Watch a 500hp Ram SRT-10 Carrying a Life-Size Plastic Cow Race a Range Rover, X6M and ML63


As it turns out, adding a real life-size plastic cow to the bed of a Dodge Ram SRT-10 will not help you win a race, at least not one where speed is the operative parameter, but it will help you stand out from the crowd.

The cow-equipped SRT-10 featuring the Viper's 8.3-liter V10 engine with 500-horsepower went up against a Range Rover Sport Supercharged GT600 producing 600 ponies, followed by a stock Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG with 510-horses and a BMW X6M Evotech Stage 2 rated at 630hp.

There's a video just after the break for your enjoyment.

Land Rover to Spice Up Evoque with Victoria Beckham Special Edition


Now that Victoria Beckham has found some time to finish her work with Land Rover, the British automaker is ready to introduce the first special edition version of the Evoque compact crossover named after the former Spice Girl.

More precisely, Land Rover tells us that the new model is called the "Range Rover Evoque Special Edition with Victoria Beckham", though we'll have to assume that the company will probably put a disclaimer somewhere in the fine print saying that Posh Spice is not actually included with the car…

Project Kahn Unveils Sultry Red Ranger


Red isn't a color you often see on large premium SUVs like the Range Rover, but if properly done, it actually doesn't look half bad. Naturally, as with most other colors, it all depends on the shade of red, which can make or break a vehicle's looks.

The deep red used on Project Kahn's tune, hits the spot in our opinion and creates a nice contrast with the black accents such as the carbon fiber front grille, side air vents, front and rear bumper trims and the quad exhaust tailpipes.

Range Rover Evoque Falls Into the Hands of Hamann Motorsport


The fourth model that Hamann Motorsport will display on its stand at the 82nd Geneva Motor Show won’t sport the extraordinary performance figures of the Hawk, the M5 or the Guardian Evo, but it’s quite special nonetheless.

The Laupheim, Germany-based tuning firm has laid its hands on the Range Rover Evoque with the intention of making the admittedly already stylish compact crossover model even more eye-catching.
