    • @marviwilson1853
      @marviwilson1853 Год назад +9

      Not really. I think all they have done is replace an ic engine with an electric motor and mostly copied the looks and mechanics of a Defender. The next century for 4x4 vehicles is better illustrated with companies like Rivian who make use of the true potential of electric propulsion. Wish them well off course and no doubt it will find a market based on its price.

      I do fully agree. Jaguar/Land Rover has lots of models to cover the luxury SUV demand in the market.
      I do like the new defender....I would love one for everyday life (mostly on road).
      But I do wish they had saved the Defender name to make something like this. Even in limited numbers.
      Ford in my opinion did the same stupid thing with the electric "Mustang". Just using the name to try to increase sales, but taking a piss on the history and heritage.

      In a 'previous life' WAY way back in the late 90s, I was the guy that SOLD the Mountain Rescue teams and power companies their old Defenders...!

    Finally a electric vehicle that’s made for off road

    Very similar to the Ibex from Foers Engineering (who I believe have also developed an electric version).

    OOH! I like! A practical EV, not a sofa on wheels! Just do away with the drive-shafts, diffs, etc, and put a motor in each corner - less to go wrong!

      Depends on your definition of less doesn’t it ? You’re trading a design that has worked since about the dawn of four wheel drive for a set of sensors and a one or more computers and high speed computer code . Stuff that the companies that are developing it are not sharing for free. So add fast computers and complex code to your dream four wheel drive. If was a small Scottish company watching other EV startups going down in flames, I would not tie myself to a software development project , notorious money and time sinks that they are, to get my car company off the ground. I would bolt together stuff that works and is easy to build in small batches now. If I succeeded and grew I might reevaluate my design.

      ​@@francesconicoletti2547 For the purpose it's built, a breakdown in the middle of nowhere should be fixable with rudimentary tools. By the way, I am a software engineer. The problem with software development is that people who don't understand think It's trivial to make it well. You won't put badly made software into machines that can kill people. Typical software today is about 60% marketing hype 40% real engineering.

    The prototype was based on the Ibex 4x4 from Rotherham, so have they design their own new body now? Or is it just running gear?

    Flappy paddles on the steering wheel to switch between gear ratios and forward and back would be useful. Would be good for military covert use as theres going to be very little heat signature and its almost no noise at all. Very Cool.

    I'd like to see an open rear bad too. Sometimes you just want to sling a bale or two of straw on the van without having to manoeuvre them through doors and whatnot.
