Premium footwear boutique UNDEFEATED has teamed up with Galpin Auto Sports -- the custom garage used for Pimp My Ride season 5 and 6 -- to launch two new Land Rover models. The two new style-focused vehicles arrive as upgraded takes on the Defender 90 and 110 models.
First up, the 'Jaguar Blue' Land Rover Defender 110 was purpose-built for outdoor trips. As a result, it comes equipped with a range of amenities and features including a Nomad Kitchen Co. setup that slides out of the car's trunk, revealing a table, camping stove, sink, fridge, drawers, and storage compartments.
Meanwhile, the 'Jaguar Green' Undefeated x Gapin Defender 90 P400 First Edition caters directly to surfers. The vehicle features a built-in road shower, a retractable awning, a surfboard rack, and a hitch-mounted lockbox.
