Range Rover LRX Mule on the Ring

Last month, the LRX mule was caught on the Nurburgring and you can see they are hiding something in with that different rear of the vehicle.

I’m hoping they keep a lot of the specifics they showed on the picture dated September 24th, with the Range Rover branding.  And I wonder how much will makes it way up the ladder for future updates across the line.

It has the clamshell hood and the floating roof, but look at the door handle used, that looks like something from the new Jaguar’s and not in the current LR models.  The headlamps also have a different design from the current models, obviously a lot more sweeping, but will they be as recognizable as the current ones – you can usually see a Land Rover coming in the dark just from noticing the round headlight pattern, which is even more obvious with the LEDs in the 2010 refresh.  And the side vent has a more horizontal stretch(Also Jaguar XJ like).  All of these cues have me wondering if we’re looking at the first clues to what the next real Range Rover may look like.

Holland & Holland Range Rover by Overfinch

All the official shots from Overfinch of their new special edition are up on the ROVERHAUL galleries – some parts are great, but I’d prefer it to have some actual Range Rover badging and I’ll actually say it – less wood trim on the front center console – the rear center console it great!

On the exterior, the exhaust tips & trim have a great look, everything else seems like more subtle tweaks and again I wish they’d stick a “Range Rover” somewhere on there.

Production will be limited to 100 units annually with prices starting from around £120,000 – which includes the wood trim matching shotgun & they’ll replenish the alcohol for a year.

2010 Range Rover – Start/Stop While Moving

Not something you really want to be doing but it’s not as simple as just removing the key from the dash with the introduction of the Smart Key for 2010:

START/STOP WHILE MOVING
Switching off the engine

With the gear selector in position P, press the engine START/STOP button. The engine will
stop and the ignition system will return to convenience mode.
Caution: It is not advisable to switch off the engine while the vehicle is moving. However,
if a situation arises where engine switch off is urgent, the following procedure applies:

1. Press the START/STOP button for a total of two seconds, or

2. Press the START/STOP button twice within two seconds.
With either method the warning message ‘Engine Stop Button Pressed’ will be displayed

Rolling restart
A rolling restart can be initiated by selecting transmission neutral position N and pressing
the engine START/STOP button. Now select D.
