Based on the information posted, the Defender Octa is set to be powered by a V8 twin-turbo engine in mild hybrid set-up. The said mill, which comes with several drive modes, can dish out as much as 626 horsepower and up to 750 Newton-meters of torque — allowing the vehicle to sprint 100 kilometers per hour from standstill in four seconds flat.
Giving the vehicle its distinctive roar is the active exhaust system.

Its stopping power is guaranteed by the Defender Octa-specific brake pads, calipers and brake discs with Integrated Power Brake system that cuts down brake fade.
The upcoming Defender Octa also comes with 6D Dynamics Air Suspension that features hydraulic interlinked dampers and height adjustable air springs.
