Land Rover to Premiere Range E Diesel-Electric Plug-in Hybrid at Geneva Show

The new Land Rover Range_e diesel-electric plug-in prototype that was first teased back in May, 2010, will make its motor show debut at next month's Geneva Salon. The Range_e is said to be one of several working prototypes currently being developed at Land Rover's design and engineering centre in the UK. It is based on the Range Rover Sport model and features a 3.0-litre V6 turbocharged diesel engine with an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission mated to an, as-of-yet unspecified, electric motor and battery pack.

The British automaker said the all-wheel drive prototype can run purely on electricity for up to a distance of 20 miles or approximately 32 kilometers and emits as low as 89g/km of CO2. The Range_e also has a top speed of 120 mph or 193 km/h and a combined driving range of 690 miles or 1,110 kilometers.

The Range_e will be joined at Land Rover's Geneva Motor Show stand by two new Limited Editions, the Range Rover Autobiography Ultimate and the 2011 Discovery 4 'Landmark' with Black and White themes.

Land Rover added that it will also be announcing full European pricing (excluding UK) for the new Range Rover Evoque in both 3- and 5-door forms, and will also showing a comprehensive range of accessories and options for the vehicle.

Gerry McGovern, Land Rover design director said: "Customers like to make their own unique statement with a vehicle and we have provided individuals with lots of opportunity to personalise their new Range Rover Evoque, whilst maintaining the essence of the design."

Project Kahn Presents yet Another Tune for the Range Rover

If you have been following our previous posts on the various Land Rover and Range Rover models tuned by Project Kahn, you may have noticed that they all look eerily similar. And, while there’s nothing wrong with being consistent, we can’t shake the feeling that some different mods would be beneficial. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen with the Range Rover Vogue 4.4 Diesel RS450 despite its fresh bodykit.

The new front bumper with “3D mesh inserts”, the revised rear bumper housing a diffuser, RS side skirts with steel finish and front grille aren’t that bad, but we get the distinct feeling that we’ve already seen them somewhere else…

Additionally, the RS450 comes with a modified stainless steel exhaust system with four exhaust tips and the also familiar 22-inch Kahn RSX alloys.

Inside, the dashboard received no less than 14 new trim pieces with steel or piano black finish and clock fascia available in multiple colors, complemented by Swarovski diamond inserts. Other appointments include the stainless steel sill plates, leather key ring and red key insert with Kahn logo.

range rover

The Range Rover is a luxury vehicle, which is very much like a jeep. It is actually a sports utility vehicle, more commonly referred to as a SUV. Manufactured in the United Kingdom by Land Rover, the Range Rover has enjoyed tremendous success in its tenure as one of the most stylish SUVs around. First released in 1970, the Range Rover has remained at the forefront and has been widely regarded as one of the best cars ever.

The original concept of the Range Rover was developed by British Leyland, back in 1970. Since then, the car has been under the ownership of various automobile manufacturing giants, and they all have done justice to this majestic vehicle. The car is still produced today, and newer models are released every year. So far, there have been three distinct major generations of the vehicle that have been produced, and all of them have enjoyed tremendous success. For a major part of its life, the Range Rover was known by its original name only, until Land rover decided that they should do something to differentiate its elegance and hence, they renamed the original model as the Range Rover Classic.
