The New Land Rover Defender is a modern masterpiece, a rugged icon reborn with bold
styling and refined engineering. Yet even in its most powerful factory form, the Defender
whispers a quiet promise: there’s still more to come. At Paramount Performance, we
specialise in delivering that more, with New Defender modifications that transform this already – capable SUV into something sharper, louder, faster, and more uniquely yours.
With roots tracing back to the 1980s, our team brings decades of experience in precision
tuning, high-performance parts, and bespoke conversions. We’re proud to offer worldwide
mail order and dedicated UK-based installation, meaning your journey into Defender
upgrades can begin wherever you are.
In this blog, we explore the finest new Defender modifications available today, from
intelligent tuning to full-throttle performance conversions like our flagship Beast package.
Whether you’re here to fine-tune your ride or unleash its full potential, you’re in the right
place.
Performance That Feels Personal
The beauty of the New Defender lies in its versatility. Whether you drive the 110 Diesel or
the 5.0 V8, there’s a tailored upgrade path waiting for you. And with our full suite of new
Defender mods, you don’t have to settle for generic solutions.
Our curated range includes high-flow air induction systems, sports exhausts, remapping and
gearbox tuning, all designed to integrate perfectly with Land Rover’s advanced engineering.
The result? Performance that feels as natural as it is exhilarating, sharper throttle response,
more torque where it matters, and a driving experience that stays true to the Defender’s
DNA.
For 5.0 V8 owners, the possibilities expand further. With ECU tuning and supercharger
pulley upgrades, we’ve safely pushed power outputs past 660bhp. The drive becomes more
dynamic, the acceleration more urgent, and with our custom gearbox tuning, the shift points
adapt to your driving style with intuitive precision.
Enter the Beast
For those who aren’t content with incremental gains, for those who want the ultimate
Defender there’s the Beast package.
The Beast is our most ambitious, most exhilarating conversion for the New Defender to date.
Designed for the 5.0 V8 platform, the Beast represents the perfect fusion of performance
tuning and mechanical New Defender modifications.
At its core is a comprehensive ECU remap developed by VIEZU Technologies, coupled with
uprated intercoolers, a smaller supercharger pulley, and a high-flow exhaust system, all
engineered to take performance well beyond factory levels. On the road, the result is jaw-
dropping: immense torque delivery, a smoother power curve, and a driving feel that borders
on the addictive.
We didn’t stop at the drivetrain. An optional Land Rover New Defender carbon fibre bonnet provides aggressive styling and weight savings.“The New Defender presents exciting tuning possibilities, particularly with the 5.0 V8,” says
Paul Busby, CEO of Paramount Performance. “We’re regularly seeing tuned gains in the 600–660bhp range with complementary mods and software optimisation. It’s about enhancing the drive, not just chasing numbers.”What Makes Our Tuning Different?
Modern Defenders demand a different kind of tuner. With intelligent ECUs and integrated
drive management systems, true performance gains require deep technical insight and
proven tools. That’s where Paramount Performance shines.In partnership with VIEZU Technologies, we’ve tuned thousands of vehicles across the globe
– each one safely calibrated, dyno-verified, and supported by over 15 years of software
development experience. Whether it’s the 2.0L turbocharged P300 or the 5.0 V8, our tuning
solutions are designed for compatibility, reliability and satisfaction.Explore New Defender Modifications
“When you’ve seen what a properly tuned Defender can do – especially the V8 – you don’t go back,” Paul adds. “We’ve delivered upgrades that transform the way these vehicles feel on every level.”
