Good news, procrastinators of Top Gear. The new Land Rover Defender might only have been a thing for a few minutes, but we already have a remarkably detailed online configurator to play with. And play with it we have. The short-wheelbase Defender 90 arrives a few months after the 110, so for now the configurator only lets you play with the long-wheelbase five, six or seven-seat car. Fine by us. First, you have to choose your spec. Standard Defender 110 (then base, S, SE or HSE), Defender First Edition or chintzy Defender 110 X. Prices start at 45,240, 58,860 and 78,800 respectively. The standard Defender 110 gets a choice of engines - a 2.0-litre diesel with 200 or 240bhp or a 2.0-litre petrol with 300bhp. The First Edition is only available with the 240bhp diesel, while the 110 X is so far the only Defender with the 400bhp mild-hybrid straight-six petrol. Then you"re into the options list, which is very dangerous indeed. Some option costs change depending on what spec you"ve gone for (the 22in wheels, for example, cost 4,900 on the basic, normally steel-wheeled Defender), but in any case things get very silly very quickly. The 110 X might start at almost 80K, but you can still add a load to it that sees the RRP sail past 92K. For a Defender.
