Smurf-Blue Range Rover SVR, Chelsea Tractor Body Kits & Defender Trophy Updates

from The Underpowered Hour · host Underpowered Hour

Steve Beres and Ike Goss open the Underpowered Hour noting a planned interview with Land Rover drivetrain expert Matt Jackson was lost due to a failed new “internet interview machine.” They cover Land Rover news, including the UK-only Range Rover Sport SVR Ultimate Edition with a 3.7-second 0–60 time, VIP handover, 500 units, and a £145,995 price. They discuss Chelsea Tractor Company expanding its signature body kits to vehicles like the Grenadier and Jeep, plus a line of pedal-equipped electric bikes and a heavily vented Defender build with an awkward fuel-filler tunnel. They preview the new Defender Trophy selection process in British Columbia, with 190 North American competitors and Jennifer Fibble competing for a finals spot in the UK. Ike also shares acquiring a recognizable 1950 Series I and a 1955 pickup from a Michigan estate sale and updates on a 109 wagon build with disc brakes and upgrades.00:00 Show Intro and Hosts01:19 Guest Interview Fails02:02 Range Rover SVR Ultimate03:28 VIP Perks and Tech05:36 Wheels Seats and Pricing06:49 Chelsea Tractor Body Kits08:13 Chelsea Electric Bikes12:28 Defender Guana Widebody14:46 Design Details and Fuel Door16:23 Chelsea Tractor Swell Kit17:21 Defender Trophy Returns18:37 Instagram Stage Training20:42 Estate Sale Rover Haul22:23 The Blue Series One25:21 Shop Build 109 Wagon25:54 Michelin XZL Tire Talk27:04 Tractor Tangents and Tips28:18 Busy Shop and UK Plans29:56 Next Episode Tease
