Discover military-style modifications for your 4x4

Beyond the simple notion of performance, the ultimate driving experience should be effortless and empowering for you, especially when adventure is on your mind. After all, when you’re in the right car, it should feel like an extension of you.

It’s with that determined commitment to individuality and expression that Talos designs and manufactures its remarkable modified 4x4s. Originally a producer of military vehicles, Talos – based in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire – has recently begun undertaking bespoke civilian projects, with impressive results. The creative vision stems from CEO Jamie Thwaites, who has distilled his twin passions of racing and military vehicles into Talos.

The process is impressively flexible right from the start – you can either supply an existing vehicle for modification, ask Talos to source the vehicle, or opt for one of its limited-edition builds based on the Land Rover Defender range. Whether it’s a full vehicle wrap, muscular steel bumpers, a carbon fibre bonnet or even custom leather seating and interior lighting, when you come to Talos Vehicles, every detail can be refined to your exact preferences.

Tough exteriors

Talos’s customised exteriors can transform a 4x4 into an all-conquering off-road behemoth, but don’t assume it’s all grunt and no guile. Take the anti-material front and rear steel bumpers. Although they’re made to be relentlessly strong, ready for an array of would-be obstacles, they’re also designed to complement the car’s existing features without affecting functionality, such as rear parking sensors.

If you’re planning some hardcore off-roading – and if you’ve come to Talos Vehicles, you probably are – you could go for the anti-material front bumper featuring a winch that can pull up to 10,000lbs at a velocity of 5.6ft per minute. That’s if you don’t mind being your mates’ designated rescue vehicle.

For a real touch of class, and more importantly for a clean trouser leg as you descend from your mud-flecked chariot, why not choose the rapid-deployment side step? Available on the 90 and 110 Land Rover Defenders, this distinguished addition comes proudly embossed with the Talos logo.

You can even change the whole visual feel of your vehicle with a temporary part- or full-vinyl wrap, available in a vast choice of colourways, graphics and textures. It can be removed at any time with no damage to the existing paintwork. Other exterior options include both spoilers and bonnets in sleek carbon fibre and upgraded brakes with callipers in a statement colour of your choice.

Sleek interiors

Now, here’s where you can really focus on the minutiae that will leave your passengers in no doubt whose car this is – even something as humble as a seatbelt can add a pop of colour.

You can prioritise pure unadulterated luxury while enjoying your high-octane adventures with the ultimate comfort package. It allows you to choose from soft, supple Nappa leather or rich, plush Alcantara, so everything you come into regular contact with is adorned with precision-fitted splendour. Roof star lighting, meanwhile, can add a new dimension, especially for night-time drives, as you can set the mood with an on-command rotation of colours.

Of course, there’s also the one component that connects man and machine more than any other: the steering wheel. Talos’s comes in carbon fibre, finished with perforated leather and stitching the colour of which, you guessed it, you can choose. On select models, you can even go for a heated steering wheel – no more cold leather on a bitter winter’s morning.

The whole hog?

If you don’t already have a high-performance 4x4 to bring to the table, there’s always the option of treating yourself to your own limited-edition Talos build. Using Land Rovers in the 90 and 110 editions as a base, Talos crafts every vehicle with the goal of never compromising on form or function. You can choose from the Delta or Recon editions, which come with a comprehensive package of modifications, with each part designed in-house from quality British steel.

As distinctive as Talos’s modus operandi and visual language is, the most important element in the whole equation is you. This is your chance to drive something fashioned to your taste and style, down to the inch.

So, whether you’re planning a raft of epic road trips or some intrepid, off-grid exploration, let Talos be your gateway.
