New RRS

Hi everyone was travelling up North yesterday to visit some of the wife's family for the long weekend and whilst travelling up the A34 towards the M40 caught something in my rear view mirror that looked really impressive fast approaching me. As it went flying past noticed it was a new RRS but what stood out was the front/back number plates had what I can only describe as a white sheet or something covering them up. The thing was once I got onto the M40 noticed 3 more all different colours but all had their number plates covered with this white sheet of something. To be honest with you not quite sure if I liked what I saw as it just seems like a bigger Evoque to me, slanting rear roof included and the front doesn't look anything different than the new FFRR. Maybe I might change my mind when I see one in my local showroom but from what I've seen yesterday won't be rushing out to buy one (he says now lol)

I know what you mean - the silver one that I saw about 2 weeks ago made me look twice thinking it was a FFRR but the side vents and bumpers confirmed it was a new RRS. It had a regular VX** *** number plate.

I've just been driving down the M40 towards Oxford and I was behind the same RRS the back and front bumpers are covered in large white card with a blue cross on each piece and its driving on trade plates.

I've tried to take a photo from behind and I do agree it looks very FFRR.. nothing special for a Sport model?

They are getting them ready for the big launch event at Windsor. I saw 3 around Gaydon last week on the M40 but they were still in the White,black and grey WW1 Maritime Camoflage covers
