John Edwards Announces Launch Of Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations

There’s been a lot of talk about Special Operations, Engineered to Order and Individual Products Division over the past year.  This was the first time I remember them talking about the Heritage section.  I realize how this related to Jaguar but will this also include Land Rover?  That’s my question.

    2014 Range Rover – Reverse Traffic Detection

    Reverse Traffic Detection (RTD) does a great job at alerting the driver if a car perpendicular to you is approaching quickly – very handy when backing out of a parking spot when you can’t fully see what’s coming in either direction.  The red indicator in the image above appears over the reverse camera display along with an audio alert and flashing Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) indicators in the side view mirrors.
