Range Rover is planning to add another model into its family of beauties. This new model will be slotted in between the new Evoque and the Range Rover Sport. This model which will share components with forthcoming Land Rover models, will cost more than the £35k Evoque, but less than the £46k Sport. Encouraged by the reception to the Evoque, the bosses in the company believe that a new model is sure to be a success.

Land Rover’s latest vehicle— the 2010 Range Rover Sport, seems to be quite a treat with plenty of power coming from underneath its hood (not the diamonds). Powered by a 3.0-litre V6 twin turbo diesel produces 245PS and maximum torque of 600Nm and the 5.0-litre supercharged V8 petrol engine it will dish out 510PS and 625Nm of torque. This means that the 2010 Range Rover Sport could end up with a performance that matches the likes of Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG, but the final figures on that one are yet to be announced.

There are loads of other changes on the inside and the outside as well with new front bumper with redesigned wings, LED headlights, two-stripe LED indicators, color-coded door mirrors, a new two-bar grille and new rear light clusters giving it a brand new exterior. With plush leather interiors, fewer switches to deal with, new radio/CDMP3 player with a 5-inch screen, USB connectivity and an exclusive iPod jack even the interiors get a step up. Let’s just wait for the final figures though before we get all excited on this one!

It seems that not everyone is feeling the pinch of recession after all. New York based jewelry designers Tiret along with LSE have created a new two door coupe that is based on the Range Rover Sport. The latest set of wheels is more about style, bling and status than actually anything else under its hood. Of course, that is no surprise when the designing of a car includes a jewelry firm. And Tiret lives up to that expectation with diamonds studded lavishly into instrument cluster dials, a luxurious built-in Tiret clock, Nappa leather seats, custom twin chrome tailpipes, exclusive woodwork and a stunning glass roof. Unveiled at Baselworld 2009 in Switzerland, expect this to most likely end up on the streets of Manhattan!

The Range Rover Sport is surely a smart looker that captures attention with ease. Obviously knowing this, the folks from Concept802 has released a Platinum R wide body kit for the Sport model that seems to enhance the company’s cool bravado. Complete with new front and rear bumpers, side skirts, a new front grille, and a carbon fiber rear diffuser housing those Concept802-designed exhaust tips, the entire kit surely revs up the style quotient a couple of notches. You also get the luxury of choosing from the custom 3-piece forged alloy V2 wheels in a multi-spoked and “deep dish” design, which ranges from 19 to 24 inches in size. Already represents class, style and luxury, the Concept802 kit adds further flamboyance for you to drool on.

A styling company based in the UK, Concept802 are the creative folks that came out with that amazing Range Rover Sport Platinum R Wide Body Kit. Specialized in pimping luxurious vehicles, the Brits have the experience and the amazing touch needed to make the already wicked Range Rover Sport even more beefier. So what’s on plate? A wide arch kit, a front grille, side skirts and vents, front and rear bumpers, unique exhaust tips and a carbon fiber rear diffuser. Count a set of 24-inch wheels and that’s a monster we’d much like to stress test. Wouldn’t you? [via WCF]
