Every time a car comes out of those that we consider classics, it attracts our attention as well as when the latest generation models are shown. Classic models have their own DNA. The fame they achieved since they became known was such that, over the years, their fame instead of decreasing increased, earning even the adjective "immortal cars." The classic vehicles are a safe bet if we see it from the economic point of view; they are bought at a good price, and then sold to the highest bidder at auctions, at prices that can triple their initial value. The recommendation for those who have old models is to keep them and keep them up to date, remember that you never know when you will need money, and you may have a treasure without knowing it.
In that sense, Land Rover has just presented one of its iconic models, but fully restored and updated to our times. This is the Range Rover Chieftain, a model that earned worldwide fame for being a unique off-road, characterized by a high level of power. We must emphasize that this model is produced by the English manufacturer since the 70s, and since then its line has never been cut. Range Rover already has models that use hybrid technology.
But returning to the Range Rover Chieftain restored and modified to our times, we must add that it is an imposing model, not only for how it was restored internally, but for the mechanical features it now has. Seeing the results we could think that we are in the presence of a car recently removed from the factory, in fact, this model is listed as one of the best that has taken the British house, which gave him, so to speak, fame world with which Land Rover is known.
Jensen International Automotive
Those responsible for making the Range Rover Chieftain famous again were the specialist trainers of Jensen International Automotive, who were in charge of bringing back to life models that were considered classic, adapting them to the new times, making use of the most advanced technology. These preparers aim to recover these old models, then sell them and make their new owners feel that they have a vehicle that has nothing to envy to the most current. We can affirm that in this case they complied with the demands, it is enough only to appreciate above the result of an effort turned into a work of art.
External appearance of the car
It keeps exactly the same lines as when it left the factory, that is, an elegant but off-road look at the same time. Ahead its round headlights embedded in its grille, its lower air intake and the fog lights located at the sides of the bumper. On the sides, its flat windows, the carcasses of body-colored mirrors, and its striking wheels or rims in gray and silver. We close at the back, where we see its hatch that gives access to the boot, its windshield that is also open and that is accompanied by a windshield wiper. Also its brake or stop lights keeping the same air of the first model of series, and its double exhaust outlets embedded in the bumper.
Internally
The interior of the Range Rover Chieftain is impressive from every point of view, starting with the upholstery of its seats in beige leather which extends to the upholstery of the doors. The dashboard looks very elegant in black, accompanied by a touch screen full color with various interesting applications that make up the infotainment. In the same way we get a keypad under the screen located next to the gear lever and the steering wheel located on the right side.
Mechanical characteristics
The Rangetain Chieftain rides an impressive supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine, the same that we can find in a Cadillac CTS-V. This engine is capable of generating about 560 horsepower associated with an automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive. Definitely the Range Rover Chieftain is a classic car but updated to new times.
