I have a red 110 V8 CSW, and although slightly faded, runs and climbs hills well.
Jeremy Clarkson has a red defender in the SUB Zero part of the cool wall, does that make a difference?
You need to do a search. A few months ago we did some fair and unbiased (would you expect anything else from this forum?) research on the subject of red defenders and the outcome was that they didn't go up hills very well.
