Land Rover has given a glimpse of a range of new technologies it is considering for use on its DC100 Concept Defender replacement, slated for launch in 2015/16, as well as other models in its line-up. The aim is to reduce the challenges inherent in on-road/off-road vehicle design, such as traction-enhancing attributes, long wheel travel, high ground clearance and soft suspension, which are compromised in the interests of on-road ride and handling. “The original Defender had adaptability and versatility,” says Mike Boyd, Land Rover's chassis and vehicle research manager, “and we want to keep that, but with 365 days’ useability.” The idea is that the basic vehicle can be up-rated with plug-in advanced systems. Chief amongst these will be an enhanced version of Land Rover’s Terrain Response system, which takes the normal inputs of drag, slip, boulder-strewn landscape, for example. the vehicle that is the key to making this suspension movement and steering angle, Another development is using sound work.” Land Rover is also working with three engine and road speed, and uses a probability navigation and ranging (sonar) to predict the tyre suppliers on the development of a range matrix in the software to estimate what the depth of water as the vehicle enters it. This of new tyres, including airless, self inflating surface is and the best combination of engine, would enable the systems to prepare the and tyres that can pneumatically deploy transmission and suspension settings to vehicle for fording by raising the suspension or spikes. The auto spike versions carry ice traverse it. “This is a patented Land Rover adjusting its attitude, for example.

Ultimately, a twin camera set up at the warn if the water is too deep. The company is also contemplating a front of the vehicle could even predict the “Wadeaid software detects the attitude sophisticated, twin clutch-based freewheel surface before the vehicle arrives on it and of the vehicle and depth of the water,” he system, which would isolate drive to the rear advise the driver how best to steer through a explains, adding: “It is detecting the attitude of axle and its propshaft at steady speeds on a Ford slashes development costs Under the show’s bloodsucking lighting, Ford's new Escape looked boxily anodyne. That ‘bold’ front seems as bold as a Walmart shopping trip, but the company is clear about the savings it has made, combining the development of two vehicles – the North American Escape and European Kuga – into one. Both vehicles share almost everything and, according to Martin Smith, executive design director of Ford of Europe, only small trim changes will denote the Kuga version, which debuts at next year’s Geneva Show. of prototypes we have to build.

If you remember watching the original series of the ‘The Flintstones’ – the cartoon not the execrable movie – you’re officially old, and you’ll definitely be able to sing the first few bars of the theme song. It’s part of our cultural DNA, and far catchier than our national anthem. The funniest thing about the show probably was the car, commonly known as the Flintmobile, which ran on two feet and a heartbeat, if you were alone, but could get up more speed depending how many friends you could jam in. Although it’s never mentioned by the characters, from the look of those stone wheels the quality of the ride must have been appalling. However, there’s no denying its bottomless, engineless construction was an admirably simple piece of engineering, and it was roomy too. It may have escaped your memory that, in the opening credits, the car manages to carry four adults, two children, a pet dinosaur and a sabre-toothed tiger to the drive-in for the evening, although with disastrous results for the roof lining.
