Land Rover->ke46 is celebrating its 65th anniversary with a special event that will also include the launch of a special-edition Defender LXV (65 in Roman numerals).

The new Defender->ke1858 LXV can be ordered in either Santorini Black or Fuji White. Both colors will get contrasting Corris Grey roof, grille and headlight surrounds, plus a set of 16-inch Sawtooth alloy wheels.

For the interior, Land Rover has opted for a unique orange contrast stitching on the seats, steering wheel and center cubby compartment. There are also "LXV" logos embossed on the front headrests. As an option, customers can also get a union flag decal placed on the rear of the vehicle.

The new Defender LXV will be put on sale in August.

About the standard Land Rover Defender

Land Rover Defender was officially unveiled in 1990, but until that point, it was sold as the Land Rover Ninety or One Ten. Since then, the model enjoyed a great success on the market, with over 2 million units sold until now.

Since 1990, the model has seen lots of updates with the latest coming in the 2013 model year. During this update, the Defender received two new body colors, Barolo Black and Havana, new premium seat design, upgraded in-car entertainment and a choice of four new contrast roof colors.

For the 2013 model year, the Defender is offered with a 2.2-liter diesel engine that delivers a total of 120 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. This amount of power is enough to sprint the car from 0 to 60 mph in 14.7 seconds and up to a top speed of 90 mph.
