"extreme" off-road?
Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) division is said to be working on a new Discovery variant that places an extreme emphasis on off-road capability.

Presumably it'll have "rugged" waterproof USB ports on the outside...
Seriously, how expensive is an SVO-tricked D5 going to cost? I bet it's in LWB FFRR territory and no one who can afford one will be taking it anywhere further off road than the polo club car park.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
