Looks like a pumped up Evoque  FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

Thought you were not allowed to tow a 4wd. MY11 Autobiography supercharged. Santorini Black. Monaco interior. Rear screens. Privacy.
Gone MY08 Supercharged HST. Java black. Ivory premium interior. Rear screens. Privacy. Missed a lot.
Gone MY04 Discovery V8 Petrol ES Premium. Awesome.

Maybe they are trying to keep the cost down and it's a 2wd version  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Afaik, yo can't tow with the front wheels off the ground like the aa recovery trucks, as the front wheels will want to turn as well.

Gone: a comprehensive list of imprezas and a Merc ML AMG

I guess it must be the camo but it looks very small compared to the Disco  12MY RRS Orkney Grey HSE Lux
12MY FF Santorini Black VSE

It looks too much like the horrible and cheap looking evoque. I know its hard to tell in the camoflage but its not for me!

You can tow a 4x4 slowly and over short distance if auto as the oil pump is driven by input shaft. . You can't as pointed out use a wheel free method unless you want a pile of swarf in the bottom of your transfer box that used to be your gears. As far as the new car goes, it doesn't look right but then it is a shrunk down version of the new Full Fat. The Evoque is a Freelander not Range Rover! Should be banned under trade discriptions!!!!  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Let's not forget that the RRS is not a Range Rover - it's a Land Rover with borrowed badges. Let's not get too snooty here guys...

And the Freelander is a Mondeo.

Ok, it's very loosely based on the same platform as the Mondeo, S-Max/Galaxy and Volvo S80 but it's got the DNA in there.

It's funny how stuff goes around. The first Disco was based on the then-current RR (the running gear and chassis are the same - the rear bumper of the D1 is the rear cross member of the RR effectively). The second Disco got some of it's own underpinnings (some even had no centre diff lock, bizarrely). The RRS is a D3 in a fashion outfit. The new RRS will be FFRR-based. Presumably the D5 (if it happens) will also be FFRR-based too.

What a merry dance!  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

If i remember rightly, didn't the first Disco also have some parts thrown at it from the Austin meastro van Rear lights was one of the items.

Certainly the indicator/wiper switches. Funny was in a mk1 disco the other day and switches/dash scream Montego/Meastro  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
