PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA: Range Rover has confirmed the forthcoming arrival of its second EV, Range Rover Sport Electric, which signals a new era of sporting luxury.
Following the much-anticipated Range Rover Electric, which has been previewed at a series of curated events over the British Summer Season, Range Rover Sport Electric will again redefine the luxury electric SUV segment when it arrives later this year. It features the same unmistakable, muscular form – now driven by a fully electric powertrain to deliver effortless, visceral performance.
Over the weekend, Range Rover Sport Electric was presented in a private preview event at Goodwood Festival of Speed, UK. In an homage to its legacy of pioneering performance, such as the 999-step ascent at Heaven’s Gate in China, to the climb of an Icelandic spillway, Range Rover Sport Electric tackled a series of driven challenges on the Goodwood Motor Circuit.
Range Rover Sport Electric integrates a suite of advanced technologies that unleash more power and torque, amplified by an advanced new chassis tune and audio sound, creating a drive that feels as distinctive as it is visceral, across any terrain.
Martin Limpert, Managing Director, Range Rover, said: “Electric power brings a new edge to Range Rover Sport. The preview at Goodwood Festival of Speed is only a glimpse of how this model will redefine performance SUVs again later this year, combining the refinement and immediate performance of electric drive while further elevating the unmistakable character of Range Rover Sport our clients already know and love.”
The addition of pure-electric propulsion later this year will complete the powertrain line-up for Range Rover Sport, with a plug-in electric hybrid, mild-hybrid V8 petrol and six-cylinder petrol and diesel offering a suitable option for every client. New Range Rover Sport Electric has been calibrated to deliver the same thrilling, engaging drive that defines the sportiest expression of the brand.
Further details of Range Rover Sport Electric will be announced later this year.
