When it comes to the modern, automotive wunderkind, their are few people as deserving of the crown as designer Samir Sadikhov. In addition to the Samir Sadikhov Hummer Concept and the Brubaker Box Minivan Concept–along with the fact he designed the Rezvani Tank–there’s no denying Sadikhov has made an indelible mark on motoring as a whole. This is perhaps no more true than it’s been with the Samir Customs Land Rover 4×4 Adventure Van Defender Custom you see here. This most recent concept takes the recently-retired Land Rover Defender 4×4 and reimagines it as the snub-nosed Van Defender with a cab-over-wheel design that includes a longer wheelbase, larger roof rack, better interior seating, more lightbars and other interior and exterior features that are nothing short of deal-changers when it comes to modern performance upgrades. Unfortunately, the concept is nothing more than that at this point, but if enough people express interest, maybe we can collectively make this a reality.
