Video Description

In this episode, Iain takes on a unique project, preparing a customer's extraordinary Wildcat Defender 110 for sale. At first glance, it might seem like nothing more than heavily body-kitted Land Rover Defender 110, but this vehicle is far from a simple parts-catalogue creation. The Wildcat's transformation from a standard Defender 110 is nothing short of spectacular. The original Ford Duratorq 2.2-litre diesel engine has been replaced with a Chevrolet LS3 6.3-litre V8. But Wildcat didn't stop there; they supercharged the engine to produce over 600 brake horsepower. To handle this immense power, significant upgrades have been made to the brakes, transmission, suspension, and steering. As part of the preparation, Korrey replaces a leaking fuel pipe to ensure the car is mechanically sound, while Alex works on making the engine bay as visually impressive as it is powerful. But the question on everyone's mind is, how does it perform? Iain takes the Wildcat Defender on a thorough road test, sharing his insights on this incredible machine and letting us hear the thrilling roar of the V8. Join Iain as he dives into the meticulous preparation and exhilarating road test of this extraordinary Defender, blending immense power with eye-catching details.
