| Land Rover has launched a limited edition Tomb Raider vehicle in Britain similar to the version that was specially built for the movie of the same name.
Only 250 of the Defender Tomb Raider LE have been built. It is available in a 90 Station Wagon or 110 Double Cab. It is built on the Defender 90 and 110 platforms, both powered by Land Rover's five-cylinder turbo-diesel rather than the gas-burning V8 in the movie truck.
Apart from the obvious styling changes they are mechanically identical to the standard models.
Land Rover built three specially outfitted Defender 110s to be used by video game character turned movie star Lara Croft in the film. Each vehicle cost approximately $175 000 to build.
The limited edition vehicles will have similar interior and exterior designs to the movie Land Rover. It will have a Bonatti gray exterior, plus the blackened roof rack, spotlights and, of course, lots of Tomb Raider badges. The Defender 90 will see for £22 995 and the 110 Double Cab for £23 995.
Land Rover Australia have also built a Tomb Raider Limited Edition Model based on a standard 110 Station wagon rather than the dual Cab pick-up available on the European market.
