About the Defender 90 P525 L663

The 2021 Land Rover Defender 90 P525 L663 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated car 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 2.06 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,173rd quickest to 60 mph, and the quickest of the 5 Land Rovers here. Its 106.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 10 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

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 P525 L663 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 10 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
