Child-focussed humanitarian and development agency World Vision Ireland, has warned that most glossy beauty products are likely to contain ingredients gathered by children in mines and on farms in low-income countries. Cruelty free products may not involve animal testing, but they are likely to include ingredients procured from child labour, according to World Vision’s latest report ‘The High Price of Beauty’.
Italian coachbuilder Ares Design has uncovered a new project, the Land Rover Defender Spec 1.2, based on a classic 110 SW donor vehicle.
Following in the footsteps of the 2018 model, it’s been extensively modified, sporting carbon fiber body parts, custom bonnet, fender flares, new rounded LED lights at both ends and tinted windows.
The off-roader rides on the coachbuilder’s 18-inch five-spoke wheels, shod in 305/70 Cooper Discoverer STT Pro tires, and it also features underbody protection, side exhaust, 35 mm (1.4 in) lift kit and new adjustable suspension with two settings: soft and sport.
An upgraded braking system, with larger performance discs and six-piston calipers, provides the stopping power, while setting it in motion is the same 4.7-liter V8 engine used in the 2018 project, rated at 280 HP and 325 lb-ft (440 Nm) of torque, and mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
