Land Rover Confirms All-New Defender Concept for Frankfurt Motor Show 2011

 

The Land Rover DC100, a modern interpretation of the iconic Land Rover Defender will make its debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.

 Land Rover also confirms today, that production of a new Defender is intended for 2015.

 Commenting on the Land Rover DC100 concept car, 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."

 John Edwards, Global Brand Director, Land Rover added: "Loved the world over for its simple, honest and distinctive design, we are determined that the new Defender will be true to its heritage, while meeting the requirements of a changing global market.  

 We plan to engage with existing and potential customers to help us finalise the details of the new vehicle.  One thing's for sure, it's going to be an exciting journey, and we can't wait to get going."

The Land Rover DC100 concept builds upon the essential elements of the car’s character and allows Land Rover to open the debate and inspire people to dream about the Defenders of the future. The next chapter in the Defender story will unfold at  09:15 hrs (CET) on September 13, 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

I'd like to see that put to use by a farmer/ utility company and see how long it lasted.

Hi All, First post.

That can't really be the replacement for the Defender - recently changed my double cab and tilt for the 'RAC van' - D3 G4 BD08VRX.

Why not come to our hill farm to give it a try - we have a few serious slopes.

Regards,

Welcome to the Tangiers side!  So what area of the country are you based in?

Hi Alan,

I'm a valleys Butty - but not a sheepxxxxxxx.  Home is Wattsville, near Crosskeys - Newport, Gwent.

Got home from Eastnor a bit earlier on - had a fantastic time there. Took my machine and 'snap', they had a D3 G4 '08 on display there.

Hope to meet up with you guys soon.

 Can anyone tell me how to get hold of the Red Cross / Red Crescent logo that was on the display car ?? That would complete mine.
