Video και φωτογραφίες από τα τελικά στάδια των δοκιμών εξέλιξης του Range Rover Evoque δόθηκαν στην δημοσιότητα από την Land Rover. Τα 10 πρωτότυπα είναι βαμμένα σε έντονα χρώματα, και στην ουσία απεικονίζουν τον χάρτη της πόλης που χαιρετά το κάθε ένα. Πάνω από 17.000 δοκιμές έγιναν και θα συνεχίσουν να γίνονται σε διάφορες κλιματολογικές συνθήκες προτού το αυτοκίνητο είναι έτοιμο να βγει στην παραγωγή το επόμενο καλοκαίρι.

Επίσημο ντεμπούτο του θα γίνει τον Οκτώβριο στο Παρίσι ενώ πρωτοπαρουσιάστηκε στο κοινό πριν από μερικές εβδομάδες σε μια ειδική εκδήλωση στο Λονδίνο.

ALL-NEW RANGE ROVER EVOQUE PROTOTYPES GO UNDERCOVER
All-new RangeRover Evoque enters final-phase testing
Global test programme will cover millions of miles in extreme endurance conditions
It’s no secret: funky ‘camouflage’ wraps designed to introduce the new Range Rover Evoque to the world
Over 17,000 individual tests to be completed on all components and systems
Gaydon, Warwickshire, 14 July 2010 -The all-new Range Rover Evoque has entered its final phase of testing, with hundreds of prototype models dispatched around the globe for trial in the toughest climates and conditions.
Land Rover is making no secret of the operation – its design team has fitted ten prototypes with funky camouflage wraps, to introduce the new car in ten key cities worldwide.
Ordinarily prototypes are disguised for discretion, but these ten are intended to be seen. The funky camouflage imagery is actually a GPS mapping trail of ten key cities for Evoque, with each vehicle saying ‘Hello’ to its city. It signals the eagerly awaited global launch of the new Evoque.
These unmissable vehicles represent London, New York, Sao Paulo, Paris, Milan, Madrid, Berlin, Sydney, Shanghai and Moscow and will all be spotted testing around the globe. They are just a small proportion of the hundreds of pre-production cars that will be rigorously evaluated over millions of miles to ensure the new Range Rover Evoque surpasses the highest standards of quality and reliability when it goes on sale in summer 2011.
Teams of engineers will travel to 20 countries to pit the Range Rover Evoque against the most extreme conditions on earth, ranging from the Arctic to the desert, from German Autobahns to Tokyo city traffic. Alongside the engineers, Land Rover is working with 120 unique component suppliers and carrying out in excess of 17,000 individual tests to examine every separate part and system.
Like all Range Rovers, the new Evoque will have been proven against all the elements when it goes on sale next summer.
“The development stage is crucial in the year leading up to launching the car,” said Murray Dietsch, director of Land Rover programmes. “No stone is left unturned; we have a team of experienced and skilled engineers who will work to a tight schedule to ensure we have a top quality vehicle to offer our customers.”
The new Range Rover Evoque is the smallest, lightest and most fuel-efficient model the company has ever offered, and will be sold in 160 markets around the world.
