The decades have been king to the Porsche 911 - though it went thorough a couple of rough spots, it emerged a better car. The same couldn’t be said about the rugged Land Rover Defender, which is more than six decades old now.
While it has received numerous updates, it’s in desperate need of updates if it’s to survive in the modern era of iPhones and satellite navigation. Intruding the face of the new Defender in the form of the DC100 Concept that made its debut in Frankfurt.

This silver ghost of an off-roader looks so cool you’d thing its 2.0-liter diesel is powered by a martini that’s “shaken, not stirred” (hope you got the James Bond reference).

“The Defender was lover the world over for its simple, honest and distinctive design," says Edwards. "We are determined that the new Defender will be true to its heritage while meeting the requirements of a changing global market.”

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
