In 1998 the Freelander was used in the Camel Trophy, and took part in the company's own G4 Challenge. The vehicle had patented features including the intermediate reduction drive, which acted as a front differential and fixed-ratio transfer, a viscous coupling to vary torque, and Hill Descent Control, which Land Rover later put on the rest of its range. It had a traction control system and a special ABS made by Wabco.
