Cars of yesterday.
Built for tomorrow.
Let Innovation Drive You
It’s not every day someone does something that’s never been done before.
Introducing the Blackbridge Defender Mark IV. A unique vehicle rooted in the past but engineered for the present. We honor a timeless classic by introducing best-in-class drivability solutions coupled with modern technology to merge the best of both worlds: ageless design and zero hassle. Customizable, reliable, technology-obsessed and hyper-focused on the most important element – the driver. Black Bridge creates machines that no one’s ever made so you can drive like no one ever has.
Reliable, Modern Power
Reliable, Modern Power
Building on over a century of design innovations, the Mark IV uses only the most reliable, tested and proven powertrains from one of the world’s largest automotive manufacturers. Each Mark IV build comes standard with the ultra-reliable and proven 430HP 6.2 Liter LS3 Chevrolet Corvette engine from General Motors Performance. Looking for more? Upgrade to the 650HP 6.2 Liter Supercharged V8 LT4. Both power plants come with a 24 Month/50,000 mile warranty. Nothing comes close to the reliability and power of a Blackbridge Defender Mark IV.
High-Performance Braking
High-Performance Braking
Gone are old vacuum-assisted braking systems. Blackbridge has engineered and developed a hydraulically-assisted braking system to give the driver the ultimate in stopping confidence and performance. With all four corners equipped with up to 2000 PSI of clamping force, the Mark IV offers the ability to upgrade to higher performance braking options developed by the 425x Formula 1 Grand Prix-winning brake system manufacturer: Brembo. The Mark IV stops as well as it goes.

The Mark IV is built around one of the world’s most tested, mileage proven, off-roaded and awarded chassis on the road today.
