According to autocar, the company is already testing a prototype, but the production version hasn’t been approved yet. It seems that the chassis is good enough to cope with the extra power. The base engine we are talking about is the 2.0-liter Si4, which delivers 240 hp in its current form.

Land Rover will also have to find a name for the hot Evoque (we must thank Joel Desing for the rendering), as it doesn’t have a high-performance badge right now. For that, the company will consider both a new sub-brand, which would give cutomers a different perspective on the camaker's products, or a go-fast moniker.
