Range Rover Fourth Model is Between Evoque and Sport

Range Rover has apparently discovered a hole in its lineup, namely between the baby Evoque and the larger Sport. Top brass are apparently looking at this gap as “white space” which can be pretty much filled with anything they can think of, just as long as it’s a certain size.

Motoring asked Land Rover design director Gerry McGovern if there was demand for such a vehicle. He said "Range Rover has a lot of equity because of product that's truly desirable, and you know with white space I think so.”

McGovern neither confirms nor denies the plan, choosing to simply smile and according to the source let us know there’s definitely more to the story.

Final bit of information he reportedly shared regarded the possible appearance of “something new from Land Rover” at the Frankfurt auto show in September.

The question that seems to go unanswered regards the possible body style it may adopt. Could it be a faux-coupe like the BMW X6 and Mercedes GLE-Coupe?

Range Rover Evoque By Hamann-Motorsport

The German tuning firm has prepared an assortment of upgrades starting with the SUV's exterior appearance.

A new wide bodykit adds 70mm to the Evoque's front axle and 80mm to the rear making space for the 22-inch alloy wheels that are available in a selection of colors and designs, while there are also front and rear aprons, rocker panels and a larger roof spoiler.

The cabin can be clothed in custom leather with decorative stitching, while other options include personalized trims and floor mats.

In the performance department, Hamann offers a power kit for all three available engines. In the case of the 150hp and 190hp 2.2-liter inline-four turbo diesels, the tuner's kit lifts output by 31HP and 65Nm (47.9 lb-ft), while the 240hp 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine receives a 38HP and 55Nm (40.5 lb-ft) boost.

A new 30mm lowered sports suspension helps (or at least promises to do so) improve the Evoque's stance and handling.

Range Rover Evoque by Kahn

 Land Rover's latest creation, the Range Rover Evoque, with a new package that takes care of both the exterior and interior of the compact crossover model.

For the outside, the British tuner proposes a new color scheme with a different color for the roof and matching details on the body such as the trim bits on the side vents and headlamps (in whatever color the customer wants), along with tinted windows, and a choice of alloy wheels designs in sizes 20- to 22-inches plus yellow painted brake calipers.

Moving on to the interior and even though we don’t get any pictures, Project Kahn says it offers far more individualization options.

Aside from aluminum pedals and a new touch screen sat nav, the tuner says it can apply a variety of materials in numerous colors on the seats, dashboard, headliner and door panels.
