There are only a small handful of brands we’d trust with six figures of our money to build us a proper Defender, and Arkonik is one of them. The Avant-garde is a Bonatti Grey (that dark, rich gray that perfectly contrasts both black and silver) Land Rover 110 with enough space for nine that’s powered by a 200TDi engine and rolls on KAHN 1983 16″ alloy wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich tires. The urban wagon also has a Front Runner roof rack with rear ladder, Fire & Ice side steps, rear LED work lamp and an NAS rear step, but it’s the interior that will have you getting in line to pre-order. Arkonik’s far most luxurious interior is decked out with premium leather and black suede accents throughout, along with brushed aluminum knobs, an Elite Loc-Box and a deluxe sound system. This SUV will have you feeling like a tomb raider in no time.
