“We have developed a new test standard for the Defender, the most difficult we have ever established, and entirely specific to this vehicle. Physical power and durability are measured by a number of different tests, including a bridge jump test which gave us the confidence to perform the stunts present in Die Can Wait, without changing the frame structure, put apart from the installation of a safety cage.
