Land Rover Celebrates 65 Years Of Technology And Innovation With Defender LXV Special Edition!
The desire to create a vehicle that will tackle any terrain has
been at the forefront of the Land Rover brand since the foundations
were first sketched in the sand by Maurice Wilks. This principle
has subsequently made Land Rover famous around the world since
production began in 1948. 'HUE 166' was the very first Series I
Land Rover, affectionately known by many as 'Huey', and will be on
prominent display at the event.
The occasion also set the scene for the debut of a Special
Edition Defender - the LXV (65 in roman numerals). Defender evolved
from the original Land Rover in 1990 and this iconic family of
utility vehicles - Land Rover Series I, II, III and Defender - has
now sold in excess of two million units. Available in five
different body styles, the LXV is based on the standard Land Rover
Defender which is equipped with the 2.2-litre diesel engine and
6-speed manual transmission, producing 122PS@3,500rpm of power and
360Nm@2,000rpm of torque.
This striking Special Edition sports 16-inch Sawtooth alloy
wheels and comes in Santorini Black or Fuji White with contrast
Corris Grey roof, grille and headlight surrounds and facia. The
interior boasts exclusive full leather seats with LXV embossed
front headrests and unique orange contrast stitching on the seats,
steering wheel and centre cubby compartment to complement exterior
LXV decals. An optional union flag decal can be located on the rear
of the vehicle. Prices will be available in August.
Around 150 heritage Land Rovers are attending the celebratory
event at Packington Estate which was the testing ground for the
original 1947-48 Land Rover prototypes through to the Range Rover
development vehicles of the late 1960's and early 70's. These
vehicles showcase key milestones in Land Rover's 65-year history
and also some 4x4 world firsts such as anti-lock brakes, adjustable
air suspension, Electronic Traction Control, Hill Descent Control,
Terrain Response® and Stop/Start technologies.
The vehicles on display demonstrate Land Rover's legendary
breadth of capability, with ploughing, emergency service, military,
expedition, royal and concept vehicles all firmly positioning Land
Rover as the world's most versatile vehicle. They sit alongside
Land Rover's current model line-up - the Defender, Discovery,
Freelander, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Evoque -
and include the brand's latest technological innovations in the
form of the new Electric Defender research vehicle and the world's
first 9-speed transmission for a passenger car.
John Edwards, Land Rover's Global Brand Director says: "Land
Rover is celebrating 65 years of proud heritage. It is in fact a
dual celebration, as March saw Land Rover deliver the strongest
ever monthly and quarterly sales performance in its history.
"Since 1948, every component in our vehicles has been designed
and engineered with intent and Land Rover continues to this day, to
build the world's most capable all-purpose vehicles. A blend of
refinement, performance and unmatched all-terrain capability make
Land Rover vehicles distinctive and unique, ready to tackle the
world's most challenging and inhospitable terrain."
John Edwards continues: "The all-new Range Rover and Range Rover
Sport are the result of unprecedented investment in technology, in
engineering and in our manufacturing facilities to produce the
world's first SUVs with a lightweight aluminium body structure.
Investing in innovation has always been the lifeblood of Land Rover
and we will continue to develop innovative new technology and
sustainable motoring solutions for the future, whilst retaining the
class-leading and legendary breadth of capability that Land Rover's
heritage is built upon."

How Would You Configure The 2014 Range Rover Sport?
After seeing the pre-show unveiling of the 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport (with a brief appearance by Daniel Craig), and then getting a bit more intimate with it, we're pretty keen on the new Sport.
It's lighter, more modern-looking, and still exceptionally well-finished, inside and out.
The new Range Rover Sport also gets a supercharged V-6 as the base engine now, generating 340 horsepower.
But the real question is: What would make for the best configuration of the new Sport?
Would you opt for a base engine and load up on the interior options? Go
for a supercharged V-8 engine, but skip the extra add-ons? Or go
full-tilt with an Autobiography build?
Pricing ranges from an entry point of $63,495 on up to more than $93,295.
For us, the sweet spot might just be the Range Rover Sport HSE in
Santorini Black with Corris Grey panoramic roof, Dark Grey oak veneers
and Ebony/Cirrus seats and upholstery, standard 60/40 split-folding rear
seats, the Vision and Convenience package plus the Front Climate
Comfort and Visibility Package, Meridian Premium Audio package, Adaptive
Cruise Control, and the Extra Duty Package, for a grand total of
$77,880.
Breaking that down, it's $9,385 in options on top of the HSE V-6 Supercharged base price of $68,495.

New Land Rover Ambassador Kenton Cool On Top Of The World!
Kenton Cool, one of the world's most accomplished mountaineers,
is partnering with Land Rover as the latest ambassador for the
brand. His exceptional climbing feats and ground breaking use of
latest technologies are perfectly in tune with the Above and Beyond
spirit of adventure that is part of the Land Rover ethos.
Cool takes on this role as preparations for his next major
expedition reach their final stages. At the end of April he will
return to Everest with a mission to be the first person to host a
Google Hang-out live call from the summit. Cool is no stranger to
what is one of the remotest and challenging places on the planet;
this will be his 11th Everest climb.
Land Rover has supported Cool in this current ambition by
providing a Range Rover Evoque as the support vehicle for him and
his team, taking them to the ice climbing training region in Arctic
Norway earlier this year.
The Range Rover Evoque proved its mettle in near blizzard
treacherous conditions, as Cool explained: "As part of the team's
training we went to the Lyngen Alps, Norway with the intention to
climb previously unchartered routes, which were by their very
nature off the beaten track. The Range Rover Evoque truly came into
its own. By using the Terrain Response® snow and gravel
mode I had the confidence to go as close to the edge of the
mountain as possible enabling the team to make the most of the
short daylight hours to climb. This is critical in our preparation
plans to conquer Everest.
"The studded tyres gripped like spilt honey does to the floor,
and no amount of playing with the wheel and controls could get the
car to lose traction for more than an instant. At the end of each
day the team were exhausted, having climbed for hours in
temperatures of -15oC. Returning to the Evoque was such
a welcome sight, extremely comfortable and easily coping with four
exhausted climbers loaded with ice climbing kit. It really was a
site for sore eyes."
Cool adds: "I have to admit that the team did fight over who
would drive, especially when I let slip about the heated steering
wheel. Ice climbing can be brutal on the fingers, climbers call it
'Hot Aches', a searing pain that occurs when the fingers get
seriously cold then warm up, wrapping cold hands around the heated
steering wheel was heaven.
"However, one of the best things about the Range Rover Evoque
was the panoramic glass roof which enabled us to catch our first
glimpse of the Northern Lights. I had never experienced the Lights
before and we watched this spectacular show from the best seat in
the world."
Mark Cameron, Land Rover Brand Experience Director, Global
Marketing said: "We are delighted to have Kenton Cool as an
ambassador for Land Rover, his skill, bravery and amazing
achievements are a great reflection of the kind of spirit that is
at the heart of our brand.
"His latest plan to host a Google Hang-out on the peak of
Everest adds an extra dimension to the climb that promises to
engage thousands of people around the world using the latest
communications technology. Land Rover is delighted to be able to
support him in this great adventure."
