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)
