Spyshots: Range Rover Long Wheelbase

Bentley is making an SUV with lots of room in the back. Lamborghini, meanwhile, is also making an SUV that’s supposed to be light thanks to a lot of carbon fiber. All those engineers are probably looking at the Range Rover sport and the Porsche Cayenne for inspiration, searching for ways to convince Arabs that they have something different.

But Land Rover is one step ahead of them, as the new Range Rover SUV is about to be revealed, and should be lighter and bigger inside. And if the normal version isn’t enough, you will definitely be able to stretch your legs in the back of the extended wheelbase version. This is the very first time that the extra inches have been spotted, and we have to say it’s pretty royal-looking. All the crown princes will want one of these.

The engine range should include the new 3.0-liter supercharged V6 that replaces the normally aspirated V8, as well as the full-bore supercharged 5.0-liter.
