Exterior Styling and Colors
As the name suggests, the primary selling point of the Pacific Blue Edition is the metallic Pacific blue finish that only this model comes with. This radiant hue, which is almost electric in its intensity, perfectly imitates the pleasant seas and shores of Australia. The special edition of the Land Rover Defender boasts a Pacific Blue body, and it comes with a Santorini Black roof for contrast.
The only major changes made are to the body structure, while the exterior aesthetics are as close as possible to the standard Defender 110. Its rarity is another thing that makes it very conspicuous, since very few of them are allowed on the road.
Interior Details
The inside of the cabin also provides the Pacific Blue themes with the best kind of branding message possible. That is why the seats are covered with Cloud Blue Windsor leather, and the dashboard and door panels have contrast stitching in Pacific Blue. All 15 special edition Defenders will also have a number plaque on the dashboard to show that they are special edition of the car.
Aside from these special details, the interior remains loyal to the standard Land Rover Defender models, efficiency and functionality coming first. This means owners can enjoy the Pacific Blue’s style as it is without having to take time to adjust it to be more useful in day-to-day use.
Performance and Capability
The bonnet of this beast comes in a bright blue colour, and there, under it, you will find a 3.0-litre inline-6 turbocharged petrol engine that is capable of producing 297kW and an impressive 550Nm of torque. This enables the Land Rover Defender Pacific Blue Edition to sprint from standstill to a hundred kilometers per hour in 6.1 seconds, which is impressive for a car of this size and type.
To further enhance the off-road character of the car, the vehicle comes equipped with a permanent All-Wheel-Drive system, a two-speed transfer box and an automatic locking rear differential. Defender offers a great ground clearance along with excellent approach, departure and breakover angles, which make the owners of this car very comfortable while driving in the rugged terrains of Australia. To sum up, the special edition remained virtually unimpaired in terms of go-anywhere attributes of the Defender.
