A Rover With A Stormy Performance

Land Rover earlier announced its new concept car called Range Stormer. The latter is a high-performance, sports-tourer SUV car that epitomizes the future of car design and dynamics. This is Rover s way to approach the forthcoming demands of the car owners.
Range Stormer is the first concept car of the automaker that will enter a new market segment. Moreover, it is expected that Rover s future portfolio will be expanding to welcome the presence of Range Stormer.
"The supercharged V8 Range Stormer gives a taste of our forthcoming new entrant in the booming high-performance SUV segment," said the managing director of Land Rover, Matthew Taylor. "The production vehicle that follows will share many of its styling and technical innovations."
Taylor added, "Range Stormer is a modern, striking, high-technology vehicle. It is very much conceived to be an on-road, high-performance machine, as well as class-leading off-road like all Land Rovers. Breadth of capability is one of its many strengths."
Range Stormer utilizes power Land Rover auto parts to produce an updated and state-of-the-art vehicle that exudes boldness, sophistication and powerful performance. Said concept vehicle will use an advanced, fully-integrated platform to give Range Stormer that inspiring underpinnings.
One remarkable innovation which will be incorporated in the car is Terrain Response, which is a distinctively Rover technology. Said feature will deliver excellent on-road and off-road driving experience. Parenthetically, it optimizes the whole vehicle setup including powertrain, suspension, traction control and throttle response to provide safe and powerful driving dynamics.
"You ll be seeing an increasing amount of innovative technology in our future vehicles," says Matthew Taylor. "But technology that makes the driver s task simpler, not more complicated, such as Terrain Response. You select the terrain. The car then helps you conquer it."
The modern muscle car of Rover creates a sporty yet elegant aura. According to Geoff Upex, Jaguar s design director, "The challenge was to translate fundamental Land Rover design values into a concept for a high-performance machine that looks powerful, muscular and edgy. We certainly want to challenge established views of our vehicles and yet Range Stormer is clearly an authentic Land Rover."
Upex continued, "It has classic Land Rover design language, such as the clamshell bonnet, floating roof, castellated corners on the hood, the straight waistline and short front overhang. Take one look at the vehicle and it s obviously from Land Rover, and obviously has strong Range Rover genes."

Car Accessories

Using car accessories for your vehicle is a way many people personalize their vehicles to add a special touch that only they can give it. The choice of car accessories is up to the individual and will usually give a uniqueness and personality to the car. The more unique the item, the better the result you will have. It really makes no difference why you choose to add certain thing to your vehicle; the fact is you will love each one of them.
These accessories may be inexpensive or some can also be very costly. First, we will discuss the inexpensive ones. These fall into the category of things such as bumper stickers, bobble head dolls, and items that usually cost $20 or less to purchase. Bumper stickers are a great way to express your true feelings or opinions about a particular topic. They can be funny or about serious issues such as war and politics. However you choose to display them, it seems this is the one true way no one faults you for being yourself. Bobble head dolls and hula dolls are a great centerpiece for your back window. If you are a sports fan, there are bobble heads that are created for you to support your favorite teams. They cause those seeing them to start shaking their heads to the movement of the bobble head and laughing at themselves. It is great to know your choice of car accessory brings smiles to the faces of other drivers. What a great way to make someone s day.
Have you seen the great designs in flooring mats available? You can decide on whether you want to show off your favorite animated character. For the boys choices in team emblem floor mats and camouflage are available. For the girls, choices in princess designs in multitudes of pink and your favorite ladybug or butterfly can be found to truly personalize your vehicle. It seems car accessories can be like decorating a bedroom, once you find a theme; you will have no problems finding everything to match including the air fresheners. They come in many designs to definitely match those floor mat designs and seat covers. Not only will you have a wonderfully put together car but one that smells great also.
For those who want to spend quite a bit more customizing your vehicle, there are choices in electronics. This might be colorful lighting, electronics for expressing your music tastes, DVD players for not missing out on your favorite shows or for occupying your kids on a long trip, video game systems to do the same, and the ever necessary GPS system to prevent getting lost. The ones listed above are mainly for the comfort of those in the vehicle. They are not great for the driver but beneficial for the passengers.
Colorful light shows in the many neon colors and shapes are great for passerby s to enjoy but be sure they are not so great they are distracting. For those who choose to install a GPS system, know you will be shelling out some serious cash. Know it may cost as little as a couple hundred dollars or as much as two thousand dollars but you will be able to have directions with the push of a button.
It makes no difference how you choose to personalize your vehicle with car accessories except that you have a great time in the process. Make sure you get exactly what you want so you will be able to sit back and enjoy the ride.
