As they did with Dakar, Defender is treating enthusiasts to a video series highlighting their journey to (and through) the 2026 Rally Raid Portugal.
From Defender:
“The Defender Rally crew ensure the Defender Dakar D7X-Rs are fully tested ahead of the race, focusing a lot more on the brakes. Navigating 2,200km of treacherous forests, rocks, mud and water, Defender Dakar D7X-R is a true test of engineering. Different terrains. Same goal.
