It's not uncommon for vehicles that have become popular to have an up market counterpart. That was the Range Rover line introduced in 1970 for the Land Rover. In the late 80s, just when the Land Rover Series III was ending its life cycle after about 40s years on the road.

It defined a new category of all-terrain four-wheel drive utility vehicles for just about every segment of society, from the military, to scientific exploration all the way to the family. But there would now be a product void that won't be addressed by the upscale Range Rover.

Hence, the company thought it best to introduce a new model based on the drive train and chassis of the Range Rover but at a reduced price point aimed precisely at the large budget-conscious market and to compete with similar offerings from Japan. Enter the Land Rover Discovery 1 - the first in a series that was introduced in the UK markets in 1989.

The Discovery was first introduced as a 3-door model with the larger 5-door model made available the following year. With partner Honda, it was marketed as the Honda Crossroad in Japan until 1999, a good 5 years after the business relationship was ended with the purchase of the Rover Group by BMW in 1994.

Borrowing Designs from other Rovers

The Rover Group took in a 3rd party design consultant, the Conran Design Group in London, to help them design a more apt interior for an off-roader positioned more as a lifestyle accessory than its Range Rover portfolio.

It resulted in some remarkable designs that won critical adulation and a British Design Award in 1999 for its custom sunglass holder right in the center of the steering wheel. Other interior design features were holdovers retained from a Range Rover design mockup that now found their way into the Discovery, like map/magazine holder above the windscreen, hands-holders behind the front seat headrests, remote radio controls, twin removable sunroof panels, among many others.

In essence, the interior's basic structure was Range Rover with the switchgear and instrumentation taken from the Maestro and Montego line of the Rover. Its exteriors likewise was borrowed from other Rover vehicles like the headlights from the Freight Rover and taillights from the Maestro van.

Other Features

Before 1994, the Discovery 1 came with a choice of the 2.5 liter Tdi diesel or the 3.5 liter V8 engines. A 2.0 litter Discovery was introduced to attract the market for fleet users and to benefit from tax breaks on cars with such engine displacements and below but it was eventually scrapped as it was underpowered for the heavy Discovery body.

1994 was the year the Discovery was introduced in the US with the usual nod to the stringent US motor vehicle requirements. There have been improvements to its as well such as Bosch electronic emissions control, a stronger R380 gearbox, a more comfortable right, larger headlights and secondary set of bumper rear lights. Most of these improvements had to comply with newer European road safety rules as well. The 1995 US models used a more powerful 3.9 litter V8 from the Range Rover SE model and was later increased to 4.0 liter displacements from 1996 onwards with better fuel injection and a new distributorless engine management system called GEMS.

The Land Rover Discovery 1 ended its product life cycle in 1998 and has since become a favourite among SUV enthusiasts for really heavy payload and tough off-road work. It is common to see them modified with bull bars, larger tires, traction differentials and suspension lifts that make the Discovery a most sought-after 4x4 vehicle.

Legend Of Honda Type-R

The H logo on the red background with white paint, newly modified engine and red Recaro seats" A short phrase to define the type-R version from Honda. Type-R stands for Type Racing which was develop to satisfy the need for speed lovers. It was started in Japan at the beginning of the year 1990.

However, the project wasn't start as a type-R project so you can't actually call it a type-R. It started from the Civic SiR product line with the vehicle body code EF9 in the year 1991 and later EG6 and EG9 SiR in the year 1992. This version of Honda Civic is the first version came with a B16A engine, sporty interior and a fully modified suspension for the additional horsepower.

Later in the year 1992, the first type-R product line was released to the market. It is the special edition Honda NSX type-R. Honda produced the NSX-R in a limited amount and the car weight was reduced from 1,350 kilograms to 1,230 kilograms.

The type-R was well known for being a modified version for the Honda Civic EK body and the Honda Integra, a sport from the same fundamental during 1,998,000-2,500,000 Yen or only about 670,000-825,000 THB while the NSX reach 10 million yen or about 3 million baht, an affordable price for middle class people who are addicted to speed.

The Civic type-R under body code EK9 comes with a B16B engine which was modified for additional horsepower, the 1.6 liters engine with the total amount of 185 horsepower. It is a well recognized engine without the air compression system or known as NA for being one of the best engines that can produce the most horsepower per 1 liter engine. While the DC2 Integra with a B18C-R engine, 1.8 liters and 200 horsepower with a 5 speed manual transmission.

5 years later, the code EK9 and DC2 sill recognize by the Honda Civic and Integra fans but the Honda motor company doesn't stop so they came out with the new EP3 Civic and DC5 Integra with the newly change engine from the B family engine to the K20A, 2.0 liters i-VTEC which can yield approximately about 200 to 220 horsepower.

The Honda NSX-R role was decrease and they came out with NSX type-S Zero instead in the year 1997. The NSX-R came back again in the year 2000.

Why the type-R logo must come with the H logo on red background? It is because the first Honda formula-one car that won the grand prix in the year 1960 was painted in championship white and the H logo on red background. Their intention is to keep the sensation of the race from the track to the present Honda cars. In the present there are only the type-R version, all race car and formula one cars that are currently using this logo.
