Land Rover Defender Concept

Defender has been around for quite a long time now. But refreshes and upgrades have kept the sales up. But even the present SUV is pretty capable off and on the road, but more significantly off it. Thats not to say it aint good on the road. Its pretty decent. Ruggedness was something the defender always flaunted, and it looks the part too. So, when LR said it would release a new defender concept at the Frankfurt motor show, many wondered whether it would continue with the same ruggedness or go in the footsteps of modern day softroaders. But hey, look what LR came up with. Two stylish new concepts which great and had a wide audience at the motor show. One is a station wagon version with a fixed roof and what seems like four doors. The other is a yellow open top 2-seater. On the second day  of the event, LR even released a Red Cross Colors version.


Land Rover design boss Gerry McGovern told us a vehicle with approximately this look can fit over pretty much any mechanical base. The idea of showing these different DC100 versions is to prove a next-gen Defender must be ‘configurable. In other words, according to how the buyer specs the option boxes, it could be an emergency vehicle, a farmers transport (though without the 21-inch wheels, obviously), or a weekend toy.



The DC100 has a 2.0-litre diesel engine. The Sport has a turbo petrol. That makes it the first petrol Defender for years. But then, its the first sporty defender!

Range Rover Evoque convertible will not hit the Production

Range Rover Evoque is one of the best selling SUV for the company. Big success of Evoque has given the company to try out different variations of evoque. Range Rover Evoque Convertible concept was one of the experiments from the company and it was showcased in the 2012 Geneva Motor show. Land Rover has said that it will hear  the customer feedback to decide about the production plans. Now car and driver reports that Land Rover has dropped the plans for the Evoque convertible because of poor customer feed back. Evoque was very famous for its design especially the slopping the roof line. So there is no point of removing it and destroying the elegant design. In future Evoque will get a big panoramic sunroof which can be opened.
