Land Rover Defender Blaser to tackle nature’s rougher side

 Well, you can now leave that shiny black SUV at home every time you go take on nature, and drive around in a more suitable and true-to-blood off-road vehicle. Designed in collaboration with gun maker Blaser, Land Rover recently pulled the veil off the Defender, a car that seems to face nature and all its ups and downs with a smug expression on its face. Complete with a special Keswick Green color, roof racks, electric winches, snorkel air intake, and trailer hitch, this one might look like a runaway military vehicle from the outsides, though the insides are pretty luxurious.

Maserati Kubang concept is the first to be built in North America

 The Maserati Kubang concept is finally coming to life with its debut at the 2012 North American International Auto Show. The SUV will be manufactured at the Chrysler’s Jefferson North assembly plant and the assembly will start sometime in 2013. The engine would be a V-8 built in Maranello, Italy and the powertrain will be shipped to Michigan and fitted with an 8-speed automatic transmission that would be produced in Germany. The vehicle is global in the truest sense of the word.
