As Land Rover’s Defender edges closer to extinction in its current British-built form, company bosses have reportedly declared that the final shape for the new version has been locked-in.

And a report from British mag Autocar appears to confirm a rumour that began a few months back regarding the Land Rover DC100 Concept from 2011 – the new model will look nothing like it.

The DC100 was unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show and was supposed to preview the Defender’s eventual replacement.

Land Rover designers have reportedly moved away from the DC100’s styling for the all-new model, but exactly what direction they have taken instead is unclear.

The report says the new shape won’t be a direct replacement for the current Defender, as sales for the sixty-plus year-old design in recent times have largely been driven by the knowledge it will soon be unavailable.
