As you probably have gathered I have a massive soft spot for Land Rover Defenders, everything about them is just so delightfully British. Built to last and technology that’s been around for 50 years or more make this for me the world’s finest off road vehicle. Twisted Performance based in Thirsk, North Yorkshire have takencustom Land Rover Defenders to the next level with some epic special editions. All of these are available to buy and all can be customised to your own tastes.
Not only to they clearly do a fantastic job on the exterior and interior of the normally pretty plain looking vehicles but they do as there name suggests give you the option of Twisted Performance. They hold claim to creating the worlds fastest Defender which was run at Bruntingthorpe, they managed to create a beast with 239 hp and 510Nm torque which is just plain crazy. I’ve featured a lot of Custom Land Rovers over the last year but I have to say that the way they have all been presented and quality of the special editions put them well at the top of my list.
What I like about Twisted Performance is the fact that all these beautifully finished and manufactured Land Rovers look like they are all still built to go anywhere and drive through anything. Not for flashing around Chelsea to the cocktail lounge but for driving to Alaska just because you can. They have managed to keep to true identify of the Defender but with really cool rugged look that incredibly appealing. Don’t worry they also do Range Rovers, Disco’s and Freelanders.
