The Lego version was modeled on the new Land Rover unveiled at a car showroom last year. On the front of the box, you can see the Land Rover Defender model itself, which I think looks great in this olive green color, as well as the landscapes of forests and mountains, which indicate that we are talking about an SUV. The back of the box shows the toy mechanisms illustrated with pictures. The model has 2573 pieces, it is 42.8 cm long and 22.7 cm high, so it is clearly not a small set, but this is already reflected by the size of the box itself.
The Land Rover Defender is a well-known SUV. From 1948, when the first model came out, it was the benchmark for heavy-duty and practical SUVs. The Rover company’s first "classic" SUV is one of the best known SUVs in the world. The Rover Company, later acquired by BMW, and in 2008 by the Indian Tata Group, initially manufactured the model inspired by the Jeep SUV used by the U.S. Army. After Rover later began manufacturing several other SUVs after the Land Rover, the name Defender was added to the car’s name. It’s likely that this version is the top version called Defender x (since it is a 6 cylinder model) which means it’s a three-liter in-line petrol engine that’s got a 48V mild hybrid system.
Assembling this set of Lego is no small task and takes about 8 to 10 hours. It has many features, perhaps one of the most important is a winch at the front of the car that can’t just be pulled out by hand; if you open up the hood, you will find a lever and you have to turn this lever to be able to use the winch. The winch is strong enough to pull even larger objects. It can be steered with an extra steering wheel at the top, which is a very lavish solution so you don’t have to reach into the driver’s cab. If the spare wheel at the rear is turned counterclockwise, the trunk opens.
The exterior is great, extremely detailed everywhere, the front of the car with rounded headlights and the hood looks extremely good. There are also two storage boxes and a folding ladder on top of the car. A massive Technik kit with lots and lots of details and functions is also available if you want to enjoy the pleasure of building too, it can be a good choice, just assembling the transmission system takes 1 to 2 hours.
