The emergency stops are fitted to all their test vehicles. If there's a problem it reduces the chance of a fire burning their work if they switch it oft sooner.

I guess with air suspension it will raise and lower at the touch of a lcd screen or even do it all by its self. As it is a Land Rover it will be ultra reliable. It will have ESP as standard, this means it can tell if you have any money in your wallet and then require you to spend it all on your dearest Land Rover.

Still not convinced. They've already got the Disco for semi-posh. It's just a freshened up disco 3 with a wheel on the back door again
