At The Landrovers, nothing is a coincidence. Every detail has its meaning, therefor a completely in-house developed revolutionary drivetrain deserves more than just a technical label. Panterra embodies the elegance and raw strength of the great cats. Symbols of agility and master over their environment. Adding “Terra” connects this spirit to both terrain and mother earth: the rough landscapes where the Defender thrives, and the planet we want to preserve for generations to come. Together, Panterra expresses the perfect balance between untamed performance, adventure and conscious responsibility. The very essence of what The Landrovers stand for.
Now imagine a Land Rover Defender… iconic for its rugged character, yet reborn as a silent, elegant and powerful electric masterpiece. That is the promise of Panterra, the groundbreaking electric drivetrain created by The Landrovers. Panterra is more than a technical innovation, Panterra embodies a vision: engineering excellence paired with luxury, adventure, and responsibility.
In-wheel innovation: power in every corner
At the heart of Panterra there are four unique in-wheel motors, each one independently controlled with its own direct power source. The result? Instant torque, razor-sharp control, and unmatched grip, whether you’re conquering mountain trails or whispering through city streets.
This setup also eliminates traditional drivetrain components such as driveshafts, transmissions, oil, and a gear box. That means more space, better weight distribution, and a quieter, smoother ride. Panterra is a revolution in engineering, designed not just for performance, but also for refinement.
Raw strength, refined elegance
The numbers speak for themselves: the Panterra electric Defender delivers up to 600 horsepower and a staggering peak torque of 6,400 Nm. Add to that cutting-edge torque vectoring, regenerative braking, independent suspension, ABS and ESP — and you have driving dynamics that rival the world’s finest luxury SUVs. With a 200 kWh battery, offering up to 600 km of all-electric exploration, this car will unlock your freedom.
But Panterra is more than performance. Each Defender is finished with bespoke luxury: (vegan) leather interiors, recycled wood accents, and a state-of-the-art infotainment system. Every detail is made in close collaboration with you, our customer, turning a legendary vehicle into your personal expression of style and purpose.
Why Panterra matters
Breathing the Panterra-philosophy, a hole lot of panterra-movement is going on in the company. From the name of groupe chats to theme parties for all employees. And from our special friday Panther-blouses to the way we approache problems: look at it from all sides with a dedicated team, make a plan and get it done in the most elegant way with best solution there is. It became the symbol of strength with which we work.
The Defender has always been an icon of freedom. With Panterra, it becomes the future of adventure. So the real question is not why Panterra. The question is: are you ready to drive the future with our electric Defender?
