Both versions of Land Rover Defender Concept 100 - the already known DC100 and DC100 Sport - are currently on display at the New Delhi Auto Expo sporting with a new paintjob, consisting of Firenze Red paint for the body and a white roof.

The models were premiered at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show and are expected to hit the market in their final form in 2015, probably with 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines with hybrid and plug-in capabilities, start-stop technology, and mated to an 8-speed transmission. The current version of the Defender - as previously reported - should be able to extend its life until 2017.

Land Rover two official videos starring the two concept cars on display at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show: Land Rover DC100 e DC100 Sport. The footage shows us the two models strolling around in a desert and on beach, offering a few close-ups on some of the most interesting details.

The two models are basically an anticipation of what will become the new Defender, the iconic model from the British manufacturer that will soon exit the market. We just hope that despite the smoother and more friendly design of these two concepts, the next Defender will live up to the fierce off-road reputation of its predecessor.

Land Rover will bring two concept cars at the upcoming 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show: the DC100 and the DC100 Sport. The two models will be just a little different from the concepts showcased at the Frankfurt Motor Show, especially the DC100, that will sport a new two-tone color scheme using Heritage Blue and Candy Weiss.

Other new features will include 20″ alloy wheels fitted with Cooper tyres, roof rack and an intake snorkel for wading through deep water. Apparently Land Rover is using these DC100 concepts to verify the public reaction to their new ideas, in view of the possible debut of a DC100-based model in 2015 that will eventually replace the historic Defender.
