| Off-Road King Receives Striking Refinement |
|
Thursday, September 6, 2007
The 2007 Range Rover’s front fascia was noticeably softened and mated with chunkier front bumper. The delicate folding cup found at the center console of the previous model of the vehicle was replaced by a simpler version enhanced by sliding covers. Cooled front seats and greater cargo capacity are made optional. In addition, OEM Range Rover parts were also modified. For 2007, the 2.7 L AJD Diesel V6 engine will be replaced with new 3.6 L AJD-V8 from Ford. The latter generates 272 horsepower, far better than the 177 horsepower of the previous BMW Inline 6 engine. Other changes for the 2007 model include the integration of Land Rover's Terrain Response system and solving Range Rover air suspension problems. Terrain Response system is capable of automatically adjusting the suspension, brakes, throttle, and electronic traction aids to deliver a comfortable ride all throughout the drive. According to auto critics, with the system around, driving on a rough terrain will not result to a bumpy ride. The system drives the car for the driver. Another worthy refinement is the upgrade of Brembo brakes for Range Rover 4.4 V8. The ignition switch of the vehicle was also moved. From the centre console, the switch was transferred to the dashboard. The Supercharged Range Rover will also employ electronic rear differential. Electronic rear differential works with the standard electronic center locking differential to boost off-road prowess. Said feature is also aimed at enhancing on-road agility. The Supercharged version is also equipped with upgraded front brakes from Brembo, premium leather upholstery, adaptive front headlights, heated steering wheel, heated front and rear seats and a ski sack attached to the rear center seat back. The power of the Supercharged version comes from the 4.2-liter supercharged V8 that boasts a remarkable 400 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The new Range Rover combines the conflicting functions of automobiles by delivering superb ergonomics and style with extreme performance of a rugged and mean off-road vehicle. Range Rover utilizes the basic formula of style, comfort, performance, reliability, and excellent off-road technology. Pictures of Sports Cars: See Yourself in the Driver’s Seat and the Car Becomes Yours They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So imagine this… A beautifully framed picture of a sports car: you’re in the passenger seat, enjoying the ride. No. That’s too limited. Let’s go for broke. Visualize yourself as the driver in this sports car picture. You are definitely behind the wheels, confidently cruising down the highway. Can you see it? Do you have in your mind’s eye an exotic sports car picture? Moreover, to be even more specific, make it the picture of a fast sports car speeding down the highway. And while you’re having this vision, why not extend your imagination a little further. Close your eyes. There you are. You can see the sports car picture. So you’re looking at the picture of a Ferrari. Let’s say Ferrari F430 Spider. Take a look. No? Well, what sports car picture do you want to visualize yourself driving? What photo do you want to put in this picture of the sports car? Lamborghini picture? Not to your taste? How about the Jaguar XK8 Convertible? Or why not a picture of the Chevrolet Corvette Convertible? Perhaps you’d like something more classic, like the Austin or the Lotus. But for the moment, let’s just settle and agree on the picture of the Ferrari. You can change your mind later, at any time you want. After all, this is your visualization. Put any picture of fast sports car you want in your dream. Now, moving on to selecting the color in the picture of the sports car. We’ll make it red. Of course, with your imagination you can make it any color you want—perhaps your favorite color. So there’s your complete visualization picture: You, behind the wheels of your own luxury sports car, breezing along a long stretch of almost deserted highway. Ah, what a beauty this car is. The driving pleasure. The power. The freedom. And oh, what a great feeling--the contentment as the cool wind kisses your face while you lose yourself in this experience of driving the sports car of your dreams. But wait. Look who just pulled up alongside you. Me. You didn’t know I was sharing this vision with you, did you? And I’m driving my new, red Ferrari F430 Spider. In my sports car picture fantasy, my car was in my favorite color--purple, but it wasn’t immediately available in that color (and it would be too much of a long wait) so I accepted the red, my second choice. Oh, and I see you decided on a different car and color for yourself. No problem. It is, after all, your visualization. And you do look good behind the wheels of your blue Bugatti. Wow, when you dream, you really do dream big. But then, that’s as it should be. You do deserve it. And it sure suits you—you and your Bugatti sports car. This is one magnificent sport car picture, isn’t it? Copyright © 2006. All rights reserved. About the Author Douglas Hutchinson believes in visualization and dreaming big.
