The Land Rover Defender and Mercedes Gelandewagen (G-Class) are the epitome of true off-road vehicles.  The Land Rover Defender has been one of my favourite SUVs ever since I was young because of its utilitarian look and a go anywhere attitude, it isn’t as luxurious as the Gelandewagen but German tuners STARTECH (subsidiary of Brabus) took care of that with the Land Rover Defender 90 Yachting Edition, which will be showcased at the Essen Motor Show in Germany.

As the name would suggest, the Defender is based on luxury yachts, which can be seen on the luxurious interior that features premium navy blue leather on the seats and the dashboard with contrasting baseball style cross stitching on the sporty Recaro bucket seats for the driver and front passenger.  The headliner is covered with blue Alcantara and the floors feature yacht-styled luxurious wood panels.  There is enough luxury in this Defender that it could easily be mistaken for a Range Rover.

With the debut of the BMW Vision ConnectedDrive Concept at the Geneva Auto Show in March, BMW is aiming at developing an advanced social network on one slick set of wheels.

The exterior boasts a design between a stealth fighter plane with its sharp angles and a classic roadster accompanied by a long bonnet and shortened windshield.

The roadster’s interior is accented in fibre optic lighting in what can only be described as an optical symphony. A three-dimensional Heads-Up Display fuses virtual content with the road for the driver that delivers up to the second data from environmental conditions, locations, and even mood.

We followed it through the development stage, and now we would like to introduce you to the finished Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. With a 700 hp V12 of 479 lb feet of torque and a 0-60 in under 3 seconds to top out at 217 mph, the $350,000  Murciélago successor is more than bullworthy.
