After a series of high-speed tests at the Nurburgring, the next-generation Land Rover Range Rover has been spied on public roads around the famous cruising track at lower speeds. While the prototype is still heavily camouflaged, this new spy video gives us the opportunity to take a closer look at some of its details.
Take, for example, the footage around the 2:45 minute mark where we can see the rear suspension. There’s nothing revolutionary there, but the quad exhaust arrangement above caught our eye, hinting at potential V8 power under the hood.

The latest gossip about the new Range Rover is that it will switch from JLR’s old 5.0-liter supercharged V8 to BMW’s 4.4-liter biturbo V8. We don’t know all the details, but we expect the power output to be around 500 hp.
The new BMW engine will be complemented by a completely new, aluminum-rich platform, which will be used by both Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. Thanks to the new foundations, electrified and fully electric powertrains will be available, as well as many other technology upgrades in the autonomous department.
In terms of dimensions, don’t expect the new RR to be bigger than before. This disguised test car hints at an evolutionary shape and exterior design. The interior, in turn, could see a major departure from the current design with even more tech features and plenty of autonomous systems on board.
We are still at least 12 months away from the official debut of the new Range Rover. It should go on sale in 2022, but the exact deadline is not yet known.
