After 6 months of no press events, best line from a journalist colleague at end of Defender US media drive night 1 socially-distant dinner (everyone has own table): “I forgot what it’s like to be this full”. Indeed. @WillSCourtney @joshrubin 🍔🍷🎂🍽
From Jaguar Land Rover’s first female chief engineer in 2015 to vehicle programme quality director in 2020, nothing gets in the way of Coventry-born Danella Bagnall who wins the #AutocarGreatWomen award for Vehicle Development.
Time to extend the #Defender line up. First up, order books open for the 90. Had this sweet satin sliver pre-production one last week. 3-door, 400PS petrol, short-wheel-base, canvas roof on 20s. 100% my next car @LandRover
Land Rover Defender Gets New Plug-In Hybrid And Diesel Variants | Carscoops https://www.carscoops.com/2020/09/land-rover-defender-gets-new-plug-in-hybrid-and-diesel-variants/#.X1hDSyIEnK8.twitter
Intelligent Glass Control uses special films, which are inserted into the glass that change their transparency through electric control signals. This allows all car windows to be darkened with the touch of a button. This works in a very selective and incremental way. You can trigger individual windows and you can also determine the degree of darkening, so to say you can dim your windows. This not only offers increased comfort for passengers, but also makes driving safer. A typical example is a low sun on the horizon. The driver’s hand goes from the steering wheel to the sun visor. This causes not only impaired visibility but also a brief decrease in control of the vehicle. In the future such situations can be detected in advance, and the windows could darken automatically before the event even occurs.
