Scoop: New Range Rover Sport Filmed in the Mojave Desert

Wednesday, January 30, 2013


Vast as it may be, the Mojave Desert is a good place to begin your search for automotive engineers trialing camouflaged prototypes of future models. The scoopsters at KGP Photography know this all too well and were on hand to record a number of 2014 Range Rover Sport test cars. Read more »

Future Cars: Conceptualizing the 2014 Range Rover Sport

Wednesday, January 2, 2013


Drug dealers and gangsters unite (and of course the rest of us who like a sporty Rangie); the British off-road specialists are re-imagining their entrant to the hyper SUV market - that being the all-new Range Rover Sport.

The current generation of the Sport has been with us since 2005 as a sportier alternative to the larger Range Rover. It's been a hit with the trendy suburbanites and downtown corporate suites here and in Europe - although in the latter land they're mainly used for transporting hit-men and smugglers.

This is a lucrative market and Land Rover knows it, hence why the brand is expanding its lineup of luxury off-roaders.

U Spy: Can You Tell Which Range Rover Models were Spotted in France?

Thursday, November 1, 2012


The wait for the regular 2013 Range Rover Mk4 might be over, but Land Rover is far from done with the series as the British firm has more models heading our way in the next year or so.

The ones we know are coming for sure are the more athletic looking and smaller in size Range Rover Sport, and on the other end of the spectrum, a more luxuriously equipped version of the Range Rover with a longer wheelbase (LWB).

In a recent trip to France, CarScoop reader and owner of the LandRoverHell website, Glenn B., spotted a group of camouflaged Land Rover prototypes and was able to rattle off some quick spy shots for us with his mobile phone.

Spy Shots: New 2014 Range Rover Long-Wheelbase Model Promises More Space for Rear Passengers

Wednesday, September 12, 2012


Land Rover will offer a long-wheelbase (LWB) version of its luxury Range Rover model and we have proof for this in the form of these spy shots of a disguised prototype model undergoing speed tests at the Nürburgring track.

As you see for yourself in the pictures, the upcoming addition to the recently revealed 2013 Range Rover Mk4 lineup sports a longer wheelbase (reportedly around 150mm / 5.9 inches) and longer rear doors.

Are These the First Official Photos of the 2013 Range Rover?

Tuesday, August 14, 2012


Land Rover hasn't exactly managed to keep the new 2013 Range Rover under wraps with spies even getting a few shots of the luxury SUV at its UK plant, but today, a pair of allegedly official photos have been making the internet rounds.

The two pictures made their way on various forums and sites including Ovalnews and Jalopnik, with one of the images appearing to be sourced from Auto Express, which has since removed the photo from the web post (though you can still see it here).

While we cannot vouch for the authenticity of the images just yet, what we see here seems to match the 2013 Range Rover prototype models spied over the past year or so.

Scoop: Next Range Rover Sport gets Some Time on the Nürburgring

Tuesday, August 7, 2012


Given that Range Rover (regular or Sport) drivers devote if not all, most of their ride time on the road, it shouldn't surprise anyone that Land Rover engineers are honing the next generation of the firm's full size SUV at the Nürburgring in Germany.

The same 2014 Range Rover Sport prototype with the faux Volvo mask that our spies photographed in Germany last month has now been caught on film while performing a few quick laps on the Nordschleife.

2013 Land Rover Range Rover Exposed in Leaked Shot

Monday, July 16, 2012


A single picture of the 2013 Range Rover SUV caught without any camouflage other than a light protective white skin on its clamshell bonnet made its way online today, courtesy of MotorAuthority (not the spy shots you see pictured here).

The image along with the article, however, was pulled down from the site without any explanation, but not before it made a world tour around the internet. If you missed out, our Dutch friends over at Autoblog.nl as well as Edmund's Insideline are just some of the sites that reposted the revealing picture.

Scoop: Land Rover Masks New 2014 Range Rover Sport as a…Volvo


Not that you can do much to hide the identity of any full-size Range Rover model…especially when it’s entering the brand's facility at the Nürburgring, but Land Rover engineers tried to confuse our spy photographers with a Volvo-like grille on one of their Range Rover Sport prototypes.

Like the current model, the next Range Rover Sport is a more dynamic looking variation of the larger Range Rover SUV.

Artist Imagines Sporty Range Rover Evoque R with Supercharged V6

Thursday, July 5, 2012


A string of unsubstantiated rumors concerning Land Rover's intent to develop a high-performance version of the Range Rover Evoque provided the inspiration for a digital mockup of what such a model could look like from the crew over at PS-Garage.

The so-called Range Rover Evoque R was envisioned as a three-door model powered by the Jaguar-Land Rover group's newly announced 3.0-liter supercharged V6 delivering up to 375hp (380PS) and 460Nm (339 lb-ft) in the upcoming Jaguar F-Type roadster.

Thursday, June 28, 2012


If you are not content with the spy photos of Land Rover's all-important, next generation Range Rover and would like to see the luxury SUV in action, then you'll be pleased to know that Carscoop reader Jay M. has tipped us off about a video showing two prototype models on a highway in Dubai.

The YouTube poster notes: "I saw two 2013 Range Rover prototypes driving down the Dubai Bypass Road this morning on their way from the Al Tayer Motors facility in Dubai Investment Park out to the desert for hot weather testing."

2014 Range Rover SUV Speculatively Rendered from Spy Shots

Wednesday, May 30, 2012


With recent prototypes of the 2014 Range Rover having dropped all of their heavy cladding and simply relying on patches of camouflage to hide the luxury SUV's styling from the prying eyes of scoop photographers, it was only a matter of time before someone attempted to photoshop the new model.

Spy Shots: New Range Rover Strips Down to the Metal

Monday, May 21, 2012


These are by far our best pictures yet of the all-new, fourth generation Range Rover, as our spies managed to snag a prototype model without all the plastic cladding of the previous test cars.

Even though Land Rover engineers have covered select parts of the body with black and white decals that look like they came straight out of the Matrix, these new images afford us a clear view of the upcoming premium SUV's shape.

SPIED: 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Spotted Testing, we get Our First Peek at the Interior

Wednesday, February 1, 2012


We have another round of spy shots of the all-new 2013 Land Rover Range Rover. While the exterior of the British firm's luxury SUV continues to wear plenty of camouflage, our scoopsters were able to snag the first photos of the Range Rover's interior.

If you pay close attention to the pictures, you'll notice several changes including the repositioned main air-vents that are mounted on the same level as the audio and navigation screen on the current model. Right below we find a massive screen for the infotainment system that takes plenty of real estate on the center stack.

The lower console is also new and seems to be positioned slightly higher than before.

SPIED: Odd Looking Range Rover Sport Prototype May be Testing Hybrid Powertrain

Monday, October 24, 2011


Automakers tend to use test mules that typically combine body parts of an existing model with chassis and/or mechanical components of a next generation vehicle in the early stages of development for testing purposes.

This seems to be the case with the Range Rover Sport prototype caught by our scoop photographers out on the road in Europe.

SCOOP: Watch the 2013 Range Rover Being Thrashed Around the 'Ring in New Spy Video

Monday, October 17, 2011


You have probably already seen the spy shots, but this time, our intrepid scoopsters managed to snag the next generation of Land Rover's luxurious Range Rover SUV on film while testing in and out of the Nurburgring race track.

The Range Rover is long overdue for replacement as the current model has its roots back in the period when Land Rover was owned by the BMW Group. Planned and developed by the Bavarian company, the third generation was introduced in 2002 and was subsequently revised under the ownership of Ford and more recently, Tata Motors.

U Spy: Land Rover Prototypes Snapped Running Around Death Valley

Sunday, September 25, 2011


While travelling through Death Valley in Eastern California, Carscoop reader Perry D. stumbled upon a convoy of Land Rover prototypes including the compact five-door Range Rover Evoque and the full-size 2013 Range Rover luxury SUV.

We're not sure what the camo'ed up Evoque test cars with the swirly-whirly disguise were doing in Death Valley as the five-door model was unwrapped at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show and is bound to go on sale in the States in October.

SPIED: New, Evoque-Inspired 2013 Range Rover Hits the 'Ring

Friday, August 19, 2011



Only last week, we brought you spy pictures of the all-new 2012 Range Rover, but our man with the long lens has once again managed to capture the luxury 4x4, this time, in and out of the Nordschleife.

The company’s test drivers put the zebra-dressed Range Rover prototype through its paces to check out different suspension settings and evaluate its on-road high-speed behavior and agility.

2013 Range Rover Spied Out in the Open wearing New Body

Monday, August 15, 2011



An all-new model will soon replace one of the oldest but undeniably, still one of the best-looking and most capable vehicles in the premium SUV segment, the Range Rover.

The upcoming Range Rover will be the fourth generation model following the original that was produced from 1970 to 1996, the second iteration that lasted from 1994 to 2001, and the current version that has been in production since 2002.

While the current model has the unique distinction of being developed by three different companies as it was planned and designed under the leadership of the BMW Group, updated by Ford when the latter bought Land Rover, and revised when the British company landed in the hands of India's Tata Motors, the fourth-gen Range Rover will be the work of Tata.

SCOOP: Land Rover Spotted Testing the 2013 Range Rover

Wednesday, June 8, 2011


Although roughly less than two years away from launch, Land Rover continues to use engineering mules to test the next generation of its Range Rover model. And by mules, we mean that the British firm is utilizing a modified body of the current luxury SUV with a different front end and beefier wheel arches hiding the wider tracks of the new platform architecture.

And while the 2013 Range Rover’s looks remain a mystery for now, we do know that it will adopt a new lightweight aluminium chassis using know-how from the group’s Jaguar brand. Furthermore, the new model will feature an alloy body shell while certain components will be made of composite materials.

SPIED: 2012 Range Rover Evoque 5-Door Version

Monday, August 23, 2010


Land Rover's newly revealed baby Range Rover model, the Evoque, will also be offered in a more practical five-door body style as these latest spy photos confirm. Last month, the British firm pulled the wraps off the three-door Evoque, which will arrive in European showrooms next summer with North America and other regions to follow in the fall of the same year. The five door version pictured here testing at the Nurburgring, will most likely go on sale in the first half of 2012.
