Khan, really?
It looks just like any other factory L663 to me. |

The picture is from Kahn’s Instagram and those wheels ain’t standard so I’m assuming it will eventually get the stuck on body kit stuff.
Here it is with different wheel design Click image to enlarge Must be their test mule |

I’m assuming it must be their prototype?

Does that look like a huge gap in the wheel arch over the tyre? |

Looks like it’s in extended mode. Either they are playing with the suspension settings or have had it jacked up and it’s entered the mode. Disco’s do it under certain circumstances. 110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE

Does make you wonder if this one vehicle, the New Defender, is the reason JLR bought Bowler? Aside from a warranty agreement, LR showed no real interest when Bowler basically specialised in the archaic Puma, (archaic in McGovern’s eyes), but now that they’ve released an all new Defender they need to give it some off-road/race cred and what better way to do it than through Bowler? Cheaper than setting up your own workshop/team. Think of it as the AMG/Motorsport arm to the Defender whilst the remainder of the LR Special Vehicles and SVR workshops can focus on pimping the RR family? I think we can say goodbye to any new, lairy V8 Bulldogs etc. Monsieur Le Grenadier I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list..... 2011 Puma 110DC - Corris Grey |

JLR are already testing 5.0V8 S/C in New Defender if the motoring press and spyshots are to be believed - maybe a lightweight Bowler racing series is coming......... Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

The 5.0 won't be used in the new Fender
Any V8 will be sourced from BMW |
