Default LR to use e-Terrain system electric rear engine

http://news.marathonrally.com/index.3668.0.html

Looks like LR will be using an electric engine in conjunction with a bio-diesel capable engine to maximize efficiancy and capability. Pretty interesting.

You've got to be kidding me.

Land Rover can't make a car that the electric windows work in and they're trying to do this? Good friggin' luck!

I am looking forward to LR bringing over diesles. Not too keen on the idea of an electric engine but as long as there's a power plant that keeps the rover moving forward I guess it will do.
Imagine raiding McDonalds to power your rover.

LR has some information on their web page, www.landrover.com seems like a concept car thing at present but worth keeping an eye on. I wonder if we'll see any of this on the new Defender.
