Ares Land Rover Defender

Based in Modena, Italy, the historical home of sports car excellence, Ares Design is a modern coach builder founded in 2014 by Dany Bahar, the former boss of Lotus. The company has now taken on its biggest and most controversial task yet – pimping out the Land Rover Defender. With a body composed of premium quality carbon fiber, fitted with heavy duty front and rear bumpers, a 475 HP V8 engine, Fox high pressure shock absorbers, a bespoke exhaust manifold, an ITG air intake, a six-speed tiptronic auto transmission, full LED lights, upgraded brakes, 18-inch alloys and 305/70 R18 Cooper tires, this is the Defender of all Defenders. You better hurry though, Ares has said that they will only make 53 of them.
