I'm sure the folks at Urban will have the black paint, 23" rims and spoiler kits at the ready.
I swear I saw another shot of the Duratracs last night on LR socials that shows the tyres are R20...but I can't for the life of me find that pic this morning. So unless they dramatically increased the diameter, limited sidewall is a pretty good guess.

The 6D Dynamics suspension is the highlight for me. This is the new era of active suspension systems. It is capable of maintaining a flat chassis accelerating and cornering. Then, for off-road, maximize suspension articulation and tire contact with no need for swaybar disconnects because they no longer exist with this system. This thing will easily be the most capable Defender both on and off-road.

im not a fan but Land Rover is dead. Now there is a parent company, JLR I think, that owns separate entities. One is named Range Rover, one is Jag (electric only) and I guess one is Defender?

I don't think this is accurate. JLR is Jaguar/Land Rover. The Land Rover side of that equation sells two brands: Range Rover and Land Rover. Each brand has various models, i.e. Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Velar, Evoque, Discovery, Discovery Sport, Defender (I think that's all of them currently.)

When I read that bit about "British brand Defender" I just assumed it was the usual case of telling a Food reporter to write an automobile article or something.
