LAND ROVER'S bold new LRX concept is inching closer to production, as this image from Automedia shows. A disguised LRX was caught undergoing testing at Germany's famous Nürburgring.
Wearing a Freelander 2 (LR2) body, the mule appears to have a shortened rear end and revised front fascia.
While details are limited, the LRX will likely be powered by a 2.2-litre four-cylinder turboiesel engine (with 160bhp and 400Nm of torque) as well as a 3.2-litre petrol inline six (with 230bhp and 317Nm of torque).
As previewed by the concept, a hybrid 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine may also be offered.
The LRX is set to receive the prestigous Range Rover Badge and is expected to be available in three-door and five-door variants. The production model will also be taller than the concept, to allow for added headroom.
The Range Rover LRX will be officially unveiled next year.
