Kahn Teaser RS250 Range Rover Evoque

This is something new. Kahn Design releasing a teaser? Must be something big. In all honesty, it is big. A Range-Rover Evoque kind of big. It’s will be called the RS250 and all we have for now is this sketch. The release date is set for sometime in July this year.

As we have established, the base product is an Evoque. And that’s a hard piece of motoring to ruin. The sketch looks good but those LEDs on the side of the bumper simply seem too much. But hey, it’s a fashion statement so why not.

Rather surprisingly however, the overhaul will go beyond that. Yes, there will be an engine upgrade which is still kept in secret. Also, the whole program will be divided into two stages – 1 and 2.

Stage 1 will include a front bumper complete with fog lights and 3d mesh inserts (the upper grille will also be new with 3d mesh). Count the LED in as well. For the back a bumper is intended, that has diffuser which houses the tips of the stainless steel twin central crosshair exhaust system. A bootlid spoiler complements the whole look. The Evoque’s stance should be lower as well. And meaner with the 22” RS-XF alloy wheels. As a finishing touch there’s going to be a hood/roof stripe painted on.

Stage 2 will further add wide wheel arches (as if the Evoque lacks that), side skirts and a roof spoiler.

This being Khan Design, one can imagine that the whole program can be rather flexible – additional components for the exterior and the interior as well, will be available.

2012 Kahn Range Rover Evoque Vesuvius – Exceptional and “Screaming” for Attention

2012 Kahn Range Rover Evoque Vesuvius is the latest creation by the exceptional UK-based tuning company Kahn Design. Since its last modification on Range Rover Evoque became highly appreciated and received much acclaim, the designers have decided to make another exceptional tuning on the same model.

What we can effortlessly see is that the so called “Vesuvius” tuning brings even more style and charisma to the Evoque model. This visual appearance will undoubtedly satisfy any customer, who wants to be unique.

Kahn’s Evoque Vesuvius is entirely colour coded, in terms of interior and exterior. The visual appearance is striking and “screams” for attention. I am pretty sure it receives it whenever it runs through the streets.

As you can see this modification is made with the outstanding craftsmanship of Kahn Design’s tuners. A lot of attention has been put on every detail thus giving it more elegance, styling and charismatic stance.

In particular in the exterior modifications are included: Front Bumper Section in Matt Pearl Grey, Front Bumper Section in Matt Pearl Grey, Rear Diffuser in Matt Pearl Grey, Side Vents in Matt Pearl Grey, Vented Foot Pedals in Machined Aluminum, Brake Calipers Finished in Vesuvius Orange, Carbon Tailgate Trim, Diamond Gear Selector, Door Entry Sill Plates in Stainless Steel, Lowered Sports Suspension.

Furthermore, an additional twin Crosshair Exhaust System in Stainless Steel has been centered on a radical design. It captures and reflects an attraction to a Pluto-matic lifestyle.

On the other hand the interior of this tuned Evoque is no less exceptional and unique. In fact, this model has astonishing interior through which anyone can recognize high-quality of craftsmanship.

In short- the interior has been upgraded to a magnificent level with the help of: door panel tops in quilted and perforated leather with orange stitching interior; floor mats – black charcoal finish; piano black trim to gear surround; red rev counter; red speedo; black quilted and perforated leather with alcantara inserts and Vesuvius orange leather detailing.

2012 Kahn Range Rover Evoque Vesuvius Interior

At last but not least there has to be mentioned the wheels that this Evoque sits on – namely the unique RSXF wheels. They are a product of the evolution of artistic innovation and state-of-the art manufacturing and are available in 9×21 inch size.

2012 Geneva Motor Show: Prindiville Range Rover Evoque Convertible concept

Prindiville Range Rover Evoque Convertible concept was presented at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. This bold concept builds on the global success of the Evoque and continues Land Rover’s tradition of creating significant vehicles, which deliver luxury and style. In details, the soft-top convertible concept is based on the Range Rover Evoque Coupe. It includes entirely retractable premium roof system with a Roll Over Protection System [ROPS]. Furthermore, the concept combines capability and versatility with a drop down tailgate and a comfortable four seat package. The vehicleretaimns key characteristics from the Land Rover design philosophy, including a command driving position and all-terrain capability. Evoque’s rising waist line and specific shape has been retained. Hence, the new convertible body style has been achieved with minimal changes to weight and torsional rigidity. The hood is housed in a neat tapered finisher with the roof mechanism stowed discretely below the belt-line. Although Range Rover Evoque Convertible Concept was already revealed in Geneva 2012 it is only a design and engineering study. Unfortunately, there is no production plans confirmed.

2012 Geneva Motor Show: Range Rover Evoque Convertible

Land Rover has unveiled the special Range Rover Evoque Convertible at the 82^nd Geneva Motor Show.

It is powered by a 2.2 liter disel with 150PS and 190PS. There is also a 240PS 2.0 liter petrol engine. The performance and fuel consumption suffer, but no so much. Mainly, because of the added extra weight and strengthening. The soft-top retracting mechanism is neatly snug below the belt-line and the distinctive shape of the original has been preserved to near perfection.

The Convertible Evoque boasts a lot of extras Terrain Response, surround cameras, Park Assist, an 8” dual view touch screen and a Meridian sound system. The vehicle sits on 21” wheels in Titan silver finish.

The design looks really stunning, but it is way better than Nissan’s creation from two years ago. Range Rover Evoque Convertible will be well appreciated by the customers for sure.

Range Rover Evoque Convertible Concept

Get ready for something new. Although the markets today are flooded with all kinds of SUV’s, Land Rover are going to introduce one that will fascinate the world. Welcome to the Land Rover Evoque Convertible Concept. A world debut is set for the 82nd Geneva Motor Show in no more than two weeks time.

The Convertible Concept is actually a standard Evoque Coupe that has sped through a really, really low bridge and the hard top was scraped clean off the car. Well, it is actually more complicated than that, but it will have the Evoque’s engine lineup – a 2.2-liter diesel with 150bhp or 190bhp, and a 240bhp 2.0-liter petrol unit. That may come as a disappointment for some as it is common knowledge that making a convertible takes some extra weight and strengthening. The soft-top retracting mechanism is neatly snug below the belt-line and the distinctive shape of the original has been preserved to near perfection.

Inside, one still gets a hefty amount of Evoquishness – Terrain Response, surround cameras, Park Assist, an 8-inch dual view touch screen and a Meridian sound system. Predominant colors in the passenger area are Lunar and Ivory while outside, the body work is Causeway Grey metallic, complemented by 21-inch wheels that have a Titan silver finish.

The Evoque Convertible Concept really does look like a bathtub with a windshield but in a sort of a cool way. We really like the uncanny feel that this car radiates and we hope other people like it too. Production is still questionable and most likely the Geneva Show will play a decisive role in the concept’s future. Should the reception turn out positive we might see it in a couple of years on the streets.

Arden Range Rover Evoque

“Auto Motor und Sport” is one of the well known automotive magazines in Germany and recently its readers voted the Range Rover Evoque as the most popular import SUV in the country. That is good news for Arden, a tuning house based in Germany that has more than 40 years of experience with British carmakes. Naturally, now they have introduced some enhancements for the Evoque which will give that extra character a good SUV deserves.

In a frontal view, the Arden Evoque makes an impression with its new, handmade, stainless steel mesh grill that has the company’s typical patterns. A party piece further back is the addition of illuminated side stainless steel pipes. They have been specially designed for the Evoque and subsequently they fit perfectly. You can use a remote control to turn them on for that instant glamor and functionality as well – light can come in handy when getting in or out.

Sadly the Arden Evoque won’t be too fit for off-roading for the springs are also of a special kind – the 30mm lower kind – while that might be viewed as a slight disadvantage, it does give the SUV an attractive road stance.

It’s not all shell decorations with the Arden people. The Evoque’s 2.2 Diesel engine has underwent an ECU tweak with an end result of 30 hp more power and 50 Nm additional torque. That may not sound a lot but it will certainly be felt at low and medium engine speeds.

Startech Range Rover Evoque 3-door

Startech has announced the tuned version of Range Rover Evoque 3-door, which is turned from nice to amazing SUV. The vehicle was exhibited at the 2011 Dubai International Motor Show.

Startech Evoque 3-door comes with complete aggressive body, a set of huge 9J x 21” forged alloy wheels wrapped in 265/40 R 21 Continental tires.

All body components are manufactured in OEM quality from high-grade Pur-R-Rim plastics.

The interior is also revised by installing an ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel and aluminum pedals. There are also a new foot rest and a gear shifter. The finest leather and Alcantara in any desired color are used for the seats and door panels. The trim is from wood or carbon-fiber also in any desired color and with a wide variety of surface finishes.

The mighty 2.0 liter SI4 turbocharged petrol has received a performance package, but there is not data about the new power. Originally, it produces 240PS (177 kW).

Marangoni Range Rover Evoque

Here is a nice way to spoil e beautiful car – just add red tires, strange rims and a lot of carbon fiber all over on your stylish Range Rove Evoque. The same thing did the Italian tire specialists from Marangoni, who exhibited the “tuned” Evoque at the 2011 Bologna Motor Show.

The SUV also has a new body kit including redesigned front bumper and aluminum bonner with integrated air intakes, and a new rear bumper with an integrated carbon diffuser. There are also carbon wheel arches, boot handle, bottom door guards and mirror covers. The interior also features a lot of carbon fiber and some Alcantara.

The last “touch” are the 20” OZ Racing Dakar wheels wrapped in 255/30 ZR20 red M-Power tires.

Besides the ridiculous look, Marangoni Range Rover Evoque comes with 60PS (44 kW) more, which means a total of 300PS (225 kW) from the 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine. The original torque is 380Nm (280 lb-fT), but there is no data about the new one. The gain is thanks to a new turbocharger, larger stainless steel exhaust system with a 200 cell metal catalyst, and a new air intake. To make sure everything works perfectly, an ECU re-map has been made.

The performance is further improved by a complete braking system – Tarox B360 with 10-piston calipers and and 330×26 mm composite disks.
