Land Rover continues to build up the hype for the
unveiling of the next-gen Defender by releasing more images of yet another
camouflaged prototype. This one sports a special pattern that highlights the
company’s sponsorship of the Invictus Games and reveals a less-camouflaged
front end.
One of the first people to see it live was Prince
Harry, from his position as Patron of the Invictus Games Foundation. The Duke
of Sussex was photographed next to the Defender while speaking to an athlete. He will also participate at a
celebration event in Zuiderpark, Netherlands, where he will meet the organizers
of the Invictus Games The Hague 2020.
Aside from checking out the new Defender with Dutch
Invictus Games medal winner Jack Pastora, Prince Harry will experience JLR’s
prototype Mobility Door technology in a Range Rover Sport. Assisting him will
be the winner of the 2014 Games JJ Chalmers, TV presenter and former Royal
Marines solider. This system allows occupants to open and close the doors at
the push of a button, without having to reach out to pull them shut.
The 2020 edition of the Invictus Games will take
place between May 9 and 16, 2020, in The Hague, and will see 500 wounded
servicemen and women, from 19 countries, competing in a series of adaptive
sports.
