Today, Land Rover announced a limited run of 220 Trophy Edition Defenders to be sold exclusively in the U.S. And along with their new Defender, owners will receive an exclusive invite to the Land Rover U.S. Trophy Competition. The event will be held at Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, on October 11, 2021.
Trophy Edition Buyers Invited to Off-Road Competition
This one-day, off-road adventure will showcase 90 teams competing in several on- and off-road challenges. Drivers can even sign up for one-on-one coaching, taking advantage of Land Rover’s team of experts to really get comfortable with the capabilities of their Trophy Edition Defender.
“The Defender Trophy Edition evokes the spirit of adventure with an array of off-road accessories and special features created for the ultimate Land Rover enthusiast,” said Joe Eberhardt, President & CEO, Jaguar Land Rover North America. “We’re looking forward to putting on a memorable adventure competition for our Defender Trophy Edition customers that will not only put these vehicles to the test but will also create a special shared experience honoring the rich heritage of the Land Rover brand.”
The overall winning team will earn a slot at the 2022 Land Rover Trophy Competition at Eastnor Castle in the U.K., the home of Land Rover’s testing and development.
