Upgraded Land Rover Defender 75th Limited Edition
Ngô Kỳ Phong, a renowned car enthusiast in Vietnam, has revealed that he has recently completed a major upgrade on his Land Rover Defender 75th Limited Edition. The enthusiast from Binh Duong province spent nearly 700 million VND and two months enhancing the off-road capabilities of his luxury SUV.
The Land Rover Defender 75th Limited Edition has been upgraded with essential equipment for off-roading.
The most expensive upgrade is the Warn winch, specifically designed for the Defender, costing 12,000 Euros (approximately 328 million VND). Other modifications include four Rigid lights (90 million VND), Diode Dynamics Ditch lights (15 million VND), a pat for the trunk and spare tire (20 million VND), two ROAM trunks (25 million VND), underbody armor (30 million VND), six tires (40 million VND), feature unlock (25 million VND), a ladder for the Land Rover side trunk (58 million VND), and 20 million VND for labor.
All accessories are genuine, imported from Land Rover UK.
Ngô Kỳ Phong shared that he started planning the upgrades for his Land Rover Defender after the Lunar New Year holiday in 2024. “All the accessories were ordered from Land Rover UK and shipped to Vietnam by air, resulting in high purchasing and shipping costs. For instance, the underbody armor is made of iron and has a significant weight, so the freight cost accounted for almost half the price,” the enthusiast from Binh Duong explained.
The owner of the Defender 75th Limited Edition also mentioned that another factor prolonging the modification process was the inability to order all the parts at once. Each accessory had to be installed and checked for compatibility before proceeding with the next one. After completing the upgrades, Ngô Kỳ Phong is preparing for a journey driving his Defender 75th Limited Edition from Vietnam to Europe.
