Land Rover appear to be ever ready to give their veteran Defender model a new lease of life. At Europe’s largest exhibition devoted to hunting, shooting and fishing… the ‘Jagd & Hund’ in Dortmund… the special model dubbed Blaser Edition will have its premiere. This is not only a vehicle which has been given amenities of the highest level but one which has many useful extras on board.
Land Rover have taken their time in developing a descendant of the venerable all-wheel-drive off-roader, the Defender. At the IAA they will finally take the wraps off what may be the next version of this cult model.
Land Rover will terminate production of its boxy but cultish Defender very soon. But even with the bitter end in sight the British are giving the off-roader a facelift.
Loder 1899 changes its tune and goes to work on a Range Rover Evoque. The broad-beamed British lifestyle SUV which finally rolls out of their workshops near Munich goes by the name of the divine Egyptian monarch 'Horus'.
There is no question about it… the new Range Rover Evoque gets people talking. This is even more true when the tuner Startech has done its stuff with the premium compact SUV. With their visual and technical modifications the little Range Rover will turn heads everywhere, not just in the deserts of the Emirates.
Since its debut in 1989 the Land Rover Discovery has built its own 4x4 history. The third generation offroader has to prove its skills in the mountained landscapes of the Dolomites.
