    Land Rover - no engines by 2031!

    After extensive analysis, I conclude that the 2031 Land Rover Defender will not have an engine*.


    I am not sure if that means it will be discontinued, or will be powered by another source

    Please discuss!

    *Note - data above is for land rover (series/defender shape) production vehicles sold in AU only.

    EDIT - the new (corrected) graph also has engine output/power. This reaches an plateau at ~127 Bhp. So the 2031 Land ROver will have no engine but it will produce 127 Bhp...

    (edited because I think I left out the 2.25 initially...)

    Nah. You've got it wrong. It is not a hyperbolic function, it is linear.

    Well, i;d like to comment, but all of a sudden I got blue spots in front of my eyes, and had to lay down, Bob
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Actually the standard (bell shaped) curve is usually depicted with the tails approching but not equalling zero.



    So your calculations are incorrect on two basic parameters.
    1. The timeframe is wrong, as capacity approaches zero the date will be pushed out towards the mid-century if not further.
    2. The Defender will still have an engine but it will have infinitesimal capacity!
    Where your assumptions err'ed was that Land Rover spontaneously existed in 1948, whereas the Land Rover progenitors go back to the late nineteenth century when the Rover Safety Bicycle did indeed have no engine. The early cars (Rover 8 1904) actually had a 1327cc engine.

    And no diffs,axles and CV joints either.Maybe they'll have an electric motor in each wheel.
    Anyone measured the thickness of the body and chassis metal on the latest offerings? landRovers might also be invisabe by 2031.
    Wagoo.

    Ahhh the old r^2 value!

    What is it you do that requires the use of such graphical expertise?

    New graph added to first post which includes engine power (and because I missed out the 2.25... )

    Ben,
    I just love the cut of your jib

    That is gold. BUT what I find interesting is that the golden child of the 'fender' marque ie mid '80s 3.9L capacity is the outlier. If LR had released the 4BD1 with its true potential output (ie 200+ horsies) your graph would be foobar!

    '10 130 dual cab fender (getting to know it's neurons)
