(MAHWAH, NJ) - March 2, 2015 - Land Rover has confirmed production of the Range Rover Evoque Convertible, on sale in 2016, by releasing a unique underground testing film.

One hundred and thirty-one feet below the streets of London, ÚK, the first prototype of the new Range Rover Evoque Convertible was granted exclusive access to the 26-mile (42km) network of Crossrail tunnels for a unique development test. Engineers were allowed the opportunity to drive the disguised Evoque Convertible with its roof lowered in complete privacy.

The short film begins with the highly-capable convertible being lowered into the tunnel network by crane, before negotiating a range of obstacles through the 20 foot (6.2 meter) diameter tunnel.

Murray Dietsch, Director of Land Rover Programs said, 'The tunnels are still under construction, so we had a unique opportunity to explore the vehicle's all-terrain ability in unchartered territory.'

Land Rover will announce further details about its exclusive new premium compact SÚV Convertible later this year. It will be built alongside the Range Rover Evoque five-door and coupe at the Halewood Land Rover plant in the ÚK.
