Land Rover unveiled a vision of its future today at the North American International Auto Show (Detroit Auto Show) with the world debut of the **** hybrid concept - a bold evolution of Land Rover design that indicates the brand�s progressive shift into new areas of the market, while remaining true to its core values. As the company prepares to celebrate its 60th anniversary during 2008, the three-door ****, with its more compact size, lighter weight and sustainability-focused technologies, clearly addresses the needs of a changing world and offers the potential of 120 g/km CO2 emissions.

�The **** concept delivers the powerful message that we are as serious about sustainability as we are confident about the continuing relevance and desirability of our vehicles,� says Phil Popham, Land Rover�s managing director. �**** is in every respect a Land Rover, but it�s a very different Land Rover.

�**** has unmistakable Land Rover design and the breadth of capability that you�d expect from our vehicles. But it carries those essentials into a segment where the brand has never been before, and with a proposed level of efficiency that would make it one of the cleanest vehicles in its class. It is Land Rover�s way of affirming the brand�s responsible approach to future product development. At this stage, **** is purely a concept, designed to help us develop our thinking as well as gauge customer reaction � but this feels like a hugely exciting direction to take.� COMPACT AND PREMIUM **** is described as a cross-coup� and dramatically extends the scope of what Land Rover represents. Though 5.9 in (149 mm) shorter than the LR2/Freelander 2 and 8.1 in (205 mm) lower, **** was conceived as a premium vehicle, designed to appeal to new customers in the luxury and executive sector � those who want many of the benefits of an SUV and the presence of a larger vehicle, but in a more compact package.

The first all-new Land Rover revealed since Gerry McGovern became the company�s design director, **** is a natural extension of the Land Rover range, complementing the existing models and helping to define a new segment. Its many recognizable Land Rover design cues include bold new interpretations of the signature clamshell bonnet, the floating roof and the solid �wheel-at-each-corner� stance.
