It seems the Land
Rover Defender has been around for as long as some of us have been alive! But
it hasn’t. This impression is of
course given by the fact that in its entire life, the vehicle seems to have kept to exactly the same look. Again,
it hasn’t, but it just looks the same to the untrained eye. With the DC100 Concept, LR wants to break off
from that old image and create a new-generation 4x4.
Aimed at upcoming off-road enthusiasts, the DC100 has been confirmed for introduction in 2015, although it may not look exactly like this model which was
presented at the 2012 Geneva
International Motor Show. It comes with technologies such as an automatic i-Terrain device to assess surface
conditions and respond accordingly, Wade
Aid sonar technology to assess water depth and underwater terrain and a
driver-activated spiked tyre system, deployed at the touch of a button to help
tackle slippery ice and snow.
At the time of its world debut during the 2011 Frankfurt
Motor Show, Gerry McGovern, Director
of Design, Land Rover said: “Replacing the iconic Defender is one of the
biggest challenges in the automotive design
world; it is a car that inspires people worldwide. This isn't a production-ready concept but the
beginning of a four-year journey to design a relevant Defender for the 21st
century.”
