Land Rover’s Defender 130 Will Be Unveiled on May 31st

The first launch of the Defender saw two models offered: the 90 two-door variant and the 110 four-door version. Shortly after their debut, rumours began to circulate about the introduction of other variants, including one called the 130.

That 130 is now about ready to be introduced, and Land Rover plans a big unveiling set for May 31st. We're talking about a version that's almost 15 inches longer than the 110, but with the same wheelbase as that model. Land Rover say the model will offer similar handling, but for off-road driving, the exit angle will be different at the rear because of the extended section in that area.

For those who might take their Land Rover Defender off-road, of course, which isn’t everyone.
