The 18-year-old, who has already enjoyed global recognition by competing for England Under-20s, recently attended the world famous Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials where she got to rub shoulders with 2003 Rugby World Cup victor Jason Robinson. FInally I can push aside all my blurry cell phone spy-pictures of Land Rovers in the snow and C-X75’s blasting down the streets, and greet with a warmth in my heart the clarity and grace of press photos – and video – of what I have been stalking following for over a year.

Here is the Range Rover Sport SVO being shown for the first time in California. It was developed by JLR’s Special Vehicle Operations Division, in tandem with Williams Advanced Engineering. This exceptional vehicle delivers lateral protection against up to 15kg Trinitrotoluene (TNT) blasts and defence against DM51 grenade explosions from both beneath the floor and above the roof.
At its core is a unique, six-piece armoured passenger cell, formed from super-high-strength steel.

The Range Rover Sentinel is fully certified to VR8 standard against ballistic threats by QinetiQ®, an independent organisation that was formerly part of the British Government’s Defence Establishment Research Agency. There is also an emergency exit behind the rear seats and an opening in the driver’s window for exchanging documents without the brief compromise of security that opening a window or door would entail. If a getaway is feasible, “run flat” tyres will help, as will the 340 horsepower from its supercharged V6 engine.
Over the past few years, Mena markets have seen a considerable increase in demand for armoured vehicles.
Land Rover’s rugged build quality and attention to detail can be found on this concept as well. The United States company had also alienated some Jaguar enthusiasts over the years with subpar products, including one model derived from its mass-market Mondeo sedan sold in Europe.
Cars, including the Jaguar C-X75, Range Rover Sport SVR and the iconic Land Rover Defender, made their first public appearance.
