Land Rover DC100 previews new Defender (photos)

The DC100 concept is specified with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and would use an advanced form of Land Rover's current Terrain Response System. The new system does not require the driver to select the terrain type, instead using sensors and a camera to determine the driving surface, and automatically adapting its four-wheel drive, stability, and suspension. The driver can also decouple the rear wheels from the drive system at the touch of a button for optimal fuel economy.
