The Defender OCTA features a BMW-sourced 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with mild-hybrid technology, producing 635 PS (626 hp) and up to 750Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque with launch control engaged. It accelerates 0-100km/h (0-62 mph) in 4.0 seconds, making it the fastest Defender ever.

Despite its speed, the Defender OCTA maintains its off-road capabilities. It sits 28 mm (1.1 inches) higher and has a 68 mm (2.7-inch) wider stance than other models. It features longer and tougher wishbones, 6D Dynamics suspension technology, and a system that detects and optimizes for different driving surfaces. There’s also a new 'OCTA' driving mode with Off-Road Launch control and tweaked ABS for loose surfaces.

Inside, there are two new Ultrafabric options and standard Burnt Sienna semi-aniline leather with Kvadrat textile trim. It also includes new seats and an audio system designed to let front passengers "feel, as well as hear, the music."
