As we reported in our post dated 30th December, JLR/Jaguar and Land Rover have showcased their concept models at the 2012 Auto Expo. Back at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show the company displayed Land Rover DC100 and Land Rover DC100 Sport concept cars and recently they graced the Auto Expo as well.

The company has designed both the models following a very futuristic approach and both the concepts carry the real spirit of the Land Rover Series 1 established in 1948. In a simple term the concepts are a modern interpretation of the brand’s heritage and are very futuristic in all aspects.
