Even if you haven"t been living under a rock for the past few years, you might not have heard of Projekt Grenadier. Allow us to very briefly explain The idea was born from the mind of Jim Ratcliffe chairman of chemical company Ineos and extremely wealthy fellow. He plans to design, develop and build a brand-new SUV from the ground up that will serve one purpose in its life to drive over that aforementioned rock with ease. The initial lightbulb moment came when Ratcliffe was down the pub (a pub called The Grenadier in fact, hence the name), and was mourning the death of the original Land Rover Defender. In essence, his passion project will be a work-horse of a 4x4.
