Land Rover will be celebrating its 40th birthday on June next year with the launch of its “Ace up the sleeve” car LXR. The LXR concept, which was showcased during the 2008 Detroit Auto Show, received critical acclamation. It did look like one of those concepts, which look so futuristic and excess but in the same time checks in with its brand’s legacy.
The production version will preserve most of the concept’s interior and exterior design. In this age of green peace dictation Land Rover is looked up on as nothing less than an agent of mass murder. The LXR might help mend some damage done to the badge. It is comparatively small and hence more fuel efficient. It is designed to be greener from ground up.
The LXR could feature a transverse engine, which will power the front wheel and the rear wheel, the real wheel will also get power from the electric drive rear axle, which will in turn be powered by batteries. The electric drive will be able to push the car up to 20 mph.
The car will be up for sale by 2011 and Since Land Rover is now owned by Tata and Tata already have all the Land Rover models available in India, the LXR will make its way here as well.
