About the Defender 90 5.0 V8 P525 525

The 2019 Land Rover Defender 90 5.0 V8 P525 525 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged SUV of 2,471 kg with 518 bhp, which works out at 209 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 1.91 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,607th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the quickest of the 86 Land Rovers here. It leaves better than it pulls: 101.3 mph at the lights is only the 2,504th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

518 bhp and 2,471 kg, which is 209 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 8 gears and a quoted top speed of 192 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Land Rover Defender 90 5.0 V8 P525 525?
Closest here on pace: BMW X2 M35i F39 (4.48 s), Rolls-Royce Cullinan 6.75 V12 571 (4.65 s), Porsche Cayenne S Mk III (4.34 s). Each one can be raced against the Land Rover Defender 90 5.0 V8 P525 525 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Land Rover Defender 90 5.0 V8 P525 525 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
