			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s a long title, and a sexy ride &#8211; fans in the UK looking for a smaller, more fuel efficient (and cost efficient) Land Rover rejoice! The 2010 Freelander 2 Sport is headed your way.<span id="more-215"></span> LR&#8217;s Freelander 2 Sport will be powered by a 2.2-liter TD4 diesel engine with 160 horse power/400 Nm of torque. There are no performance specs released as of yet, but an average Land Rover Sport will hit 0 &#8211; 60 in about 10.5 &#8211; 11 seconds, topping out at 112 mph. Not bad for riding on 19-inch diamond-turned alloy wheels. The Sport&#8217;s got a fuel consumption rating of 42.2mpg with the standard six-speed manual, keeping the eco-geeks happy.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.landroverpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/2010-Land-Rover-Freelander-2-Sport-1.jpg" alt="2010 Land Rover Freelander 2 Sport 1" title="2010 Land Rover Freelander 2 Sport 1" width="500" height="333" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-217" /></p>
<p>Both interior and exterior styles are available in two-tone gray/black. Land Rover also offers a sport styling package which includes revised front and rear bumper fascias. We love the interior <em>Sport</em> logos on each head rest.</p>

<p>The Freelander 2 Sport goes on sale in January 2010 with a base price of £26,695.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Until now the STARTECH brand stood globally as a synonym for exclusive tuning for the automobiles from Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep.<span id="more-192"></span> With the world debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show IAA 2009 STARTECH  expands its portfolio with a sophisticated customization program for Jaguar, Land Rover and Range Rover automobiles.<br />
[nggallery id=2]</p>
<p>All STARTECH products are designed and manufactured in accordance with the strict quality guidelines of the ISO 9001 norm, and all are tested and approved by the German Technical Inspection Agency (TÜV).</p>
<p>The STARTECH product lineup for all makes of vehicles comprises the entire palette of professional tuning: Elegant and efficient aerodynamic-enhancement components as well as custom-tailored one-piece or multi-piece STARTECH Monostar light-alloy wheels characterize the outfit of a Jaguar, Land Rover, Range Rover, Jeep, Dodge or Chrysler refined by STARTECH.</p>
<p>To further improve active safety the STARTECH engineers have developed markedly comfortable sport suspensions and lowering kits. They offer more agile handling and easier controllability of the vehicle in extreme situations.</p>
<p>Special emphasis of the STARTECH activities lies on customizing and upgrading the interior. Exclusive accessories such as ergonomically shaped sport steering wheels, polished stainless-steel scuff plates with illuminated STARTECH logo or classy interior completion sets are part of the product lineup as are custom fully leather interiors crafted from especially soft, breathable and yet highly durable leather and Alcantara. Another specialty are exclusive wood inlays that can be manufactured in any desired color using special bleaching and staining techniques. Genuine carbon-fiber trim sets are also available in numerous variations for all models.</p>
<p>STARTECH also offers custom-tailored multimedia systems for all models.</p>
<p>STARTECH Makes the Range Rover Even More Exclusive</p>
<p>Owners of Range Rover vehicles are highly discriminating automotive connoisseurs. They can now find the perfect solutions for customizing their vehicles at STARTECH.</p>
<p>With stylishly integrated LED daytime running lights STARTECH lends the Range Rover an even more striking appearance and further improved active safety. The light inserts come in the same color as the door handles and the front grille, eliminating the need for costly painting.</p>
<p>The new STARTECH Monostar IV light-alloy wheels are another eye catcher. The five-spoke wheels feature a beautiful combination of grey and polished surfaces with a matte lacquer finish. The size 10Jx22 wheels are mounted with high-performance tires in size 295/35 R 22 front and back.</p>
<p>Immediately noticeable in the rear are the dual trapezoidal stainless-steel exhaust tips, which were developed to add some more visual pizzazz to the stock exhaust system.</p>
<p>The STARTECH designers demonstrated their ingenuity in the interior as well. Leather door panels on all four doors in the same color as the production leather complete the leather interior. Special contrast-colored cords create a particularly customized look.</p>
<p>The company upholstery shop fulfills requests for even more customization with entire interiors crafted in any color, upholstery design and from any material imaginable, including exclusive precious wood. Innovative bleaching and staining techniques allow the creation of perfectly matched or stunningly contrasted wood colors with various surface finishes.</p>
<p>The choices are virtually unlimited: The product lineup ranges from an upgrade for the stock wood trim in the form of a precious-wood molding for the center console to complete trim sets made from any desired wood grain or from genuine carbon fiber.</p>
<p>Upon customer request STARTECH transforms the Range Rover into an exclusive office on wheels or into a mobile multimedia lounge with state-of-the-art communication technology.</p>
<p>The development of the STARTECH program for the updated Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles of model year 2010 is already running at full steam. It will include a sporty yet elegant aerodynamic-enhancement kit, custom-tailored 22-inch wheels, suspension modifications and exclusive interiors with fully leather and Alcantara upholsteries and precious-wood inlays in any color and grain, all made exactly to customer&#8217;s specifications.</p>
<p>STARTECH Refines the Land Rover Freelander 2</p>
<p>Following the development and implementation of a globally successful customization program for Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep automobiles STARTECH now also refines British Land Rover and Jaguar vehicles. At the Frankfurt Motor Show IAA 2009 the Land Rover Freelander 2 with STARTECH design celebrates its world debut.</p>
<p>The face of the English SUV receives more character with the sporty yet elegant STARTECH front element with integrated LED daytime running lights. The new front element was designed to attach to the lower part of the production bumper.</p>
<p>The STARTECH attachment for the liftgate continues the contour of the rear bumper across its entire width. The result is an even more balanced rear appearance of the Freelander 2 compared with the production car.</p>
<p>The fully stainless-steel STARTECH sport exhaust system with chrome-plated tailpipes left and right adds yet another visual and acoustic highlight. Custom-tailored versions of the exhaust system are available for all Freelander 2 models.</p>
<p>STARTECH Monostar IV light-alloy wheels give the Freelander 2 an even more refined appearance and increase both driving fun and safety reserves. The one-piece five-spoke wheels in size 9Jx20 are mounted with size 265/45 R 20 tires front and back and make full use of the available space under the wheel arches.</p>
<p>The STARTECH program also offers a multitude of customization options for the interior of the smallest Land Rover model: The company upholstery shop can answer the exclusive requests of any Freelander 2 owner, perfect down to the last detail. The upholsterers masterfully handcraft interiors in any color and upholstery design imaginable. The materials of choice for the exclusive STARTECH interiors are especially soft and breathable leathers and Alcantara.</em></p>

<p>Yes friends, it&#8217;s the small Rover &#8211; Land Rover/Range Rover LRX is coming in all its two-door might.<span id="more-181"></span> The LRX Coupe Concept was officially released today, and frankly we&#8217;re impressed. It will be interesting to see Land Rover tackle this 2-door world in this day &amp; age. LRX stays in tune with the new-age design of most Range Rovers, no word yet on an interior or what&#8217;s under her hood. Check out the full press release below.</p>
<p><em> Small Range Rover confirmed for production</em></p>
<p><em> Gaydon, Warwickshire, 24 September 2009 – Land Rover has confirmed today a production version of its exciting LRX concept car will be built. The new car will debut next year and join the Range Rover line-up in 2011.</em></p>
<p><em> Designed and engineered at Land Rover&#8217;s state of the art Gaydon facility, the new Range Rover will be the smallest, lightest and most efficient vehicle the company has ever produced.</em></p>
<p><em> The new car will be built at the multi award-winning plant in Halewood, on Merseyside, subject to quality and productivity agreements and will be sold in over 100 countries around the world.</em></p>
<p><em> Phil Popham, managing director of Land Rover said: &#8220;The production of a small Range Rover model is excellent news for our employees, dealers and customers. It is a demonstration of our commitment to investing for the future, to continue to deliver relevant vehicles for our customers, with the outstanding breadth of capability for which we are world-renowned.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em> &#8220;Feedback from our customer research also fully supports our belief that a production version of the LRX Concept would further raise the desirability of our brand and absolutely meet their expectations.&#8221; Phil added.</em></p>
<p><em> Gerry McGovern, Land Rover design director said &#8220;The new vehicle will be a natural extension to the Range Rover line-up, complementing the existing models and helping to define a new segment. It will be true to the concept and have many recognizable Range Rover design cues including the signature clamshell bonnet, the floating roof and the solid &#8216;wheel-at-each-corner&#8217; stance.&#8221; More details of the new small Range Rover will be released next year.</em></p>

<p>Who doesn&#8217;t love a tease? Land Rover is presenting a Holland &amp; Holland Range Rover edition &#8211; but they&#8217;re only showing off teaser images for now.<span id="more-148"></span> All you&#8217;ll see are concept drawings and a covered mock up of 2010&#8242;s Range Rover, which was the basis for this Holland &amp; Holland Edition. So, who exactly are Holland &amp; Holland&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-150" title="holland-range-rover-1" src="http://www.landroverpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/holland-range-rover-1.jpg" alt="holland-range-rover-1" width="565" height="284" /></p>
<p><em>Holland &amp; Holland are bespoke sporting gun and rifle makers, founded in London in 1835 by Harris Holland, who was later joined by his nephew Henry to create the eponymous brand. </em> Overfinch,  in charge of this vehicle and all its performance beauty, is a high-end luxury sports car builder. Details are limited, the teaser image suggests the SUV will feature an exclusive four-seat arrangement, including a refrigerated console dividing the two rear seats. In the cargo compartment, a massive wood chest with pull out drawers has been installed. Fans of Special Edition Range Rovers such as this will have to wait until September for an official unveiling. Check out the full press release below.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-151" title="holland-range-rover-tease1" src="http://www.landroverpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/holland-range-rover-tease1.jpg" alt="holland-range-rover-tease1" width="565" height="227" /></p>
<p><em><strong>Holland &amp; Holland Range Rover by Overfinch announced</strong></em></p>
<ul>
<li><em>The most luxurious and exclusive off-roader ever &#8211; only one hundred to be made</em></li>
<li><em>Based on 2010 MY 503 bhp supercharged or TDV8 Range Rover Autobiography</em></li>
<li><em>Interior and exterior enhancements designed and manufactured in conjunction with Holland &amp; Holland</em></li>
<li><em>To be launched at the Holland &amp; Holland Shooting Grounds on Wednesday September 23rd</em></li>
</ul>
<p><em>It was announced simultaneously today at the Game Fair and Salon Privé that Holland &amp; Holland, makers of the world&#8217;s finest sporting guns and Overfinch, designers and manufacturers of exclusive Range Rover enhancements since 1975, are joining forces to create the ultimate luxury off-roader.</em></p>
<p><em>The Holland &amp; Holland Range Rover was conceived with a single intention: to create an all purpose, all season, luxury supercar for the discerning few. Designers and engineers at both Holland &amp; Holland and Overfinch have worked together to create a car that embodies Holland &amp; Holland&#8217;s unique sporting heritage and Overfinch&#8217;s bespoke craftsmanship. The result is a quintessentially English take on luxury.</em></p>
<p><em>Based on either the 5.0 litre 503 bhp Supercharged or TDV8 versions of the new 2010 MY car, the Holland &amp; Holland Overfinch features a raft of enhancements that make it unmistakably something very special.</em></p>
<p><em>Daryl Greatrex, Managing Director of Holland &amp; Holland, said, &#8220;Holland &amp; Holland is globally synonymous with both luxury and supreme functionality. To look at, to handle and shoot with a Holland &amp; Holland is to appreciate 174 years of using the best craftsmanship and technology to make things work supremely well and look even better. It&#8217;s ten years since we had a Holland &amp; Holland Range Rover and we decided that working with Overfinch was the only way to do it this time. Over the years it has become clear that what AMG is to Mercedes and Alpina is to BMW, so Overfinch is to Range Rover.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>Neil Underwood, Chief Operating Officer of Overfinch added, &#8220;There has always been a great deal of talk in the media, speculating that Range Rovers could start approaching Bentley levels of luxury &#8211; for one hundred fortunate customers, that will now become a reality. We have worked closely with designers, engineers and the quite astonishing craftsmen of Holland &amp; Holland, who have helped us create the most exclusive, most luxurious off-roader ever built.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>Overfinch is a design-led engineering company that has over the last 34 years built a luxury brand. Based in Farnham, Surrey, they operate on five continents and are the originators of the performance Range Rover. It was in 1975, only a few years after the Range Rover was launched, that Schuler (later to become Overfinch) built their first high performance derivative.</em></p>
<p><em>During that time, their in house design and engineering departments have enjoyed a close working relationship with Land Rover, starting with the development of the first ever automatic Range Rover and notably including a Paris Dakar win on behalf of Land Rover France in 1981.</em></p>
<p><em>Overfinch are the only company in the world building bespoke Range Rovers as their sole business.</em></p>
<p><em>Holland &amp; Holland are bespoke sporting gun and rifle makers, founded in London in 1835 by Harris Holland, who was later joined by his nephew Henry to create the eponymous brand. They are the most famous gun makers in the world, being the first choice of virtually every royal family and are holders of royal warrants from HRH the Duke of Edinburgh and HRH the Prince of Wales.</em></p>
<p><em>Holland &amp; Holland&#8217;s factory on the Harrow Road was purpose built for them over a hundred years ago and is home to a quality of time-honoured craftsmanship virtually unique in the twenty first century. Skills are often handed down from father to son but, despite that, it takes five years of training to become and Holland &amp; Holland craftsman.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Land Rover may have the perception to be some sort of luxury SUV &#8211; but before the days of Range Rover there was the Defender. Now, LR is heading back to basics with their mountain trekking Defender &#8211; Fire &amp; Ice Edition.<span id="more-129"></span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-132" title="land_rover_defender_fireice-1" src="http://www.landroverpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/land_rover_defender_fireice-1.jpg" alt="land_rover_defender_fireice-1" width="560" height="329" /></p>
<p><em>While most of the world&#8217;s most hard-core off-roaders – Toyota Land Cruiser, Mercedes G-Wagen, Hummer H2 – have all gone luxed-out, the Defender soldiers on as the bare-bones option. Essentially the same body-on-frame design from 1948, the Defender is still hand-assembled. But what&#8217;s Land Rover to do when the market demands luxury? Lux out the Defender, of course.</em></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-133" title="land_rover_defender_fire_ice_02" src="http://www.landroverpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/land_rover_defender_fire_ice_02.jpg" alt="land_rover_defender_fire_ice_02" width="560" height="260" /></p>
<p><em>The limited-production Fire &amp; Ice editions come packed with all the features they could fit in the Defender: Recaro buckets, leather and Alcantara trim, diamond-turned alloys, color-coded head- and tail- lights, glass sunroof panel, running boards and more. The Fire edition comes in a special Vesuvius Orange metallic paint, the Ice edition in Alaska white, both offset by Santorini black accents. All that kit drives the price of the special Land Rover up to €68,400, the equivalent of about $95,000. Just 850 examples will be on offer in various markets across Europe, China and in South Africa. Check out the high-res images in the gallery below for all the angles.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s official &#8211; according to Land Rover and CarPages.co.uk &#8211; <em>Land Rover is proud to announce its support of the British &#038; Irish Lions in a deal that will see the iconic 4&#215;4 manufacturer installed as the &#8216;Official Vehicle of the British &#038; Irish Lions 2009&#8242; for their eagerly anticipated summer Tour of South Africa.</em><span id="more-117"></span> </p>
<p><em>Through the agreement, the British &#038; Irish Lions will benefit from the provision of a fleet of Land Rover&#8217;s supremely capable Discovery 3 vehicles for use during the UK-based preparations and throughout the two months of the Tour in South Africa. The vehicles will provide an essential role transporting the players, support staff and kit in comfort.</p>
<p>John Feehan, Chief Executive, British &#038; Irish Lions, commented on the deal, &#8220;We are delighted to have this support from Land Rover. Acquiring the backing of such a reputable supplier, that will be an undoubted asset to the squad and our Tour, has been very important to us.&#8221;</p>
<p>Land Rover has a long established relationship with the British &#038; Irish Lions team, providing vehicles for both the 2001 and 2005 Tours to Australia and New Zealand respectively. Land Rover&#8217;s continued sponsorship reinforces its commitment to the game of rugby.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are extremely pleased to be supporting the team yet again throughout this exciting tour both in the UK and in South Africa,&#8221; comments Phil Popham, Land Rover managing director. &#8220;Our commitment to rugby now covers all levels of the game, from supporting the elite of the British &#038; Irish Lions team to the young players of the future. There is a natural synergy with the sport that reflects our brand&#8217;s &#8216;Go Beyond&#8217; spirit. We wish the team the best of luck in South Africa and hope that they come back victorious.&#8221;</p>
<p>Land Rover&#8217;s existing support of the sport encompasses the international, domestic and grassroots elements of the game. It is the Official Vehicle of England Rugby and Premier Rugby as well as the sponsor of a new U11 and U12&#8242;s national tournament, The Land Rover Premiership Cup.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.worldcarfans.com/9090225.014/rendered-speculation-next-generation-range-rover">Worldcarfans</a> and Avarvarii have come up with an artist rendering on what they speculate could be the next generation in design of Range Rover models.<span id="more-79"></span> Land Rover doesn&#8217;t update their look too often, so this may be cause for celebrations. More below in the WCF blog.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-82" title="next-generation-range-rover-artists-rendering" src="http://www.landroverpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/next-generation-range-rover-artists-rendering.jpg" alt="next-generation-range-rover-artists-rendering" width="550" height="350" /></p>
<p><em>Land Rover tends to take its time when it comes to replacing models. This applies especially to the Range Rover lineup. The current car was first introduced in 2002 and since face lifted versions are still being tested. It&#8217;s not expected to debut anytime soon.</em></p>
<p><em>This rendering represents an idea of what the artist feels could be the next Range Rover. The basis is obviously the LRX Concept car which made its world debut at Geneva a year ago. With current buzzwords like ‘lightweight&#8217; and ‘economy&#8217; taking the front seat at the expense of words like ‘massive&#8217; and ‘power&#8217;, the rendering focuses on the supposed use of lightweight materials.</em></p>
<p><em>Aerodynamics is important so the design is geared towards an SUV that cuts through the air as quickly and efficiently as possible. The use of LED lights will be as widespread as xenon technology within the next 10 years. Designers find it easy to work with LEDs because the diodes are flexible and give them lots of liberties with design. For this piece of art the artist has decided to keep the Range&#8217;s classic lines as a way of preserving some of what we know as cars for future generations to marvel at. Nothing was said of the powertrain but something like a hybrid or a full-on electric drive system would be the one used.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Want to make your Range Rover Sport a little more tougher and a lot beefier? Sure, we all do.<span id="more-72"></span> Luckily British Tuners Concept802 is taking luxury SUV&#8217;s to a new level with their wide &#8220;Platinum R&#8221; body kit. Concept802 founder Barry Graham says anyone who does business with his company would get only the perfect product from a team of experienced engineers and experts.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-75" title="range-rover-sport-platinum-r" src="http://www.landroverpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/range-rover-sport-platinum-r-by-concept802.jpg" alt="range-rover-sport-platinum-r" width="550" height="413" /></p>
<p>Your personalized Platinum R Range Rover Sport is fitted with wide body arching side skirts, front and rear bumpers, a new front grill, side vents and Concept802 exhaust tips. The wheels are Concept802&#8242;s very own V2 three piece alloy wheels with a deep dish design, with sizes ranging from 19-inch to 24-inch.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-76" title="range-rover-sport-concept802" src="http://www.landroverpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/range-rover-sport-platinum-r-by-concept802_1.jpg" alt="range-rover-sport-concept802" width="550" height="400" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Visitors to the London International Boat Show were a little confused at the sight of a Range Rover concept floating around &#8211; well not literally. <span id="more-68"></span>But Land Rover took the opportunity to impress yacht shoppers with a limited edition Range Rover Sport Stormer Edition.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.landroverpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/bigboat.jpg" alt="boat" /></p>
<p>Oops, that&#8217;s not it&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.landroverpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/range-rover-sport-stormer-edition.jpg" alt="Range Rover Sport Stormer Edition" /></p>
<p>That&#8217;s better &#8211; The Stormer Edition is a pumped up Range Rover Sport TDV6 S. It features a 2.7 liter twin-turbo V6 diesel with 190 horse power and 324 lb-ft of torque. So what makes it so special that only 300 models will be produced? First off is the added Luxury factor, with leather seating, Park Distance Control and  Personal Telephone Integration. So get ready to sync up your iPhone with your Range Rover! Outside you will find a more sculpted front and rear grill design, mapping out strong right angles in three different colors &#8211; Santorini Black, Alaska White and Stornoway Grey. Fancy, eh? Just be prepared to shell out £43,550 for one.</p>
