Here's the four wheeled bearded lady of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, courtesy of Kahn Design and (God help us) Cosworth. To us, spending tens of thousands of dollars on a vehicle, then affixing a bodykit to it that would make an '88 Grand Am sneer seems a bit nonsensical. Then again, being of means doesn't always translate into having sense. As if that wasn't enough, even Cosworth hasn't coaxed much out of this abomination. The 3.6-liter diesel V8 gets an extra 30 horsepower, for an even 300.

That's the approach taken by Land Rover Malaysia and Sasbilt Technologies Malaysia, which together built the behemoth you see above. While we've seen more than our fair share of stretched Range Rovers and Hummers, this concept truck actually has a purpose beyond prom night.

Yesterday's big news that Land Rover and Jaguar were sold to Tata Motors give us a chance to talk Land Rover in terms of CO2 emissions. Jaguar we'll just ignore for now, because Land Rover is a much more interesting case. We've ooohed and aaahed at the nice LRX concept, which would emit just 120 grams of CO2 per kilometer should it ever make it out of the Auto Show circuit, but in general Land Rover isn't exactly a clean car company. Automotive News Europe (subs req'd) found that Land Rover's sales are up dramatically in the last few years and the company is apparently "solidly profitable" (Jaguar's in trouble here).

Los Land Rover han llevado en su capó el motor AJ V8 de Jaguar desde que Ford se aburrió de montar motores procedentes de BMW. El magazine CAR ha extraído esta información de algunas mulas de prueba que están rondando por Finladia con el nuevo motor de 4,997 cc bajo el capó. Los fotógrafos también captaron los vehículos cuando estos se colaban en un parking repleto de Volvos de las tentadoras series 2 y 7. No cabe duda que el AJ es un gran motor. Range Rover lo está desarrollando en colaboración con Bosch, tratando de aumentar la eficiencia sin dejar de mantener una potencia elevada y bajas emisiones a través de la inyección directa de gasolina.

Marking a major shift in product strategy prompted by a change in consumer driving habits as well as the prospect of tougher environmental regulations worldwide, the Ford Motor Co. unit will introduce a new car-based concept vehicle at the 2008 North American International Auto Show. It is more compact, lighter and "sustainable" than anything the venerable off-road specialist has engineered and built before.

The 3-door LRX pushes Land Rover into new territory -- pint-sized SUVs that are more car-like than truck-like.
