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…

Range Rover Evoque Convertible Breaks Cover Prior to its Geneva Salon Debut


It was rumored for a long time that Land Rover was mulling the development of an open-top version of its Range Rover Evoque crossover and now, the British automaker has lifted the wraps off a concept version ahead of its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

As it seems, Land Rover wants to measure reactions at a couple of international events that will very likely include the New York Auto Show in April before it gives the green light for the production model, which could follow as early as next year.

New BMW X3 Tops while Range Rover Evoque Flops Consumer Reports' Tests

Project Kahn Touches Up Another Range Rover Evoque


The new Range Rover Evoque is one of those vehicles that doesn't really need a lot of styling mods to look the part, which is probably why British design house Project Kahn has kept the upgrades to a minimum.
