Bowler made a rally car from the Land Rover Defender 90

Bowler Motors, a division of Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations, has long been known for its JLR-based rally cars.
The company's latest project is the Land Rover Defender 90 for the Bowler Defender Challenge racing series.

The rally Defender is based on a short-wheelbase version of the 90 with a 2.0-litre, 300-horsepower turbocharged Ingenium petrol engine. The car has increased ground clearance and a modified underbody, and is also equipped with many additional elements, such as a roll cage, gear shift paddles and heavy-duty 18-inch rally wheels.
