Mmm new defender SVX 4.0L twin turbo V8 Hybrid

So, does it come with the optional drag-chute....!

Any guesses on starting price?? If it does materialise, I am putting it at north of 200K

Based on the price for the X ($137k plus on-roads) and that has a "small" 3 litre engine, I think it would be safe to guess $180-200, yea

Who knows 150k would be reasonable, but maybe 175k

Gwagon V8 is like 300k so who knows

I would agree with that.
The Defender V8 70th Anniversary Edition were all pre sold, and they don't come up very often S/H, but I've just seen a S/H unit advertised in the U.K. for two hundred thousand POUNDS!! (But still my favorite Defender)
IMHO, when these "special interest", "limited edition" vehicles get into these stratospheric price ranges, price is simply just not a consideration, the buyers in this range just want one, so they just buy one.

Hopefully LR keep the SVX reasonable for the Defender. SVR fpace is 180 from memory. Driven it, its incredible.

I wouldn't be using the F-Pace as a benchmark of what the possible Defender SVX might cost. I think the RR Sport SVR with a $250K starting price is a better pointer. Anything that comes out of SVO is bespoke so IMHO there will be no "keeping it reasonable". That division is about exclusivity and price is what keeps things exclusive. Though, we can live in hope BR.
