Thread: Won’t be retro...

Land Rover reveals Ingenium straight-six powerplant

Petrol and diesel variants will share common components, and it has regen braking to technically qualify as hybrid.

Seems like a good candidate for the new defender- surely!

I notice there are over a thousand posts now in this thread alone, based partly on some deliberately leaked photos from JLR. I think the score is JLR marketing team: 1 , the rest of us : 0

in the same way as Smokers are now. Its not illegal but those that do its have no concern about their health nor those that they expose the second hand smoke to.

This is AULRO, we are nuts for it here. We don't need JLRs marketing team to turn our attention.

AULRO 99 , JLR marketing team 1

negative, JLR's marketing has lost me as a future customer, ever .

If they had shown actual pre production images and specs it would have worked better for them.

Some people won't sit near a smoker for fear of death. Then go camping and breath in a roaring camp fire all night.

That wont work, If its got regen braking where is the power going to go, Once the small battery is full regen stops working.
