Land Rover has revealed a Transparent Bonnet virtual imaging concept - part of a suite of new concept technologies to be showcased at the New York Motor Show.

Pioneering technology is being developed to give Land Rover drivers a digital vision of the terrain ahead by making the front of the car 'virtually' invisible.

The technology enables a driver climbing a steep incline to see an augmented reality view capturing the terrain in front of the car and also the angle and position of the front wheels

Cameras located in the vehicle's grille capture data used to feed a Head-Up Display, effectively creating a 'see-through' view of the terrain through the bonnet and engine bay, breaking new ground in visual driver assistance.

The technology, named Transparent Bonnet by its creators, shows how advanced technology will take Land Rover's unrivalled capability to the next level.

Opening the doors to Jaguar Land Rover's advanced research, the Discovery Vision Concept car is a design and technology showcase which will be unveiled in full at the New York International Auto Show on 16^th April 2014.

The concept demonstrates Land Rover's design vision for a future family of premium SUVs built on Land Rover's key principles of emotive design, unrivalled capability and ultimate versatility.

From the city to the sand dunes, Land Rover's new driver-assisting technology will enable safer, smarter and more enjoyable driving in the SUVs of tomorrow.
