Interior finish features a yachting theme with an oiled teak wood floor and a leather and Alcantara finish in navy-blue

Introducing the STARTECH Land Rover Defender 90 Yachting Edition - made for those who like their luxury in abundance.

To fit with the yachting theme, the German tuner paints the outside of the Defender a shining white and adds running boards with integrated entrance lights, an SVX front grille, headlight covers in body color and a new set of wheels.

The new wheels - wrapped in 265/75 R 16 tires - also widen the track of the Defender by 3 cm.

For the interior comes an oiled teak wood floor trim to compliment the Alcantara navy-blue dyed headliner along with a navy-blue leather finish with white stitching for the doors, side panels, dash, center console and the Recaro sport seats. The shells of the seatbacks come in white to match the exterior color.

Also for the Yachting Edition finish is a sport steering wheel, shifter, emergency brake and reduction gear lever with the same navy-blue leather. The tuning is made official with the fitting of a Yachting Edition plaque for the center console.

There's also a new sound system with integrated touch-screen navigation.

The Off-Road Capable Dinghy for the Yacht

The STARTECH Land Rover Defender 90 Yachting Edition

From the marina directly into rough terrain: The STARTECH Land Rover Defender 90 Yachting Edition looks as great at the marina as it does on magnificent boulevards or when venturing off road.

Painted bright white, the premium leather/Alcantara interior dyed navy blue, foot wells and trunk clad in the finest teak - the English off-roader with lavish STARTECH design perfectly transfers maritime ambiance into the automobile.

Wide tires in size 265/75 R 16 bring three additional centimeters of tread in contact with the road and give the Land Rover an even brawnier appearance. To complement the wider tires the STARTECH designers developed new running boards with integrated entrance lights that are activated via the keyless fob or by opening one of the doors.

The exterior appearance of the STARTECH Yachting Edition further includes such tasteful details as the SVX front grille and headlight covers painted in body color.

Getting into the STARTECH Land Rover Defender 90 Yachting Edition, made easier by the STARTECH running boards, is a very special experience. The captain and his crew are welcomed by classic yacht design, which uses genuine oiled teak following the best ship-building traditions. This fine material lends the trunk and the foot wells a unique air.

The company upholstery shop attended to the remaining interior of the Defender 90 and transformed it from a rather mundane cockpit into an exclusively appointed wellness space.

The finest navy-blue leather with white contrasting seams refines door and side panels alike and adorns dashboard, center console and the Recaro sport seats. The new seats offer much better lateral support than the stock seats. But that's not all: Their leather upholstery is masterfully sewn using white baseball-style cross stitching and adds a modern contrast to the classic Land Rover interior. The shells of the seatbacks are painted white to match the exterior.

The headliner is made from Alcantara dyed the same color as the leather appointments. Precision-sewn white seams add magnificent highlights here as well.
Among the numerous other loving STARTECH details are an ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel, shifter, emergency brake and reduction gear lever all covered with navy-blue leather and a Yachting Edition plaque on the center console.

Rounding out the STARTECH treatment is a high-end sound system calibrated to the Defender interior. The sound system also features an integrated touch screen navigation system.

That blue interior is horrible. Looks like the inside of those police interceptor impalas.

How do you know about the color of police interceptor interiors?? Just kidding. Getting busted would be bad enough without having to ride downtown in a navy blue impala.

I really like the oiled teak floor. But what has this car got to do with Yachting? Is it adapted to hold yachting equipment? Just had a great idea. How about a Divers Edition? You could use a long wheel base Defender with the biggest, torquiest diesel engine LR produce. The rear could be adapted to hold scuba diving gear (oxygen tanks, wetsuits etc) and you could also have a special towing kit for towing a decent sized boat. Now tie THAT all together with an endorsement from a swiss divers watch manufacturer and we, ladies and gentlemen, have a rather neat product.

I have never seen a marina that could handle yachts in a location where a Defender would be needed for access. I use to crew in yacht races. I never met a Yacht guy who was into off-roading. A few might ride in a Defender when on safari. They don't desire to own them. Maybe the roads to the marinas are much less developed across the pond? Maybe you can park one on top of a lowely M3 to get a parking spot nearer to your slip.

I just don't get it. This land rover was never intended to be a luxury car of...some sort; why on Earth every major or minor tunning shop needs to destroy this ... tractor transforming it in something hard to describe ?!

That proves to me that if they only put a SOFT and comfortable interior in this car it would inevitably top the sales in the 4x4 segment.
