RE: Evoque RS spotted at Nurburgring

I'd be tempted by the Evoque RS, but in the certainty it would be notably more expensive and my insurance agent would start looking at me like I am crazy, I think I shall have to keep my eyes on the "normal" Evoque. *sigh* Smile

RE: Evoque RS spotted at Nurburgring

F type Jag can only just handle the power of the V6S/C I suppose there is a bit of logic in putting it in a smaller, heavier 4wd car! F types aren't exactly shifting off dealer's foprecourts so I suppose that JLR have to get rid of the stock of engines a.s.a.p. in Range Rover Sports and Evoques. Dread to think what the engine does for fleet/ corporate emissions though.

The Evoque RS is too bloody quiet, but that RRS-RS sounded awesome!!

Well it possibly had the dynamic accoustics switched on and the Evoque's was switched off.

RRS claimed to have the 550 PS 5-liter supercharged engine... sounds awesome!

RE: Evoque RS spotted at Nurburgring

Glad to see LR are making an RS version of the Evoque. I was planning to order an SD4 some time ago but held off when I heard of a 9 speed coming. Ordered a CLA 45 AMG in the mean time. So glad I put off the Evoque as I always felt it could do with more power. 225kw from a turbo 4 is pretty decent. I think with a tune and bolt-ons it'll be a quick daily driver and will surprise a lot of other sports cars.

RE: Evoque RS spotted at Nurburgring

Don't think we'll see anything for a while certainly not until the next model year.

Interested people in Australia are asking; my experience of driving there is that the speed limits are so low and so rigorously enforced that it's not worth having a hot car - an Si4 will land you in plenty of trouble, especially on those double demerit points weekends...

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR

In Aus we love our blown V8's, I'd love to be driving an Evoque with a Supercharged V6
