The weather has been extremely hot around Europe in the last about two weeks and this makes Germany’s Nurburgring a preferable location for hot weather testing in the automotive industry. It may seem a little surprising to see a large off-roader like the Land Rover Defender around the track but every new vehicle must be put to its paces before it is ready to hit the production lines. More importantly, this is an SVX prototype, which will reportedly be more powerful and more performance-oriented than any other Defender variant to date.
