Range Rover RS models in the works

Modifications to the suspension are expected to be confined mainly to software changes for the active anti-roll bars and air springs. Bigger wheels than the 21-inch units already fitted to the Sport are unlikely, but a more powerful braking system seems certain.

The Range Rover Sport RS is tipped to be launched next year, sometime after the Evoque RS is revealed. The Evoque RS will be powered by a 300bhp version of the Evoque’s current 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine.

The exterior styling is unlikely to be changed extensively for the Evoque RS, according to hints from design Chief Gerry McGovern. Larger wheels and extravagant arch and sill extensions will be ruled out in favour of subtler ways of making the RS model stand out from the rest of the range.
