LION WHISPERER:ELECTRIC LANDY


NOW THIS IS AN ELECTRIC CAR I CAN GET BEHIND. ASKED BY A SOUTH AFRICAN GAME PRESERVE FOR A NEAR SILENT VEHICLE TO APPROACH EASILY DISTURBED WILDLIFE, LAND ROVER DEVELOPED THIS EXPERIMENTAL ALL ELECTRIC DEFENDER 110. IT SPORTS A 300 VOLT LITHIUM BATTERY THAT GETS AROUND 50 MILES AND TOPS OUT AT 65KM/H (IN REVERSE AS WELL, PERFECT FOR QUICK GETAWAYS FROM CHARGING RHINOS) ONE OF THE BIG SURPRISES IS THAT LACKING MANY OF THE VENTS AND INTAKES REQUIRED FROM THE STANDARD COMBUSTION ENGINE THE ELECTRIC LANDY CAN DRIVE THROUGH MUCH DEEPER WATER AND WITH THE PROPER SEALING COULD DRIVE COMPLETELY UNDERWATER. I'LL TAKE ONE.
