The Ares Defender V8 Hardtop is designed in Modena and assembled using smart OEM-level technology and traditional handcraft skills. The vehicle features larger rear tinted windows, a panoramic sunroof and a suspension lift kit that leaves 35mm higher than the standard model on 18-inch alloy wheels tucked inside wider wheel arches.
Inside, the Defender’s utilitarian cabin has been transformed into a sumptuous environment with fine leathers, carbon fibre, wood and aluminium trim that extends to every part of the cabin, including the bench seats in the luggage compartment.
