Introduction

The 2025 Land Rover Defender 110 Octa is a powerhouse straight from the factory, featuring a 4.4L Twin-Turbo V8 mild-hybrid engine delivering 635 PS (467 kW) and 750 Nm of torque, with a 0-100 km/h sprint in 4.0 seconds. For enthusiasts in the UAE looking to push its extreme performance further, TrackPart offers a range of aftermarket upgrades to conquer desert dunes and urban roads like never before. Explore the top 5 mods to enhance your Octa, with parts available on TrackPart’s marketplace.

1. Performance Exhaust System

The Octa’s active exhaust system already roars, but a performance exhaust from brands like Borla or MagnaFlow can amplify its sound and boost power by 10-20 hp, staying within UAE road-legal limits. This mod reduces backpressure and sheds weight from its robust design.

Looking for a performance exhaust? Check out TrackPart’s Marketplace for second-hand and new options.

2. Upgraded Air Intake

Enhance the Twin-Turbo V8’s airflow with a cold air intake from K&N or AFE, adding 5-15 hp and improving throttle response. Ideal for UAE’s dusty deserts, it ensures the engine remains clean during off-road ventures.

Want to upgrade your intake? Browse TrackPart’s Marketplace for high-quality air intake systems.

3. Off-Road Suspension Lift Kit

The Octa’s 6D Dynamics air suspension offers sportscar-like handling, but a 2-inch lift kit from Old Man Emu or Terrafirma boosts ground clearance for UAE’s rocky terrains. Paired with stiffer springs, it supports added off-road gear, complementing the one-meter wading depth.

Need a lift kit? Search TrackPart’s Marketplace for suspension upgrades.

4. All-Terrain Tires and Rims

Swap the stock 20-inch forged wheels for aftermarket 20-inch rims with BFGoodrich KO2 all-terrain tires, improving grip on sand and gravel. Lighter rims reduce unsprung weight, enhancing the Octa’s agility.
