The Range Rover for 2006 features two new petrol engines ? including a powerful supercharged 4.2-litre ? and a profusion of new technology.
The Range Rover for 2006 gains two powerful, Jaguar-derived petrol engines, which offer more performance and are predicted to have better fuel economy than the single outgoing V8 petrol. Now heading the line-up is a supercharged 287kW 4.2-litre engine, with maximum torque of 550Nm. It offers over 35 percent more power than the outgoing V8, over 25 percent more torque ? which contributes to more refined driving ? and is projected to be around 7.62 seconds faster from 0-100km/h.
The new, naturally aspirated 220kW and 425Nm 4.4-litre V8 is also quicker and more powerful than the outgoing V8. The 0-100km/h acceleration time is projected to be around 8.93 seconds faster and maximum power is increased by 15kW.

Brookwell Supplies is proud to announce that we will be attending the LRO Show on Stand A3A, the show is to be held on the Bank Holiday Weekend of the 26th, 27th and 28th of August 2005.

This is the biggest event on the Land Rover show calendar which attracts on average 31,000 visitors every year. The Three Counties Showground is easily accessible from anywhere in the country - just 8 miles from the M5 and M50 motorways.

It will be a real pleasure to meet our customers face to face rather than on the end of a phone, come along to the stand and say hello as we will be organising giveaways throughout the show.

Land Rover has introduced two new versions of the Freelander described as ‘Definitive Editions’ - presumably because they will be the last before the Freelander gets replaced in 2006.

The ‘Adventurer’ derivative includes air-conditioning, front sports seats, 16″ alloy wheels, alarm and front fog lights, with prices starting from ?17,300. The Freelander ‘Freestyle’ model has, in addition, 17″ alloy wheels, park distance control, heated front seats, six CD auto changer and powerfold mirrors, with prices from ?19,300.

In addition, enhanced features will also be included on the Sport derivative. Privacy glass, roof rails, 18″ alloy wheels, heated front seats and leather/Alcantara seats are now fitted as standard, with prices from ?21,600.

The West Midlands car maker Land Rover is cutting production of its new Freelander model - because its engine was produced by MG Rover.
The company is planning to limit sales of the vehicle to the United States so it uses up remaining stocks of the engine more slowly.

Land Rover says it will cut a shift from the Freelander production line in early July.

Three hundred agency workers are expected lose their jobs as a result.

LANHAM, Md.

MOVIEGOERS are sitting through repeated viewings of the final “Star Wars” installment, trying to fathom their hero’s unfathomable transformation from Anakin Skywalker, handsome good guy, into Darth Vader, disfigured villain. At Land Rover, an equally extreme mutation has occurred in the other direction: the coarse and disagreeable Discovery has evolved into a gracefully refined new vehicle, the LR3.

The Disco made sense mainly for hard-core off-roaders. As spry as a goat in the mountains and as hardy as a camel in the desert, it was often beastly in civilized surroundings. All the while, it treated its occupants with the delicacy of a police van, inflicting punishment even before charges were leveled or a verdict was rendered.

REACHING parts of North Devon that other police vehicles can’t reach, a brand new Land Rover is the very latest addition to the fleet - courtesy of Winstone Pincombe Land Rovers of Chulmleigh.

As part of a two-year corporate sponsorship deal, the TD5 Short Wheel based Landrover will be based in South Molton for the first six months to enable to officers to reach remote areas of Exmoor.

It will then be swapped with the police force’s own Land Rover Discovery in Lynton, before returning to South Molton next summer.

BIRMINGHAM, England ? Land Rover is working on a small car-based SUV that would become a new entry-level model below the Freelander, according to U.K. press reports.

British magazine Autocar reported “insiders at Land Rover” confirmed that a design team was working on a car-based model but had not yet persuaded Ford’s management to build it.

“We have to make a business case for a new model,” the source was quoted. “Land Rover has to prove that the investment by Ford over the past five years is paying off.”

Insiders at Land Rover have confirmed to Autocar that a design team is working on a car-based model. ?We have to make a business case for a new model,? said our source. ?This is a relatively complicated process, as Land Rover has to prove that the investment by Ford over the past five years is paying off.?

Despite the hurdles that the Solihull-based company has to clear, the new car could be seen as a concept in the near future. And if the baby Land Rover does appear in the spotlights at a major motor show, we can be sure Ford has given the idea the green light. But the project would be a substantial development effort by Land Rover?s engineering team, making a launch unlikely before late 2007.

Two new ‘Definitive Edition’ Land Rover Freelander models, ‘Adventurer’ and ‘Freestyle’, are introduced to the 2006 model year range and are on-sale now.

The new Freelander range offers a higher level of specification on both 3 and 5 door models, with the ‘Adventurer’

derivative boasting standard features that include air-conditioning, front sports seats, 16″ alloy wheels, alarm and front fog lights, and available from ?17,300.
The Freelander ‘Freestyle’ model has in addition, 17″ alloy wheels, park distance control, heated front seats, six CD auto changer, mud flaps, powerfold mirrors and glass roof panels (3 door only), and is available from ?19,300.
