral shape a natural diamond would commonly arrange itself into. Except they’re not common, of course, and they’re exceptionally hard - so you can see why Land Rover likes the idea. Even if it does take some explaining. “The Defender OCTA name and signature graphic are representative of the vehicle’s strength, resilience and desirability – inspired by the vehicle’s diamond-like tough luxury credentials,” says Mark Cameron, the Managing Director of Defender.

This is brilliant marketing.

Double the price of the old SV products, with negligible upgrade. And limited to 1070 cars to the UK market, which is a lot!

Good on JLR for milking their client base.

Limited to 1070 you say. Should keep the warranty claims down. Not for me.
