It is surprising to know that the Land Rover's inception goes as far back as 1948. Under the Land Rover Company, the SUV was brought on to the road in 1970, then a decade with British Leyland, then to BMW and Ford, and finally taken under the wings of Tata Motors. And since then technology has helped in improvising its looks and performance. The 2008 Land Rover is a classic beauty combining style with ruggedness. A powerful, supercharged 4.2L Jaguar AJ-V8 engine has been fitted to a sleek, all-terrain model.This SUV is more agile being slightly smaller and better at handling corners and rough roads than its previous models. It was the first model to brandish the Dynamic Response System, fitted with intelligence systems for driving on all terrains. The base price is $92,825 with a 4 year/50,000 mile warranty. But flaunting the iconic and stylish SUV both in and out of the busy metro is a cream-licking satisfaction that more than makes up its heavy price tag.
