Evoque [Spy Shots] Range Rover Evoque Cabriolet

[HMS]

what's next...?

the standard evoque already looks awkward to me.. now this? lol
you'd be surprised at what "some" people are willing to do with their cars here... i suspect this will sell like hot cakes in the GCC region.

My wife wouldn't be seen dead in that piece of rubbish.

^ I wonder if she might be influenced by her husband there

I can imagine this vehicle selling quite well.

 

[SDNR]

I'd have one of these over an A3 or the like.

It would look more authentic if it had a roll bar or roll cage.

That's about the ugliest G I've seen, I hope they don't still make these.

I'm guessing many of you aren't married so don't understand women very well

No single man on earth does

Range Rover Evoque Cabrio expected to go on sale this year, more derivatives possible

Range Rover Evoque Cabrio concept - 24.2.2012

Evoque SVR could happen
British media is reporting the Range Rover Evoque Cabriolet will go on sale sometime this year and should cost around £45,000.

It was at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show when Land Rover introduced the Range Rover Evoque Cabriolet concept but without any word about a production version. However, a spy image depicting a prototype emerged on the web last month, thus indicating the Evoque is about to lose its fixed metal roof to replace it with a retractable fabric soft top. It is believed Land Rover didn't give the model the green light right away because they wanted to thoroughly analyze the model's business case as the report suggests there weren't any issues regarding engineering the car which could have delayed its launch.

Chances are the car will be shown in production specification at the end of June during the Goodwood Festival of Speed with a design that will closely mirror the concept. It will boast a roll-over protection system clever enough not to activate during off-roading, but most likely very few open-air Evoques will actually leave the tarmac.

The report also mentions Land Rover through its Special Vehicle Operations division could be cooking up a high-performance Evoque that could wear the SVR badge in the same vein as the Range Rover Sport SVR.

It actually looks kinda... cute.

It's basically an Audi A3 Convertible Allroad.

What concerns me about this car is passenger protection. I would rather it have permanent roll hops than pop-up one. For example, I would not be caught driving a Nissan Murano CrossCovertibe down a mountain road. I'm not convinced my head would be protected should the car roll over.

The world's elite carmakers have been using pop up roll bars for over 20 years now, starting with the Mercedes SL. I think they've got it under control from a safety standpoint.

What a stupid, crass idea.

I would not be caught driving a Nissan Murano CrossConvertible full stop.

The Évoque will be interesting to watch it could become a trailblazer or then it could become a joke...

That's a blimey cool teaser. Range Rover Cabrio & Cross Rail Project = Hurray to British engineering and manufacturing. So that's the confirmation then, it will be on sale in 2016.

Although it's blasphemy, it's a car variant that very much suits Land Rover but also a bright reflection of how individual car buying has become. We are way past the days of only being able to chose between three car variants: Sedan, Estate, Coupe.

Volvo showed off a Cross-Country sedan earlier this year and although many people are disinterested, a car like that would sell like crumpets if it had a Range Rover or Jaguar badge.

We don't have wifes, girlfriends or children. Kiwirob is the only one here familiar with these strange things.

Well of course not. You're a smart man, I'm sure you'd find a much more elusive way to dispose of her body....I mean, that's gotta be the only reason you've stuck with the Forester.

Wait until it starts selling to all those yummy mummies, and then you'll see BMW lop the top of an X1, Audi butcher the Q3 and Mercedes do something to whatever they have. It's a good looking vehicle, hard not to be when it's an Evoque.

We know you don't. BTW girlfriends and wives are not the same at all.

Been there , evaluated that...

This is the precursor to the first X5.
The BMW Z18. In 1995 it was a vehicle ahead of its time.

Not even close Scott the Z18 was a two door jacked up sports car, nasty looking as well, not the same as the Evoque cabrio at all.

People have been chopping roofs off Range Rovers since they first rolled out the factory in the 70's, some looked really good, some were as nasty as the Z18.
