Thoughts - other than I like the colour AND the wheels

Thats a Stornoway with HSE wheels - just like mine

does that mean you.......................well perhaps not being black  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc.

I like them in all colours but my personal preference is Black, Grey and Silver

Interesting as it sounds. (No I won't comment on colour or wheels. )

And...

"Located in the boot space – and taking up no more room than a conventional spare wheel and tyre – an advanced Lithium ion battery pack stores both the electrical energy needed to power the CISG for starting and the energy recovered during regenerative braking. Lithium ion (Li ion) batteries are lighter than the nickel metal hydride batteries used in most current production hybrids. Their chemistry also allows them to store more energy and receive a charge more quickly."

No spare wheel!  2010 Freelander 2 Select TD4 auto....gone
2011 Freelander 2 TD4 auto ...current

tis OK - you can glue it on the rear somewhere

Wouldn't putting the spare wheel on the back impact negatively on the NCAP ratings? '09 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto

putting seats in the boot would devastate the safety but people still want to  At work

It's better than nowt?

Back to the original quesiton, i think its a great idea. Electric motors have bags of torque which can make for some fun driving, and offroad it could be brilliant.

If LR want someone to test it in real conditions i do a good 100+ miles a day on my commute over stop-start queues, blasts down the dual carriage ways and then country lanes  I appear to be addicted to Landrovers...

TD5 D-Lander hopefully finished soon!
FL2....this year with any luck!

Not happenin afaik. Testing it on fl2 mule for lrx. Saw next gen hybrid working on. Have on board generator for power. Makes the elec mini redundant. Elec hybrid without having to charge it from the mains. Xpect erad-hybrid on lr3. Live your life be free-lander
