However, recently, the British marque unveiled another special-edition Octa, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmag.co.za\/news\/new-models\/2025-land-rover-defender-octa-black-south-african-price-specs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Octa Black<\/a>. Although the automaker\u2019s local arm hasn\u2019t revealed just how many units of this model have been allocated to our market, it has said it \u201cis available in limited numbers with exclusive pre-configured curations\u201d. The Octa Black is priced from R3 979 500, making it nearly R260 000 more expensive than the \u201cstandard\u201d model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a reminder, the Octa employs a BMW-sourced 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol motor, tuned to produce 467 kW and 750 N.m of torque, with an additional 50 N.m on tap when engaging Dynamic Launch Mode. According to the brand, these figures allow the Octa to dispatch the 0-100 km\/h dash in 4.0 seconds, before topping out at 210 km\/h when fitted with 20-inch alloy wheels, or 250 km\/h when rolling on 22-inch items.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduced in July 2024, the&nbsp;Land Rover&nbsp;Defender Octa, which we&nbsp;sampled&nbsp;in January 2025, was designed to up the ante on the \u201cstandard\u201d Defender 110.
