Leaked Lego Technic equipment could present 2021 Land Rover Defender

The 2021 Land Rover Defender will not make its official debut till this September, however of all issues, an upcoming Lego Technic equipment could have revealed what it appears like.

Lego fanatic web site The Brothers Brick posted pictures of the brand new equipment on Friday. Motor 1 discovered it and reported on it on Saturday. The pictures present an SUV that appears awfully acquainted when in comparison with spy photographs of the upcoming luxurious off-roader. Nowhere within the leaked data or pictures does it verify that is the next-generation Defender, however it actually does not appear to be the traditional Defender we knew for many years. The web site stated the equipment is designed as a “duplicate of the legendary utility car.”

Whereas the general profile of the Lego equipment appears to match the spy photographs of the upcoming Defender, a number of components do not fairly match with what we have seen in spy photographs. To begin, we won’t see the rear finish, however it seems to point out a blockier, extra upright look than the ultimate car could have. Secondly, the spherical headlights do not match prototypes we have seen of the 2021 Defender. Spy photographs have proven what appear to be horizontal lights with no signature spherical factor. It’s extremely doable these lights are placeholders, nonetheless. The primary-generation Defender sported spherical lights, and the reborn mannequin may cling onto the look—despite the fact that the general design won’t be retro.

Lastly, the mannequin has a working winch. We’ve not seen winches on any 2021 Defender prototypes, however once more, this might present up on the manufacturing car.

What’s most curious is the timing of the Technic set’s launch. Land Rover has scheduled the brand new Defender to debut in September, whereas the Lego equipment will supposedly present up in October. Appears quite coincidental to us.

However, we’ll see the what the most recent Defender has in retailer when it bows in a number of months. Lego followers may also sit up for creating their very own Defender—all 2,573 items of it. Based on The Brothers Brick, the equipment will value about $204 based mostly on present trade charges from the British pound to the U.S. greenback.
