Range Rover Evoque Convertible Concept To Be Revealed At 2012 Geneva Motor Show
Land Rover will unveil a Range Rover Evoque Convertible Concept at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. The Evoque Convertible Concept vehicle will explore the potential for the world's first premium convertible SÚV.This bold concept builds on the global success of the Evoque and continues Land Rover's tradition for creating and leading new market §egmènts. The concept is being shown to gauge reaction and to assess the potential for what could be another white space product from the world's leading SÚV brand.
The concept has been developed by Land Rover Design Director, Gerry McGovern and his team. Commenting on the concept, McGovern said: 'The Evoque lends itself beautifully to the idea of a convertible. This study is not a traditional convertible design execution - instead we have worked wîth the balance of the Evoque's lines to retain its distinctive shape and create something that is unique and, we believe, highly desirable.'
The soft-top convertible concept is based on the Range Rover Evoque Coupe. It features a fully retractable premium roof system wîth a Roll Over Protection System ROPS. The concept cleverly combines capability and versatility wîth a drop down tailgate and a comfortable four seat package. The vehicle has been developed wîth Land Rover DNA at its heart, retaining key characteristics including a command driving position and all-terrain capability.The Evoque's dramatic rising waist line and distinctive shape has been retained and the new convertible body style has been achieved wîth minimal changes to weight and torsional rigidity. The hood is housed in a neat tapered finisher wîth the roof mechanism stowed discretely below the belt-line.
