So is that more or less than 85 then?
Irrelevant. Do you understand what is meant by an ECU? They’re in every electrical system of a modern car - lighting, windows, wipers, everything, and have ... |

| The powertrain is bought in from BMW, they’re the current B57 diesel and B58 petrol engines, with a ZF 8 speed (just like the new Defender), and they’re both pretty much as complicated as modern e ... |

| It’s a modern car with a modern (and very complicated) powertrain - it will be, and has to be, full of electronics. Not convinced there’s anything to suggest it will be some amazing off-roader, ei ... |

| After having a look around one of the prototypes, whatever they cost a new Defender is a bargain by comparison. They’re very rudimentary underneath (not a chance it will approach the same levels of ... |

| Towing capacity is interesting - the UK plug-in Defender can tow 3000kg, but the same powertrain in the Range Rover is limited to 2500kg (with 50kg lower nose weight) - but for Australia, every P400e ... |

| Same engine family, can’t see it being a big deal - look at the variety of powertrain options the Germans offer on the same platforms. |
