When the iconic Land Rover Defender meets Sylt, Germany's luxury island, the result has to be breathtaking. This is exactly what Land Rover delivers with the Defender 90 Marine Blue Edition, a special model presented during the Kitesurf World Cup on Sylt. A fusion of elegance, sportiness and a bit of nostalgia. But what makes the Defender 90 Marine Blue so special? First of all, the navy blue finish (foliation), which was specially developed by Land Rover. It not only gives the off-roader its name, but also its unmistakable look. The gleaming white roof provides an attractive contrast. A real eye-catcher is also the "Defender" surfboard, which is proudly displayed on the special "Aquasport" roof rack.

Not to mention the lateral outer beam that gives the vehicle an additional character. But that is not all. Each Marine Blue Edition Defender demonstrates its exclusivity with a “One of 25” plaque. A reminder that this is a truly exclusive vehicle. And the "Navy Blue"? It's not just a color, it's a piece of history. It pays tribute to the classic Defender models that shimmered in this shade between the 1950s and 1970s. And if you think the Defender is just an eye-catcher, you haven't seen the interior. The SE variant combines style with function and offers contemporary comfort.

Luxury meets technology: Everything in it, everything on it

The passengers will lack for nothing: a fabric folding roof for sunny days, grained leather seats that radiate elegance, and a cooling compartment for refreshment in between. And the technology fans? They will appreciate the MeridianTM Sound System, Apple CarPlayTM and the inductive charging of smartphones. And safety and driving comfort are also guaranteed thanks to the adaptive cruise control with collision warning and an electronically controlled air suspension. All this is available for EUR 99.800. A steep price, but who wouldn't want to be one of the few owners of the Sylt special model? One thing is for sure: with the Defender 90 Marine Blue Edition you cut a fine figure everywhere.
