The Land Rover Defender Icarus is Prepared for Life in the Wilderness

— October 7, 2015 — Autos
For those who simply require performance and comfort from their vehicle, the Land Rover Defender Icarus is a clear exercise in both respects. Designed using a base model Defender from Land Rover, the Land Rover Defender Icarus comes from Alu-Cab, a South Africa-based company that has modified the vehicle to absolute perfection.

Aside from the inherently rugged design aesthetic that the original Defender boasts, the Land Rover Defender Icarus has been modified to be ready for a camping trip in the African wilderness. Featuring a roof tent that can be easily set up in seconds, slide out solar panels to provide electricity and a full supply of kitchen supplies, the Land Rover Defender Icarus is ready for more adventures than you can likely handle.
