Twisted wants the Defender to make sense in 2022. Perhaps a 308hp 2.3-litre petrol engine will help...
When John went to see Twisted at their new London digs in Kensington last month to drive, the also-present and no less new T-VS was introduced to him as ‘the thinking man’s’ Defender. The reasoning was clear enough: thanks to its 308hp 2.3-litre petrol engine, it splits the difference between the 450hp LT1-powered derivative, the T-V8, and the 268hp zero-emission car that requires the virtuous to signal their good intentions with a £270,000 commitment.
Initially, this comes as a surprise. In the build-up, the tuner discussed the gains made in performance from its lighter, nimbler Defender, and presumably it had the option to twin the four-pot with an anonymous OEM slusher, had it wished . Instead, it has grafted the Ecoboost unit onto a familiarly cantankerous six-speed manual gearbox, which has the effect of wedging its usual brawniness into what seem like curiously abrupt ratios.
The crux of it is that while the T-VS is not especially quick by any contemporary measure, it is appreciably fast for a classic Defender that has not had a 6.2-litre rocket inserted up its trouser leg. And unlike the V8-powered derivatives, which tend to needlessly revel in incongruous straight line speed, the Defender actually feels reasonably well-matched to its brooding new petrol engine.
