Pretty cool that it rolled over and just kept going.
Nice ad tie in with the new 007 movie as well.

Maybe not much? Maybe a lot? Rovers have been in all the bond movies (pretty sure, or at least most). And remember how much shit they caught when they replaced the Aston Martins with BMWs? The Brits have to stay British.
If you look at the windshield just after the crash, you can see that it's plexi or similar. There is actually a gap where it moved in the frame
I see that. It is a laminated design or something....
Solar attenuating windshield
This windshield filters sunlight to reduce heat and prevent UV rays from entering the cabin. Its laminated construction also buffers sound to keep Land Rover Defender quieter.
Another thing to keep in mind is that for a lot of these, once the sensors are in place for some of them, the rest can be done at no cost; i.e., it's software with no marginal cost. So there's no penalty to add them as standard equipment.
Remember the opening sequence in The Living Daylights? Timothy Dalton goes off a cliff clinging to a Series III which then explodes mid-fall. I'll never forgive Albert Broccoli for allowing the wanton destruction of a classic Land Rover.
You guys need to stop going to their website and playing. Management is going to be jumping out the windows when the real numbers start coming in.
Land Rover does not reveal how many new-age Defender models it has sold so far but says more than 1.21 million people have configured their dream Defender on the Land Rover website since the off-roader’s premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2019

I'd like to see the conversion rate, expressed as a percentage, of how many "configurations" turn into sales. As of today it's probably less than 1%.
They probably think a lot of people really want every option. Lol. Builds online in the configurator is a hilarious stat.
Yep however wonder what the % is overall as guessing many like me
check out various marques for the fun of it.I am sure someone has talked to LRNA about this and perhaps brought it up in the thread, but it seems they won't do much about orders at least in CO until May. Don't know how long you will wait. For some reason, just a guess. They will start with highly optioned vehicles so you will have to wait for a 55k 110.
A couple of things. How many times you going to do that before all the electronics and sensors start to fuck up. That shit and mud/water usually don't mix. Personally I don't like being broke down in the middle of nowhere. Also, depending on what the stream bed consists of water isn't a particularly difficult obstacle.
The main problem I have is, how much modding can I do to "make it mine"? Can I install a brush guard/front bumper? How about a rear bumper, or lift it and slap some tires on it?
Too bad this Lego mook wasn't on the development team.

I agree. I might do a 55k version this year. Otherwise definitely going to wait. A 2011-16 RR is in my thoughts right now and much cheaper.
