Land Rover DC 100 Concept
Land Rover has a long history of delivering capable and premium offroad vehicles. The Range Rover has set the benchmark for premium offroad (now known as SUV) vehicle types. And, the original Land Rover (recently known as 'Defender') has set the benchmark for capable offroad attributes since its inception in 1948.
One thing the Defender isn't is comfortable, stylish, safe or pretty much anything you would use to describe a newly engineered car. Problem is, Land Rover has not been able to identify and produce a replacement vehicle design.
A few years ago Land Rover produced a series of concepts, under the title DC 100 (Defender Concept 100) looking at a modern interpretation of the core Land Rover values: offroad capability & robustness.
The version shown here was a followup concept, based on the three door DC 100 design.
The production version of this vehicle had been due in 2016/17, but at this stage there is no confirmation regarding the vehicle or the production date.
What we are left with are some interesting concepts glimpsing the thoughts of one of the original offroad capable product companies.
