Re: L405 from the Factory Floor via rangerovers.net

So I think this is another “unofficial leak”, showing just enough of a tease but not enough detail.  If you look quick enough, the Evoque-ish design tricks the eye, but the longer hood brings it back.

It’s looking more and more like the next Range Rover Sport is ready to be released.  In the first actual interior shots of the next Range Rover Sport, codenamed L494, we see a new gearshift lever.  As soon as I saw it, it reminded me of the F-Type spyshots that were going around.  And then they confirmed that in the article too.

So the Range Rover will stick with the rotary dial and the performance models will get the BMW-esque lever?  This is a fun one.

 

From the Jaguar F-Type

I wonder if the final model will include that roll cage…

From the same article showing the exposed front and rear lighting, we get a glimpse of the roof.  Not the clearest shots but there’s definitely something new going on there.

In these latest shots from Car Magazine, the camouflage has been removed from the front and rear lights.  We’re actually getting to see the Evoque effect.

I’m good with the front lights, the rears look a little chunky, almost reminds me of the tall rear light assembly on the LR4(Discovery 4).

Also, is it just me or does that rear light remind you of Flash’s mask or the Harry Potter Snitch?
