Startech presented a new tuned-up version of Range Rover Evoque at the ongoing Essen Motor Show. Following a first rendition introduced at the Dubai Motor Show, the German tuner showed up at the Essen event with a new package for the 3 door configuration of the English SUV model. The tuning comprises a new front apron with bigger air intakes, a re-designed rear bumper with integrated diffuser hosting two pairs of mufflers as well as a small roof wing and other little details made of carbon fibre, while ride height has been lowered by 30 mm.

The car visual approach uses a mainly black two-tone color scheme featuring a red roof and four 22″ black/red alloys with other smaller red inserts around the car. In the passenger compartment the red/black theme continues with the leather upholstered seats and side panels as well as the dashboard. The model also uses a sports steering wheel, aluminum pedals and shift knob and Alcatara finishing for the ceiling. Startech is planning a performance kit for the turbocharged 2.0-litre engine of the model, confirming that similar packages for Evoque’s diesel variations are also in the works.

Startech launched its own tuning of Range Rover Evoque during the Dubai International Motor Show, releasing also a bunch of official pictures. The British SUV gets an aggressive body kit that highlith even further its already sporty styling. Besides, Startech gave the car a new suspension system which lowers its ride height by 35 mm. A new exhaust system as well as 21″ alloys (although 20″ and 22″ are also available) complete the exterior changes.

In the cabin, alcantara and black leather are Startech’s suggested choices, but more options for customization are also available. Needless to say, we are talking about top notch finishing anyway. Startech is also working on a performance package for the 2.0 petrol engine. However, no performance figures about the model are available at the moment.

Land Rover could soon start the production of a 300hp version of Range Rover Evoque, powered by a Ford-derived 2.0-litres 4cylinder turbocharged engine. Even though the production of this spicy model is yet to receive the go-ahead from Land Rover’s top management, rumor has it that Evoque’s program director David Mitchell has already driven a prototype, saying that “the chassis can easily take that kind of power“.

One issue that the British carmaker might have to face if the project will get the thumbs up is to find a name for this hot version of the Evoque as neither Jaguar nor Land Rover have a sub-brand for their most extreme models (’Supercharged’ badge aside). However, we think they will surely find a way around it.
