Land Rover DC100 on dirt road

Showroom in New York presented us the new  Land Rover DC100 Expedition. The new version of the concept DC100 SUV  is in line with the longstanding brand off-road values of this class, and is equipped with a winch, snorkel and special tires with big tread for all terrains. The idea of the British company is to explore the possibility and sell this SUV of return of Defender of the U.S. market.

The limited edition of DC100 will be produced only 500 pieces, painted in white or black. Another new model is LR4 HSE Luxury Limited Edition. LR4, as the name of the Discovery 4 overseas has silver accents and huge 20-inch wheels. Interior changes are small but include Leather dashboard, wood accents and steering wheel with perforated leather lining.

Land Rover Defender model 2012

Very difficult to assess the impact of the Land Rover Defender in automotive history. It is this car is based on the discovery of many unknown corners of our planet.Land Rover Defender first appeared before the world in 1983 and gradually won a reputation for the best car that moves beyond the normal roads. Therefore, it is not surprising that he was the first representative of the automobile civilization, which leads to obscure places in South America and Africa

Land Rover Defender version 2012

It should be remembered, and his popularity in the armed forces of many countries. England, Germany, USA, Izrael – these are just some of the countries whose armies rely on Land Rover Defender. Not to mention that it is vital for organizations like the UN and Red Cross, for example.

Now this machine and are upgrading. This version is produced by 1990 and in 2011 we saw the concept DC100, you will need to succeed. Would there be merit, to be seen

2012 model SUV-Land Rover DC100

There are people who sincerely believe that the Land Rover Defender is the best in its class. We will not argue with them, but in fairness it should be noted that this model is available already for many years, she has a high level of comfort, and ergonomics have a problem. Understands this and in the Land Rover, which is why British presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show concept of the new Defender.
While the British are thinking. After all, if the new Defender will be saved as a “workhorse”, it should be done as simple and cheap. But this market segment in recent years has declined steadily – consumers are increasingly needed not just off-roader, and comfortable SUV. So it is possible that the new Defender will be positioned as a stylish car for the young. Which will no longer need a strong frame and mechanical locking differentials. But some stylish alloy wheels or leather trim in this case would be binding. But this, as you know, is quite another Defender … In addition, this model will compete with existing Freelander and Discovery. This is why Frankfurt was presented just two prototypes of the new Defender. One called DC100 is just a “working horse”, with a diesel engine, and the second – DC100 Sport is a bright yellow SUV, which must go to the beach.

2012 Defender-DC100

Whatever it was, but by 2015 the old Defender not going anywhere. But what will happen, still unclear. Indeed, the concept shown at this time may undergo many changes. “Offer a replacement for the legendary Defender – This is probably one of the biggest challenges in the world of automotive design. This is a car that inspires people around the world. It is not ready for mass production concept, but the beginning of a four-year journey, the end point of which is to create a Defender for the 21st century, “- said design director Gerry McGovern Land Rover. It is interesting that in his Land Rover introduced the concepts of modern system, which in future could be on the production SUV. In particular, the new Defender got a system that makes it easier to overcome water obstacles. It consists of sensors, sonar, capable of measuring the depth of the water obstacle. That is, in fact, the machine will “see” what she has to pass a river. In addition to this we must add that the DC100 and DC100 Sport can automatically increase the ground clearance and close in time, all the vents in the engine. Moreover, there are also special bus. In standard mode, they do not have thorns, but if you want the driver can release them with a sophisticated hydraulic system that is built into each wheel.

DC100-Conceptual Land Rover Defender model 2012

In the meantime, Land Rover begins his “long road” to the new Defender, the British decided to upgrade some old car that will have to sell another four years. The main and almost the only important change – the emergence of a new 2.2-liter diesel engine that produces 122 hp It replaces the 2.4-liter unit, which gave the same number of “horses”, but he was more greedy and match the only environmental standards Euro 4 (and now must have the Euro-5)

With a standard eight-speed ZF automatic instead of the previously built six-speed automatic sends Land Rover now the V6 diesel engines of his Discovery SUV and the Range Rover Sport based on him going into model year 2012. This innovation is intended to harmonize not only accelerate the process and switching, but also to curb fuel consumption: 8.5 to 9.3 liters instead of the current diesel fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, the angular seven-seater Discovery comes with the smaller of the two 3.0-liter twin turbo engines, which as usual makes 155 kW/211 hp. The stronger, up 8 hp to 188 kW/256 hp kW/11 increased diesel performance, comes in a standard fuel consumption of 8.8 liters per 100 kilometers. With the number of available speed steps increase the price of the heavy British, who sends up to 600 Nm of torque to all four wheels.

2011 Land Rover LR2 HSE Elegant SUV

The LR2 provides tremendous value in the premium compact SUV class, while demonstrating the refined on-road performance and off-road aptitudes the Land Rover brand is known for.The LR2 HSE brings many enhancements to the new model year:HD Radio is now available in the HSE Plus Package. HD Radio audio systems feature innovative new content and formats, essential data services and crystal-clear sound. These channels feature digitally delivered new music and fresh formats, some of which showcase All Live and Acoustic, Southern Rock or Pride niche content.On the interior, a new color combination is introduced with Storm Grey Napoli perforated leather seating surfaces and Ebony carpeting. A new digital clock is also an addition to the driver information center. Four new optional exterior paint colors are offered: Galway Green, Biscay Blue, Bali Blue, and Ipanema Sand.

2011 Land Rover LR2 HSE Crossover

Ultra-high-strength steel is used extensively in the LR2′s monocoque body construction creating an extra-stiff body structure. This stiff body structure provides great handling, both on-and off-road by reducing flex.The LR2 has a fully integrated front structure to properly support cooling system, hood latch, and bumper components, in addition to the use of special steel for the A pillars, lower sills, front side members, door beams, cantrails, and dash reinforcements. To provide extra noise isolation, the LR2 uses a double-layer bulkhead as the engine bay’s rear wall and a solid mounting location for brake and windshield-wiper components. Crumple zones are engineered into both ends of the LR2 providing superior collision performance. As an extra point of safety and to minimize the likelihood of pedestrian injury, the inner and outer hood panels are spaced apart by 2.8-3.5 inches.Double-sided zinc-coated steel exterior panels serve as the substrate for the most sophisticated anti-corrosion and paint treatment ever used on any Land Rover. Molded thermoplastic cladding is used to protect sill and lower areas of the vehicle from dents and scuff marks. To protect the radiator and AC condenser, a stout thermoplastic undertray deflects rocks and brush from damaging the components. Under the engine, there’s an even more substantial steel guard plate. The bumpers are made of high-pressure injection-molded mineral-reinforced polypropylene that provides temperature stability with excellent scratch and impact resistance.

2011 Land Rover LR2 HSE Suv

The LR2 has a 3.2-liter, 230-hp engine, which provides enough power to go from 0 to 60 mph in 8.4 seconds. Smooth power delivery and quick response gives the LR2 a comfortable feel. An inline-six-cylinder layout was selected to take advantage of that configuration’s inherent smoothness. The design of the LR2′s new engine is so compact that a transverse mounting arrangement was possible, yielding improved cabin space and collision performance while providing estimated 15 mpg city, 22 mpg highway in EPA tests.The cast aluminum block, below-the-block bedplate, 24-valve cylinder head, and cylinder-head cover have all been structurally optimized to provide the desired strength and stiffness with minimal weight.A special Rear End Ancillary Drive (READ) arrangement was engineered to trim the overall length of the LR2′s engine to only 23.6-in (600mm). A gear attached to the output end of the crankshaft spins an idler shaft, one end of which powers the coolant pump, AC compressor, and alternator.The opposite end of the idler shaft drives the dual overhead camshafts through an inverted-tooth chain. This arrangement permits ancillary equipment to be positioned over the transaxle, yielding a more compact powertrain package.A Cam Profile Switching (CPS) system opens the intake valves on one schedule at low speeds and on a different schedule during high load and rpm conditions. Switching between the dual lobes optimizes fuel consumption, emissions performance, and the power produced.A Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system connected to the exhaust camshaft regulates the amount of overlap (period with both intake and exhaust valves open), to aid general drivability, idle smoothness, and power and torque output. VVT also minimizes exhaust emissions.A fourth special feature is a Variable Intake System which adjusts both plenum volume and intake tract length to enhance engine output across the full rpm range. The net result is a peak torque of 234 lb-ft at 3200 rpm and at least 189 lb-ft of torque from 1400 to 6400 rpm.The Aisin Warner AWF21 six-speed automatic transmission is paired with the LR2′s six-cylinder engine. A 6:1 ratio spread (from first to sixth gears) provides excellent acceleration, strong passing performance, and quiet highway cruising with respectable highway mileage. A fully integrated Transmission Control Module offers several maps to optimize shift quality for a multitude of driving modes. In the sport mode, lower gears are held longer and downshifts come quicker. In the CommandShift mode, manual sequential gear changes are available. When various Terrain Response™ programs are selected, the transmission alters its shift characteristics and torque-converter lock-up operation to suit driving conditions. A remote breather attached to the transmission facilitates fording water up to 19.7-inches deep.The LR2′s combination of ample power, sound underpinnings, and all-wheel drive allows it to tow brake-equipped trailers weighing up to 3500 pounds. For trailers lacking brakes, the tow limit is 1650 pounds.

2011 Land Rover LR2 HSE Interior view

The LR2 has an intelligent permanently engaged all-wheel drive system capable of dynamically adjusting torque delivery to suit a wide variety of situations. On a straight paved road, the system routes most of the powertrain’s output to the front wheels. In tough off-road conditions, almost all of the torque can be distributed to the rear wheels, if required. This arrangement is the best of both worlds: minimized frictional losses for optimal fuel efficiency in normal driving plus maximum grip for slippery or trying off-road circumstances.The key element in this system is an electronically controlled center coupling developed cooperatively by Land Rover and Haldex. Linking this device electronically to other vehicle systems enables functions not available with purely mechanical systems. Additional power can be directed towards the rear wheels before the vehicle moves by means of a hydraulic accumulator to minimize wheel spin during aggressive starts. If a loss of traction is detected by wheel-speed sensors, the coupling is able to provide additional torque to the rear wheels within 150 milliseconds or within 15 degrees of slipping-wheel rotation. The coupling’s ability to rapidly disengage torque delivery forestalls any compromise of the stability control system’s operation.

2011 Land Rover LR4

The next year is expected on a market for automobiles to come out the renewable version of Land Roved LR3 – LR4. LR4 is the LR3 with little upgrades. In fact, with little more above. The LR3 is evaluated in its receiver in the face of Land Rover LR4.

In the visual appearance the both of the Land Rover LR3 and LR4, has a little differences. They are in to a new grille in the LR4, front bumper, and headlamps. In the new version – LR4, the headlight for example are with LED lights.

Land Rover LR4 inside

As the materials, the cabin of the vehicle is much more improved. Inside there are ergonomics seats and wheel, that follow every your move. Front and second-row seats are revised and new interior colors are now on the menu.

But there are not the visible and noticeable differences. There are under the hood. Firstly, the tanks are gone is the gas-guzzling underpowered 4.0L V6. The previous V8, a 4.4L unit, has been replaced by a new 5.0L unit that raises power up to near supercharged 4.2L levels previously available with the Range Rovers.

Land Rover LR4 front

Thanks to the horsepower which are 375, the new model of the Land Rover – LR4, accelerated in 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds, only 7 tenths of a second off from the Sport Supercharged. As this powerplant is shared with Jaguar, we can expect a supercharged version in the near future which should develop upwards of 500 hp.

There will be no surprise if there are soon be on the market like the most desirable machine for driving out from the town.
