Land Rover is working on a redesign for its iconic Defender, the original version of which bowed out of production in 2016 after a run lasting more than three decades. The redesigned Defender starts sales in 2020, meaning we'll likely see it arrive as a 2021 model, and once again the nameplate will offer buyers multiple body styles to choose from. A prototype for a five-door model was spotted earlier in the week and now we have fresh spy shots of a prototype for a three-door model. The three-door version of the previous generation was known as a Defender 90, the number representing its wheelbase length in inches, though in reality the wheelbase was closer to 93 inches. The previous five-door was known as the Defender 110 and featured a 110-inch wheelbase. It isn't clear if Land Rover will stick with this naming convention for the redesigned Defender. Instead, we could see the automaker call the short-wheelbase model a Defender Sport and the long-wheelbase model simply a Defender. Open-top and pickup versions of both models are also expected. The redesigned Defender was originally due in 2015 but frequent design changes led to delays.
The changes included a decision to base the SUV on a new platform known as the Modular Longitudinal Architecture (MLA), which will be shared with next-generation versions of the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Discovery. This means fully independent suspension front and rear, with the new rear design in clear view in the spy shots. A low-range transfer case and multiple differential locks should still be present for superior performance when going off-road. Powertrains should include a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 as the base option and the same engine working with an electric motor in plug-in hybrid guise. Such a setup features in plug-in hybrid versions of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport where it delivers 398 horsepower and 472 pound-feet of torque. A turbocharged 6-cylinder is also likely, as is an electric option. Though it's yet to be confirmed, there are rumors Land Rover will handle production at its new plant in Slovakia instead of in the United Kingdom to reduce costs. The plant already builds the Discovery. That way Land Rover can free up capacity at its main plant in the U.K. It's possible the redesigned Defender will be previewed this year to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the original Land Rover's arrival.

ATLANTA, Georgia鈥擨鈥檝e come to expect big things from every Porsche I drive. As far as building products that blend unbelievable driving capability with luxury and daily use, the brand has no peer. So despite the Cayenne S being an SUV, its reputation as the sportiest of its breed and Porsche鈥檚 own history had set my expectations high. They were met. I spent time driving the Cayenne near the brand鈥檚 headquarters in Atlanta, and I managed to work into my time with the vehicle miles spent pushing hard on twisty rural Georgia roads. There, I found the Cayenne S has enough power, grip, and braking to handle what I was throwing its way鈥攚ith seemingly plenty in reserve. 3,490 Porsche Surface Coated Brakes (PSCB) option making a speedy descent completely drama-free. The forged-iron discs are coated in tungsten carbide, which the automaker claims to reduce brake dust by 90 percent. The calipers identified by their white calipers, and they not only look great but also identifies the system鈥檚 place among the Porsche brake family.
The combination of mighty 10-piston front calipers and four-piston rears provides immense stopping power, and there was essentially no brake fade whatsoever despite the Cayenne鈥檚 near-4,500-pound curb weight. The pedal calibration is impeccable as well, allowing you to smoothly and comfortably control of your rate of deceleration. The Cayenne S was as impressive while cornering. Our test car had adaptive air suspension, as well as Porsche Active Stability Management (PASM). The suspension鈥檚 damping is uncanny, delivering negligible body roll and overall neutral handling with only the slightest amount of understeer. Plus, the air suspension keeps comfort to a maximum, even in max-attack situations. But if you want to dial out stiffness, a button on the center console is conveniently located to do so. 3,750. The seats are soft, comfortable, and supportive, allowing for a fatigue-free day of driving. 1,000, and it鈥檚 a nice way to break up all the black.
