GLOHH, the specialist automotive lighting manufacturers, has designed new tail lights for the 2005-2013 Range Rover Sport.

• September 2016 marks the official worldwide launch of the GL-3 Dynamic taillight.

GLOHH, the specialist automotive lighting manufacturers, have given one of their most sought-after lighting products an exciting facelift. 

After the global success of the original GL-3 taillight, the team at GLOHH are once again introducing a world first for the Range Rover Sport with the release of the GL-3 Dynamic. Designed exclusively for the L320 2005-2013 models, the new-look GL-3 taillight features the innovative Dynamic Flow Indicator. 

Incorporating both precision engineering and sleek aesthetics, the new GL-3 Dynamic is primed to become the universal must-have lighting accessory for Range Rover Sport owners.

For maximum visual impact, the GL-3 Dynamic features an innovative flow indicator consisting of a strip of LEDs. The 24 LEDs are aligned in blocks of four and programmed to light up in succession each time the indicator or hazard warning lights are in use. 

Controlled by a microprocessor, the sequence of light lasting 350ms flows in the direction of intended travel. The 20% increase in length from the previous model, delivers a fluid stream of light improving visibility of your vehicle even in low-light conditions and over long distances. 

The addition of the dynamic indicator offers a sophisticated and technologically advanced lighting solution for the Range Rover Sport, enhancing safety credentials and satisfying high demand for distinctive products that fuse style and function.

Azhar Ahmad, Glohh’s Marketing Manager said “The original GL-3 taillight was never just a fashion accessory for Range Rover Sport drivers - this intuitive rear light cluster provided users with a sleek look, improved power efficiency and an easy plug and play installation. 

It was only natural to us that our new edition should evolve further. Incorporating the dynamic indicator feature adds an additional layer of safety and the new fog lights offer greater visibility when you need it most. 

Fine adjustments have also been made to the outer lens, brake light and the three glowing elements making the GL-3 Dynamic essentially uncompromised”.

GLOHH creates products that fulfil the desire to be unique, keeping the leading edge through combining strong aesthetics with high performance, safety and efficiency. Behind the scenes, engineers are developing products including an innovative taillight design for the new Range Rover Sport L494 which was released in 2013. 

As with its predecessors, this future release promises to deliver powerful visual impact through masterful engineering.

Merfyn Williams, Head of Product Communications at Glohh adds, “Innovation is in our DNA. We are always looking to develop products that reflect our customers’ quest for the extraordinary. By fusing the latest in light technology with the distinctive GLOHH design, we are confident that buyers and fans alike will fall in love with the avant-garde GL-3 Dynamic.”

For now, the GL-3 Dynamic will officially launch worldwide this summer and will be making its debut in the UK where demand for the first generation GL-3 taillight was particularly high. 

The GL-3 Dynamic will be available from the GLOHH website for just $898.00USD, €849.00 and £649.00GBP. To celebrate the official launch of the GL-3 Dynamic taillight, Glohh is exclusively offering free shipping to all buyers who purchase viawww.glohh.com in the month of September 2016.

Land Rover ambassador Harry Meade will debut equestrian virtual reality technology through the use of Oculus headsets. Visitors will be able to ride the famous British Open Course at Gatcombe with a 360 degree view through the eyes of one of Britain’s leading event riders, Harry Meade. This is the first time Oculus headsets have been used to analyse and view an equestrian sport from a rider’s perspective.

There really will be something for the whole family, whether it’s having a passenger ride on our off-road course, to trying to make the Land Rover BAR boat go faster or driving one of the Discovery Sport remote controlled cars. Indeed for Land Rover owners, there will be an opportunity for refreshments on the Land Rover lawn.

“In our 12th year, we continue to value the sportsmanship and competition taking place on the course and I wish all those competing this weekend every success.”

For the first time ever at Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials, visitors will be able to experience a drive through the famous Burghley Lake with in-car passenger rides delivered by Land Rover Experience. 

The demonstration drives will showcase Land Rover’s class-leading wading capability of up to 900mm* of water. The Wade Sensing option will show guests just how deep the water is through a graphic illustration on the infotainment screen.

Celebrating Land Rover BAR’s recent sailing success at Portsmouth, guests visiting the Land Rover stand will be able to experience remote-controlled Land Rovers complete in Land Rover BAR livery as well as testing themselves to the limit generating power for the BAR sailing boat on the grinders. 

A Discovery Sport will be towing the Land Rover BAR rib at the water jump under the Lion Bridge. World-class sailors from the team including Paul Campbell-James and Leigh McMillion will be making guest appearances on the Land Rover stand.

The annual Land Rover Burghley Tailgate Picnic Competition will make a return to Burghley for the fifth year running this year. Land Rover ambassadors, Zara Tindall and Adam Henson will judge the competition, which takes place in the reserved members’ car park on Saturday 3rd September

Which cars are popular in which area's of the UK, read on to find out.

SUV IS TOP IN LONDON’S POSHEST AREA

• carwow.co.uk reveals Britain’s favourite drives region-by region, based on the cars configured and bought through the site during summer 2015
• carwow users in the north clearly favour the Ford Fiesta, while those in the south prefer the Nissan Qashqai
• London’s favourite car as a whole is the VW Golf, while central London likes the Discovery, Knightsbridge prefers the Range Rover Sport and those in Canary Wharf like the Mercedes C-Class
• Glasgow drivers prefer something a little faster, with the 296bhp VW Golf R the most popular car. The Audi Q5 SUV is favourite in Aberdeen
• The Qashqai is favourite in Sunderland where it is built, the Fiesta is popular near Ford’s Technical Centre in Essex, while the Vauxhall Mokka tops the chart in Luton, where Vauxhall is headquartered

carwow.co.uk – the site for Britain’s new-car buyers – has analysed car configurations and sales on its site to discover that the Ford Fiesta and Nissan Qashqai are the nation’s favourite cars.

But the north-south divide appears to be alive and well, with those in the north preferring the accessible Ford, while those in the south would rather drive the more upmarket Nissan SUV.

Blackburn, Bolton, Carlisle, Derby, Durham, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, Preston, Sheffield and more are all cities where the Fiesta tops the charts. Meanwhile, Cambridge, Croydon, Exeter, Guildford, Milton Keynes, Oxford, Reading, Worcester and other southern cities all prefer the Qashqai.

Interestingly, Sunderland – where the Qashqai is built – favours the Nissan, while all the areas that surround it favour the Fiesta. In Essex, where Ford’s Dunton Technical Centre is based, the Fiesta takes the top spot in Romford, Colchester and Southend. In Luton, where Vauxhall is headquartered, the brand’s Mokka SUV is top of the leaderboard.

Detailed maps of London and the areas around Birmingham and Manchester reveal different tastes across cities. Alderley Edge, for example, known as the home of many of Manchester’s Premiership footballers favours the Audi Q5 luxury SUV, while Manchester’s favourite car is the VW Polo. Birmingham’s wealthy Edgbaston area likes the Mercedes C-Class while Birmingham itself prefers the Ford Fiesta.

In London, the VW Golf reigns supreme but in Knightsbridge – home of the world-famous Harrod’s store – the Range Rover Sport luxury SUV comes out on top. On some of the capital’s most congested streets – in Central London – the Land Rover Discovery is favourite. Meanwhile, in Canary Wharf, where many of the nation’s banks are headquartered, the Mercedes C-Class is the most popular car.

Some cities in the UK clearly have more exotic taste in cars, with the top-configured car in Glasgow being the 296bhp four-wheel-drive Volkswagen Golf R. In Aberdeen, meanwhile, it was the Audi Q5 luxury SUV.

James Hind, CEO of carwow, said: “Every month we see just under 100,000 new cars configured on carwow.co.uk, which gives us a real insight to car-buying habits and trends across Britain. It’s great to see the majority of regions in the UK are driving a car with a British connection – the Qashqai is built here, much of the Fiesta was developed here and the Mokka, popular Range Rover and Land Rover models all come from British brands.”

FRANKFURT - Jaguar Land Rover presents the cars that take a starring role in the new Bond film, SPECTRE.

Jaguar Land Rover celebrated their vehicles appearing in the new Bond adventure, SPECTRE. Cars, including the Jaguar C-X75, Range Rover Sport SVR and the iconic Land Rover Defender, stole the show as they were unveiled in public for the first time at the palatial Thurn und Taxis in Frankfurt.

Naomie Harris (Moneypenny) and David Bautista (Hinx) were guests of honour at the glamorous event showcasing special stunt vehicles used in the latest instalment of the James Bond series.  Guests were entertained by British singer and musician John Newman, who performed a number of top ten hits from his album.  

SPECTRE, the 24th James Bond film, from Albert R. Broccoli’s EON Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios and Sony Pictures Entertainment, sees the Jaguar C-X75 drive through the moonlit streets of Rome in one of the movie’s most iconic high speed chase scenes.   Driven by Hinx, played by David Bautista, the C-X75 supercar, named the most advanced Jaguar ever created, was provided by Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) in collaboration with development partner Williams Advanced Engineering headquarters in Oxfordshire, England.  

SVO was created in June 2014 to focus on meeting the increasing expectations of today’s most discerning and enthusiastic Jaguar and Land Rover customers.  Working on the development of high performance versions of existing models, luxury bespoke commissions and limited run collector editions, it represents the very pinnacle of the two iconic brands. 

Specially modified Land Rover Defenders and the fastest, most powerful Land Rover ever, the Range Rover Sport SVR also star in major action sequences shot in Austria.  The highly capable Defenders were constructed by the JLR Special Operations division with huge 37-inch diameter off-road tyres and enhanced body protection to tackle the challenging terrain of the snow-covered mountain roads used for filming.

Actor David Bautista said, “To have the opportunity to be a part of an iconic chase scene in a Bond movie and to drive the C-X75 supercar was like a dream come true for me. It truly is a beautiful beast of a car that will go down in movie history.”

Naomie Harris, who will reprise the role of Moneypenny in SPECTRE said: “I made my Bond debut in the Defender, and I have so many fond memories shooting that sequence in Turkey. It’s such a special franchise to be a part of, and I’m thrilled to be here in Frankfurt with the Jaguar Land Rover team”.

Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations, John Edwards, said: "For Jaguar Land Rover to once again be a part of the iconic vehicle line ups in one of the most celebrated film franchises in the world represents a proud moment for us.   It’s an incredible opportunity to showcase production and concept cars alike and we look forward to continuing this relationship well into the future.”

Fans around the world will be treated to a host of exclusive behind the scenes SPECTRE content on Jaguar and Land Rover’s social channels and brand new websites, including special access to unseen footage and interviews with the design, SVO and stunt teams as well as a stunning 360 dynamic walk-around of the Jaguar C-X75.

SPECTRE is released worldwide from October.
