Sure Looks Like Lego Leaked a 2020 Land Rover Defender Two-Door
Sure Looks Like Lego Leaked a 2020 Land Rover Defender Two-Door-July 2024

We’ve known there’s a new coming, though so far we’ve only seen heavily camouflaged prototypes running around. But it kind of looks like Lego has leaked it early. Or at least, it did its best.

I first came across the Lego photos from someone I follow on Twitter, , quoting a tweet from after a friend sent it to me. A quick search later and I found an article detailing the new Defender’s Lego Technic model over at .

And here’s a prototype publicity photo of the real deal:

Note the ridiculously flared fenders above the wheels and the same modern, stacked and square-off nose. The spacing of the lower bumper even lines up fairly accurately.

The Lego set is apparently rumored to go on sale in October, has 2,573 pieces, has a “working steering mechanism,” a “four-speed sequential gearbox,” includes “three differentials and an independent suspension,” and is only described as a “replica of the legendary utility vehicle,” though it looks far more modern than any real Defender that has been built so far.

None of that tells us anything useful about the actual car.

If you look back at video of a four-door , it sure looks like this LEGO kit is based on the upcoming model, which is meant to be officially revealed later this year.

This kit is also our first clue that Land Rover might be considering a two-door new Defender model, as nothing for the new generation has been confirmed yet, and most of the prototypes we’ve seen have been four-doors. (: Defender coupes have indeed been spotted before as well.)

Jalopnik has reached out to Land Rover for confirmation and will update if more information comes through.

Mahindra Fires Back At FCA And Media Reports About The Jeep And Roxor Legal Battles
I’d like to remind you that there is currently a great battle waging— a battle between Mahindra, who is selling their off-road-only vehicle, and Jeep, who sells, you know, Jeeps. Fiat-Chrysler (FCA) alleges that the very Jeep-like Roxor is too very Jeep-like to be sold here in America. While...

I don’t think I’m being unfair when I say the American versions of Top Gear have had a rough history. Top Gear USA made it through four seasons with some okay episodes, but it never landed as well as the British original. And , starring the banker who gets...

Ever since we first saw the , even before it had its windows smashed, the first thing I (and likely many others) thought of was that, damn, this thing looks like the kind of low-polygon model we used to have in 1990s early 3D video games. Well, now that...

Right off the bat I’d like to apologize for the lack of direct photographic proof of this car, since my ride in it was decades ago, at a time when I was young and beautiful and in no way aware that one day I’d be relaying any of this...
