Range Coupe!

16 09 2007

The Range Stormer was a three-door “crossover” coupe-SUV, with Mercedes SLR-style gullwing doors. It was thought to be too radical a stretch for the brand, but with the U.S. appetite for super-SUVs growing in the wake of the successful Porsche Cayenne, Land Rover is working on a production version of the Range Stormer.

It will share its running gear with the new Range Rover Sport off-roader, and although it will have radical styling, the gullwing doors will probably not make it on to the final version. U.K. magazine Autocar reckons the Range Rover coupe will be launched around 2009. 

The Range Stormer concept had a supercharged V8 engine, and on-road performance rather than off-road ability is likely to be stressed in the production car.

 Land Rover’s Range Stormer concept, one of the stars of the 2004 Detroit Auto Show, could become a production reality, according to U.K. sources. (heyyyaaaaaaa)
