Range Rover has revealed a prototype version of its new Range Rover GT. Joining the existing Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar and Range Rover Evoque, the all-new model will be built at the British marque’s Halewood production facility and use its latest electric modular architecture (EMA). The platform brings all-wheel drive, a large battery for an extended driving range and a flat floor that allows for a more spacious interior. Available exclusively as a battery electric vehicle (BEV) from launch, Range Rover said it also plans to introduce a hybrid version later in the model’s life cycle.The Range Rover GT sports a sleek, coupé-inspired silhouette. Picture: (JLR) Exterior styling is one of the Range Rover GT’s defining features, with a coupé-inspired silhouette incorporating a narrow glasshouse, a steeply raked roofline and relatively short overhangs. A sizeable set of gloss-black alloy wheels completes its authoritative stance.Inside, the cabin adopts a minimalist approach, with physical buttons largely replaced by software controls. A large centrally mounted touchscreen infotainment system is paired with a rectangular digital instrument display ahead of a small-diameter multifunction steering wheel. A concealed air vent spans the width of the cabin, while the dashboard is finished in what Range Rover describes as a single woven textile.“The Range Rover GT will redefine the grand-touring segment with the ability to deliver beautiful and engaging GT poise, proportions and long-distance refinement while offering capabilities no conventional GT can match,” said Range Rover MD Martin Limpert.The minimalist cabin eschews physical switchgear. Picture: (JLR) “We have spent the past few years working obsessively on the fundamentals of the GT formula, reinterpreted in a sophisticated, uniquely Range Rover way. The result is the most car-like, yet unmistakably capable Range Rover ever created, now possible on our electrified EMA architecture and complementing our existing powertrain portfolio to deliver a complete set of options for every customer need. “Its blend of effortless EV performance, first-class long-haul refinement and all-terrain capability is pure Range Rover, while its calming interior previews our vision of a modern grand tourer.”Prototype vehicles are undergoing final on-road testing in a bespoke camouflage wrap designed by the carmaker’s in-house creative team. More details on the Range Rover GT are expected later this year, so watch this space. TimesLIVE
