The Range Rover Evoque Convertible Concept















The Range Rover Evoque Convertible Concept has made its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show. One of the most talked about vehicles at the Show, the Evoque Convertible Concept is the world's first premium SUV convertible.

It is a bold design study that builds on the current model's success and reflects Land Rover's expertise at identifying and leading new market segments. The soft-top concept vehicle features a fully retractable premium roof with a Roll Over Protection System [ROPS]. The convertible cleverly combines capability and versatility with a drop down tailgate and a comfortable four-seat set up.

Whilst there are no current plans to put the Evoque convertible into production, Land Rover will be gauging reaction to the concept and listening carefully to feedback.

Two new concepts from Land Rover investigate the potential future design direction of the iconic Defender.








Two new concepts from Land Rover



The concepts capture the flexibility, adaptability and configurability that have always been key attributes of Land Rover and continue in today's Defender. 

DC100 demonstrates the future of Land Rover capability and versatility.

DC100 Sport is an active expression of freedom and leisure.

Both concepts are based on the same lightweight, mixed-alloy platform.

Three-abreast 'social seating' is inspired by the very first Land Rovers.

Cutting-edge, sustainable, hi-tech materials taken from aerospace industries. 

The Terrain-i scanning device warns the driver of obstacles when off-roading and can suggest alternative routes.

Wade Aid uses sonar technology to assess water depth and advise the driver of optimum speed. 

Intelligent, next-generation, Land Rover Terrain Response system automatically optimises the car for any environment. 

Driver-activated spiked tyre system can be deployed at the touch of a button. 

Permanent four-wheel drive with an eight-speed transmission, Intelligent Stop/Start and a transfer case. 

Driveline Disconnect physically decouples the rear axle to save fuel when all-wheel drive is not required. 

2.0-litre, four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines with hybrid and plug-in capabilities. 

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Leisure key is a waterproof, lightweight alternative to the control fob. 

'Always-on' connectivity and telematics allow for car-to-smartphone, car-to-car and car-to-base communication.

Built-in induction charging stations throughout both concepts. 

Land Rover confirms its intention to launch a new Defender in 2015

NEW RANGE ROVER EVOQUE CONCEPT ROAD BIKE REVEALED AT GENEVA SHOW



NEW RANGE ROVER EVOQUE CONCEPT ROAD BIKE REVEALED AT GENEVA SHOW



•New Range Rover Evoque concept road bicycle

•Created by the Land Rover design team, under the direction of design director, Gerry McGovern

•Areodynamic and lightweight with Karbona carbon fibre monocoque frame

Geneva, 3 March 2011
Light, nimble and boasting a design that is clean, cool and utterly contemporary, the newest member of the Range Rover Evoque family breaks cover at the Geneva Motor Show. Created by the Land Rover design team, headed up by director, Gerry McGovern, the Evoque bike is a machine designed in every aspect to deliver fast, agile and secure road-racing performance.
The central element is a high modulus carbon fibre monocoque frame, crafted by Karbona using techniques derived from Formula 1. The oversized carbon fibre handlebar stem and aerospace alloy handle bars were specified to complement the rest of the bicycle, and are engineered to cope with the high torque developed by top-class sports cyclists and ensure safe control of the machine at high speeds.

The advanced composite construction allowed the seat tube section to be integrated into the frame ( where else are you going to put it! ) saving weight and extending the clean flow of the design. The steering components are colour-matched to the frame, which carries Range Rover and Evoque branding graphics. The transmission is a 20-gear Shimano Ultegra system.

The steering bearings are integrated into the head of the frame to reduce drag and the steering fork is also made of carbon fibre. Echoing the attention to luxury detailing that is fundamental to all Range Rover products, the drivetrain and braking systems are finished in matching black chrome and the saddle is upholstered in fine leather, with padded grip tape enhanced with silicone gel.
The wheels were specially commissioned for the Evoque project and have a strong visual impact. Formed from aero-profiled carbon fibre, they have a deep section designed to cut through the air quickly while maintaining stability.

Secure performance is further supported by the tyre tread, which is constructed from triple-density rubber compound with hard-wearing and high-grip qualities.
Gerry McGovern, Land Rover design director, a keen cyclist himself, said: "I wanted to create the ultimate accessory for the Range Rover Evoque – and what could be more perfect than an utterly contemporary, beautifully designed, bespoke Evoque bike. Like the Range Rover Evoque, the bike not only looks fantastic but is precision engineered for ultimate performance."
