Hulu has a new show out called "The First," and
Land Rover provides some star power with a futuristic vision of one of its
vehicles. A Range Rover Sport built for the 2030s plays a part-time role in
this new series.
The First takes place in the not-too-distant future and
centers on a team of astronauts attempting to become the first humans on Mars.
Actress Natascha McElhone portrays the aerospace director building her team.
She is also the person piloting the special Range Rover Sport.
According to Land Rover, the SUV was designed with help from
Westward Productions as well as Hulu. It boasts fully self-driving capability
and there is a 360-degree Smart Light Bar sensor that communicates with other
vehicles and also reads the road conditions. Additionally, the steering wheel
itself can retract into the dashboard if it isn't being used.
Since this Range Rover Sport can drive itself, the occupants
can relax inside as the exterior glass can shift between fully transparent to
completely mirrored surface for privacy. Inside, the cabin can shift around as
needed based on the comfort and safety needs of those riding along. This future
Range Rover Sport is also fully electric and features a suspension that can
adapt to the desired driving dynamics of the owners.
What's most interesting about this fantasy Land Rover,
however, isn't the fake tech. It's the fact that it looks a lot like the already
in production Velar (shown above). If you want to pretend that you're
putting together a team of astronauts for a Mars mission, you can do so today.
Rather than waiting until 2030, just pop down to your local Land Rover dealer
and plunk down cash on the Velar.
If you do that, you get a Range Rover with near-concept-like
looks, funky pop-out door handles, and all of the off-road prowess for which
the brand is known.
