== Concepts == [[Range Stormer]] β Land Rover's first [[concept car|concept vehicle]], unveiled at the 2004 [[North American International Auto Show]], later became the [[Range Rover Sport]]. (Gritzinger, 2004). [[Land Rover LRX]] β Land Rover's second concept vehicle, first unveiled at the [[Detroit Auto Show|2008 Detroit Auto Show]]. Originally a vehicle with ERAD technology, the production version did not include this. The car was then launched in 2011 as the [[Range Rover Evoque]], and was the first Range Rover branded product to be offered with front wheel drive, and no low ratio transfer box. [[Land Rover DC100]] β Land Rover's third concept vehicle, first unveiled at the [[Frankfurt Auto Show|2011 Frankfurt Auto Show]], designed to be a replacement for the [[Land Rover Defender]], though it is unlikely that the Defender's replacement will be exactly the same as the DC100 concept. Land Rover Discovery Vision Concept β Land Rover's fourth concept vehicle, first unveiled at the [[New York Auto Show|2014]], was designed to be a replacement for the [[Land Rover Discovery]], This concept features Transparent Bonnet, Suicide doors, and Laser assisted lamps (there is a very little chance this will be included in any future production vehicles). === Military === Models developed for the UK [[Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom)|Ministry of Defence]] (MoD) include: * [[Land Rover 101 Forward Control|101 Forward Control]] β also known as the "Land Rover One Tonne FC" * [[Land Rover 1/2 ton Lightweight|1/2 ton Lightweight]] β airportable military short-wheelbase from the Series 2a * [[Land Rover Wolf]] β an uprated Military Defender * [[Snatch Land Rover]] β Land Rover with composite armoured body in UK Armed Forces Service * 109 Series IIa and III ambulance (body by [[Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group|Marshalls of Cambridge]]) * Range Rover '6Γ6' Fire Appliance (conversion by Carmichael and Sons of Worcester) for RAF airfield use * 130 Defender ambulance * [[Land Rover Llama|'Llama']] prototypes for 101 replacement Models developed for the [[Australian Army]] * [[Land Rover Perentie]] 4Γ4 and 6Γ6 === Engines === {{Main|Land Rover engines}} During the history of the Land Rover many different engines have been fitted: * The inlet-over-exhaust petrol engines ("semi side-valve"), in both four- and six-cylinder variants, which were used for the first Land Rovers in 1948, and which had their origins in pre-war Rover cars. Displacement of the first models was 1,600 cc. * The four-cylinder overhead-valve engines, both petrol and diesel, which first appeared (in diesel form) in 1957, near the end of Series One production, and evolved over the years to the 300 TDi turbodiesel, which remains in production today for some overseas markets. * The [[Buick]]-sourced all aluminium [[Rover V8]] engine. * 1,997 cc Petrol, inlet-over-exhaust: Series I engine, carried over for the first few months of Series II production. * 2,052 cc Diesel, overhead-valve: Land Rover's first diesel engine, and one of the first small high-speed diesels produced in the UK. It appeared in 1957, and was used in Series II production until 1961. Looks almost identical to the later 2,286 cc engine, but many internal differences. It produced {{convert|51|bhp|abbr=on}}. * 2,286 cc Petrol, overhead-valve, three-bearing crank: * 2,286 cc Diesel, overhead-valve, three-bearing crank: Appeared in 1961 alongside the redesigned 2,286 cc petrol engine at the start of Series IIA production, and shared its cylinder block and some other components. It produced {{convert|62|bhp|abbr=on}}. * 2,625 cc Petrol, inlet-over-exhaust: Borrowed from the Rover saloon range, in response to demands from mid-1960s Land Rover users for more power and torque. * 2,286 cc petrol/diesel, overhead-valve type 11J: five-bearing crank: In 1980, Land Rover finally did something about the crank failures which had plagued its four-cylinder engines for 22 years. These engines lasted beyond the end of Series III production and into the first couple of years of the new Ninety and One Ten ranges.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.glencoyne.co.uk/enghist.htm|title=Land Rover, Range Rover engine history - by Glencoyne Engineering|website=www.glencoyne.co.uk|access-date=2020-03-03|archive-date=17 February 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200217080532/http://www.glencoyne.co.uk/enghist.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> * 3,258 cc V8 Petrol: The ex-Buick all alloy V8 engine appeared in the Range Rover right from the start of production in 1970, but did not make its way into the company's utility vehicles until 1979. * 2,495 cc petrol, overhead valve: The final development of Land Rover's ohv petrol 'four', with hardened valve seats which allow running on unleaded (or LPG). * 2,495 cc diesel, overhead valve, type 12J: Land Rover reworked the old 'two and a quarter' diesel for the 1980s. The injection pump was driven off a toothed belt at the front of the engine (together with the camshaft), a change compared with the older diesels. * 2,495 cc turbodiesel, overhead valve, type 19J * 2,495 cc turbodiesel, overhead valve, 200TDi and 300TDi: Used in the Defender and Discovery from 1990. The cylinder block was similar to the previous engine, although strengthened but the cylinder head was all-new and a direct injection fuel system was used. * 2,495 cc turbodiesel, five-cylinder, TD5: An all-new engine for the second generation Discovery, and the Defender featuring electronic control of the fuel injection system, '[[drive by wire]]' throttle, and other refinements * The original Freelander models were available with various [[Rover K engine|Rover K-series engines]]. * In beginning of 2015 they start to use the all new [[Ingenium engine family]], to replaced Ford sourced engines. {{As of|August 2012}}, most Land Rovers in production are powered by Ford engines.<ref name="NYT-454888">{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/31/business/global/tata-motors-finds-success-in-jaguar-land-rover.html?pagewanted=all&_r=1& |title=Tata Motors Finds Success in Jaguar Land Rover |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=30 August 2012 |location=[[New York, NY|New York]] |issn=0362-4331 |access-date=19 June 2014 |first=Vikas |last=Bajaj |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140619143634/http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/31/business/global/tata-motors-finds-success-in-jaguar-land-rover.html?pagewanted=all&_r=1& |archive-date=19 June 2014 |url-status=live |others=Photo credit:Prashanth Vishwanathan for The New York Times }}</ref> Under the terms of the acquisition, Tata has the right to buy engines from Ford until 2019.<ref name="BloombergNews-618828">{{cite news|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-08-10/tata-s-jaguar-land-rover-asks-ford-for-more-engines-after-sales-surge-59-.html |title=Tata's Jaguar Land Rover Asks Ford for More Engines |work=[[Bloomberg News]] |date=11 August 2010 |publisher=[[Bloomberg L.P.]] |location=[[New York, NY]] |access-date=19 June 2014 |first1=Vipin V. |last1=Nair |first2=Siddharth |last2=Philip |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140619144006/http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-08-10/tata-s-jaguar-land-rover-asks-ford-for-more-engines-after-sales-surge-59-.html |archive-date=19 June 2014 |url-status=live }}</ref>
