We previously reported that the next-generation Range Rover will come in 2012 and just a few days ago some spy sots of the new generation Range Rover confirmed our report: Land Rover works hard and tests its Range Rover in all kind of conditions. While our previous spy shots show the upcoming Range Rover during hot weather testing in Southern Europe, today we have for you the latest spy photos of this model taken during its hi-speed testing.
It’s hard, but that’s the life of the new Range Rover that arrived to the Nürburgring earlier this evening for some serious testing in the “Green Hell”. As you can see from these pictures, one guy was trying to cover the car up, but he failed in a funny funny way, so that we wanted to share this set with you.
Unfortunately, isn’t the time yet for us to see all the secrets of this car, not because of that guy with the jacket, but because it wears a lot of cammouflage. Still you can notice the full LED headlights.
No official details were released, but rumors are talking about that the new platform is a modified Jaguar XJ platform that has been strengthen on vital places to make sure the off-road capabilities will remain top of the line. Beside this, the new Range Rover is also told to be much lighter than the current one, thanks to more aluminum used on both chassis and body, so it will likely be more faster than the current model.
The new generation Range Rover will get his power from both diesel and petrol engines known from the current line-up, even if slightly upgraded, and there will also be two hybrid versions. In conclusion, the new model will be available both as diesel hybrid and as petrol hybrid when it will be official in late 2012 or early 2013.
As for the prices, some rumors say that the new car will be priced around $90-100,000, but that remains to be seen. Until then you can check out our photo gallery below and share your views about this model.
