The JE "ZULU"

JE have a reputation for having designed and constructed some of the most spectacular high performance Land Rover products ever. That tradition continues today with JE's latest offering, the "ZULU" which combines the iconic ruggedness of the Defender with the brutal power of the Supercharged AJV8 engine.

Result: A SuperDefender like you have never driven before!

"Cooler than a Cayenne, like Usain Bolt winning the 100 metres in green wellies and a Barbour!"......EVO May 2010

".....And you can drive it very quickly.  It's more of a loud surge than a hammer-blow of acceleration, but the way it gathers speed is surreal.It just picks up pace and then picks up more pace and before you can say 'landed gentry' you've gained disturbing levels of momentum........".......EVO.......Issue145 May 2010

“....This shiny black house-brick takes off like a jet fighter hitting 60 from rest in 5.5 sec and leaving in its wake a line of dropped jaws and damaged egos. This is the fastest-accelerating road-going Land Rover ever. Period!”.........Land Rover Monthly

"....I slipped the automatic transmission’s gearlever into Drive and was off. Torque output is electronically limited in low-range and in high-range/first gear of the four-speed box to prevent it all going wrong as soon as you start off. Even so, I found myself fairly belting along the road, with that exhaust barking.
Saying that it’s quick is a bit of an understatement!!.....".........Zulu Charge! LRO.April 2009
