Caixa de 9 velocidades? Já se anda a cair no ridículo ...
Não se engane: este não é um cavalo facelift zebra completa, mas um modelocompletamente novo. O carro, conhecido internamente com o codinome "L405", é consideravelmente mais leve que o mastodonte atual. Insiders estamos falando de umaeconomia de 20 por cento, o que seria de cerca de 400 kg (!) A média de perda de peso.
A razão para esta enorme redução é a utilização de uma estrutura de alumínio, quetoma emprestado de Jaguar Land Rover. A marca irmã (também de propriedade daindiana Tata) usa uma construção semelhante para o XJ e XK, que é, portanto, muitomais leve que a maioria dos concorrentes.
O menor peso também desempenha um papel importante na redução das emissões de CO2 bastante elevada do Range Rover. Mas há mais: a nova geração de estréiaum novo grupo motopropulsor híbrido. Range Rover Sport com o trem de força híbrido diesel emite apenas 89 gramas de CO2/km, de modo que é um bom augúrio para o futuro.

These exclusive spy images are the first concrete proof that the 2012 Range Rover will derive significant styling influences from the smash-hit new Evoque, even extending to the smaller Range Rover’s sloping roofline.
The add-on disguise atop this Range Rover prototype can’t cover up the fact that the roofline of the new model will dip dramatically towards the tailgate, moving Land Rover’s flagship luxury off-roader in a dramatic new styling direction.
Land Rover design boss Gerry McGovern signalled that the new Evoque would have a major influence on future Range Rover models when interviewed for Autocar earlier this year.
“The Evoque will inform the future Range Rover attitude,” he said. “There are aspects of the design that will be key. Range Rovers usually have a level window line and the body’s side and glass areas are equal. We’ve got rid of both on the Evoque, but we’ve still got the signature floating roof.”
Also new for the flagship Range Rover is a dramatically sloping front windscreen, a styling feature that adds sportiness to the design.
There’s also a much more aggressively sloping rear windscreen, again a design feature that enhances the sporty feeling of the design.
As well as adding appeal to the Range Rover’s exterior, a major focus of the new 4x4 is extra legroom in the rear cabin and a higher-grade design including more features to satisfy the increasing number of Range Rover owners using their car as a chauffeur-driven limo.
Fuel economy, ride and handling should be improved, too. The new Range Rover is constructed from rivet-fixed pressed alloy panels, just like the Jaguar XJ saloon, and is said to have shed at least 450kg, reducing the kerb weight to around 2200kg.

Thats the life of the new Range Rover 2013 that arrived to the Nurburgring earlier this evening for some serious testing in the “Green Hell”. Even if one guy was trying to cover the car up, he didn’t do a very good job and it looked somehow funny. Expect some photos from the Ring tomorrow as well when they take it out.
Btw, on the photos you can also notice the full LED headlights.

Radical new Range Rover revealed

An all-new, fourth-generation Range Rover flagship will be launched in autumn 2012 - and insiders claim it will be the most radical and technically advanced car in the brand’s history.
This exclusive image uses accurate information from company sources to show how Land Rover’s radical new range-topper will look when it replaces today’s Mk3 version, 11 years after the BMW-engineered model was first launched.
Codenamed L405, the Mk4 Range Rover picks up on the sporty styling of the new Evoque and, in so doing, drops a number of long-established Range Rover design cues. The interior will feature a big leap in quality and luxury, cementing the Range Rover firmly in the global market as an out-and-out luxury car.
The Range Rover Mk4 will be built around a new pressed aluminium monocoque, so it will be much lighter than the current car despite an increase in size. Nearly half a tonne should be lopped off the weight of today’s car. The new aluminium platform is slightly wider and around 25mm longer than today’s car.
However, the new architecture has allowed the rear wheels to be pushed further towards the back of the car. The upshot is that rear legroom has improved by as much as 125mm, allowing the rear cabin to compete against the most upmarket luxury cars. Longer rear doors will improve cabin access, too.
The new car has a more steeply raked windscreen and more of a sloping roofline than even today’s Range Rover Sport. The substantial headlamps and rear light clusters that are such a significant part of today’s car will be much slimmer and less obtrusive. Even the vent in the front wing is now dramatically slanted, reflecting the angle of the windscreen.
Although the interior design of today’s Range Rover is highly regarded, the new model is aiming even higher. Sources say the company wants to achieve “Bentley levels of craftsmanship and quality”, as befits a car that will cost over £100,000 in some guises. The luxurious interior of this year’s £130k Autobiography Ultimate Edition offers the best clues to the theme of the Mk4 model.
The car will have the same basic range of engines as today’s, including V6 and V8 diesels, and V8 and supercharged V8 petrols. However, some sources say that a petrol V6 and possibly a supercharged petrol V6 may also be offered. The new V6 made its debut in Jaguar’s C-X16 sports car concept at the Frankfurt show last month. The only V6 petrol engine currently on offer in a JLR product is a Ford unit that recently made a comeback in the XJ for sale in China only.
The new petrol V6 might also be used in a plug-in hybrid version, previewed this year in the Range_e concept. It’s expected to use a 69kW electric motor (integrated into the eight-speed automatic gearbox) with a 14kWh battery, giving it the ability to cover about 20 miles on pure electric power. The Range_e proved that a diesel-electric hybrid is possible, but a petrol-electric version is likely to be favoured because of its popularity in the US and Asia and its lower cost and weight.
All versions of the Mk4 Range Rover will be notably more economical than the current model. The main reason is the switch to the pressed and riveted aluminium monocoque. This should save about 450kg, allowing the entry-level TDV6 model’s CO2 rating to creep below 200g/km.
The new car is expected to share a floor and crash structure with the next-gen Jaguar XJ, but with a unique bulkhead, suspension mounts, seating position and subframes. The Range Rover is also expected to share a new electrical architecture with the XJ.
Jaguar Land Rover is poised to invest tens of millions in re-equipping Land Rover’s Solihull factory to build the aluminium structure. This structure will also underpin the next-gen (and seven-seat) Range Rover Sport. It could also be used for a fourth Range Rover model that would sit between the top-end Evoque and the entry-level Sport.
