New Range Rover Built Like a Tank

Over the past couple of decades there have been some incredible advancements in technology within the automotive industry. The average vehicle can do a hell of a lot more than its 20-year-old counterpart. Current models are super-efficient, incredibly smooth and easy to drive and come packed with cabin equipment.

What you probably wouldn’t liken a new release to however would be an armoured tank – unless you’ve seen what the people at Land Rover have been up to this year.

They have unveiled the new Range Rover Sentinel – their first luxury armoured vehicle – which is claimed capable of withstanding grenades and gunfire. A six-piece armoured cell has been developed, made of super-strength steel, to protect passengers inside the cabin.

As you can probably expect this sort of protection doesn’t come cheap – the model will set you back an eye-watering £360,000. Considering you can pick up a used Land Rover Range Rover in decent condition for under £15,000, this tank-like opportunity is only available to a very small group of wealthy individuals.

Just to put into perspective exactly how tough the Sentinel is, Land Rover claim it can withstand a 15kg TNT explosion and can hold its own against a DM51 grenade – whether it’s placed above or below the vehicle. Additionally, the model can be driven with deflated tyres.

The New Citroen DS3 Dark Light

The new limited edition Citroen DS3 has gone on sale in the UK according to the automotive authority CarSite.

Priced at £20,795, the DS3 Dark Light was first revealed earlier this year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

In production since 2009, the Citroen DS3 has established itself as one of the most popular superminis on the market in recent years. It has received numerous accolades and awards, while sales have increased year upon year.

Fans of the new edition will have to be on the ball if they plan to get themselves one – just 300 vehicles will be sold in the UK.

Performance wise, the Citroen DS3 Dark Light is equipped with a PureTech 110 S&S petrol engine mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission, while buyers can expect all the luxuries of the existing DStyle Nav trim in their limited edition motors. For those unaware of what this includes, you get satellite navigation, chrome door mirrors, sports seats, LED vision headlights, black leather pack, auto wipers electrically folding door mirrors, diamond-cut Bellone alloy wheels, aluminium sports pedals and limited edition exterior badging.
