UKBritish tuner Urban Automotive showed the Widetrack Avontur at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a pickup conversion built on the Land Rover Defender 110 Hard Top. Land Rover does not sell a factory pickup version of the current Defender, so the project is Urban Automotive’s own demonstration of what the platform can take.
The rear of the body is entirely reworked: the rear doors are removed and replaced with a hand-built carbon-fiber cargo bed, complete with a working tailgate, modular bed rails and exposed-carbon trim. Urban Automotive reinforced the body with a separate structural frame to keep it rigid without the rear doors and roof section.
Outside, the Avontur adds widened wheel arches, a new hood, a front splitter, side skirts, a rear spoiler, 23-inch wheels and more than 36 custom parts in total. Inside, it gets stitched leather trim, Recaro sport seats and upgraded finishes over the standard Defender cabin.
The Avontur is a prototype for now. Urban Automotive is accepting orders for the conversion but has not published a price.
