Here are a bunch of links I’ve been collecting – it’s probably best to just post them all at once.

Check out what these guys are doing to a Defender 110 – Warthog
I had only seen these in old pictures, never realized Land Rover still had them stored somewhere. I wonder what the logistics are like in getting a fleet one of a kind Range Rovers to Portugal.

They also have a review up of the new Range Rover TDV8 for 2011 – they have the first real interior update shots shown that aren’t official Land Rover images.
From the Land Rover UK Flickr account – the worldly camouflaged Evoques:
Just created a Twitter account @OVALNEWS
It will just mirror the posts here and pull in tweets from other Land Rover Twitterers.
Just something I noticed – Land Rover has been using obviously blank space/uneven spacing in a few different places.
Here’s the updated Terrain Response controls for the the coming 2011 Range Rover – why didn’t they just center the icons – is the Range Rover getting the Sport’s Dynamic Response mode? Just seems odd to be so off-center.
Then on the latest iteration of the Land Rover US Website – the home page also has a glaring blank spot.
I realize there isn’t a vehicle available here to fit in there just yet, but why not do a better redesign and spread the items across evenly? All they did was take the UK layout and remove the Defender. I don’t think it would really be that difficult/cost that much to do a slight redesign for one of their biggest markets.

UPDATE: I’ve gotten a few questions as to where these latest images came from – the international version of the Land Rover site is live with the Autobiography Black Limited Edition, as a full model selection on the Range Rover page.
