RedRover Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 I ran across this article yesterday; it discusses the new energy in Special Vehicle Operations with their head, John Edwards. In it the author posits that SVO would be a great group to develop a new heir to the Camel Trophy and G4 Challenge events; see below: SVO is an ideal niche production and engineering group to launch an heir to the Camel Trophy and G4 Challenge. I have friends and former colleagues who went up the Amazon and through Borneo on the Camel Trophy, which was an extreme sports survivalist event long before such terms were coined. “Camel Trophy was legendary. I’ve met maybe 30 Camel Trophy competitors over the years and they are all ‘infected’ with Land Rover,†says Edwards. “So, watch this space and maybe we will be doing something like that in the future.†For the full article, click here. If nothing else, at least they show familiarity with CT and G4... fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think a CT version would de-contented re: lux items and up-contented with actual useful hard parts like skids, lockers, sliders, bumpers, lights, tires, etc. But more likely we'll get more hot-rods like they are currently doing. Because hoss-pwr sells even if you can't actually use it. (well, maybe in the dunes. I'd be down for playing with a new blown D5 in the dunes...LRNA, are you listening? Care to send me a loaner so I can change my opinion?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
