The new model, which official name is not known yet, will be the most compact, light and efficient that Land Rover made during its 61 years existence, according to words of Phil Popham, manager of Land Rover.
Land Rover calculated that they will need approximately 452 million Euros investment for their project, for the British government it is simply the top of the iceberg. They haven’t told yes, but some steps were taken. A new compact off-roader will have as big size as possible, new efficient technologies presented in Land Rover LRX, like the newly patent technology E-Terrain. Of course, engines will be improved in order to become more efficient than the current ones. The follower of Land Rover LRX will be produced at the plant of Halewood in Britain.

In the age of technology, flat screens, tactile mobiles and great variety of electronic devices there is a company which produces about 80 handmade cars annually. They are without any electronic components that improve our driving. It is the French PGO which demonstrates us that it is possible.
Gilles and Olivier Prevost started mounting engines and make cars in their small workshop, and up to now PGO has its own plant with territory of nearly 18.000 m2 close to Alès (to the north of Nîmes).
Its production is limited with three models that share the same chassis and mechanical elements and differ for their esthetics: PGO Hemera, about which we have already spoken to you here and it is the closed model, PGO Speedster II of 2003 being the most classic, and the last one to come and current version, the neo-retro PGO Cevennes.
The engine is always mounted behind two available seats and it is a 2 liters well-known block, which has 4 cylinders and 16 valves of PSA and gives 138 hp of potency and 190 Nm of pair. PGO Cévennes weight is 980 kg. Its speed is 200 km/h and it accelerates to 100 Km/h from stop less than in 7 seconds. Let us agree it has not bad characteristics. To find therefore a rival with whom to comete PGO Cevennes turns into a riddle of 3rd grade, but the most similar thing on the market there would be one Lotus Elise (3.400 € cheaper) or a Caterham Super Seven (400 kg lighter). Nevertheless PGO Cevennes does not have a sophisticated chassis of one and the services of other.
