The new HR-V uses the petrol engine to charge the battery rather than provide drive…. Or some voodoo like that anyway

Ah yes the first diesel self-charging hybrid - based on a TVR Cerbera chassis and a Land Rover windscreen by the looks of it. The Hammerhead Eagle I-Thrust.

Also much like the new Defender, built from what they could find in the parts bins...

Land Rover Defender sales figures are great, but have you seen how many Disocovery's they're (not) selling now?
