They are bosch autonomous testers i believe, the "badges" are sensors that move up and down on little adjusters no doubt to find the sweet spot. No idea what the do though. Heres spyshot of inside

Being a mod/admin probably doesn't help, might have to see everything

Jaguar Land Rover's survival bid: five new cars in two years | Autocar

Going to be a very busy few years for JLR it seems.

From Land Rover sales brochure...
"There are somethings that will never need improving. The chassis is one of them. Immensely strong, it is probably the single most important component in Defender's design architecture and contributes to the vehicle's strength, versatility, durability and capability."
Oops... that was from the Puma brochure. Similar claims were stated in the brochures for the Td5 and the tdi and the 90-110 models. Someone forgot to tell Gerry McGovern.

That sounds like McGovern speak.

Haha, I think that's been posted before, rings a bell.The world is changing in ways and at a speed that us mere humans cannot predict, manufacturers must adapt or die.

I've heard similar comments made about the D 3/4 chassis.

I’d believe it about the D3/4 though. One of the few cars I know that can get hung up cross axled, without any chassis/body twisting, allowing all the doors to open and close easily.
