Range Rover Evoque RS

Seems to be strong rumours about an RS Evoque with the Si4 engine pushing out 300hp or 224kw!
Will be here by the end of the year too.
Hope it's true... Anyone else heard similar?
See article.

I've actually heard the opposite, in that there may be a smaller engined Evoque option! So maybe they are increasing the range of engine options for the Evoque in both directions!

Looks like another article speculating the same thing.

9 speed and 224kw. Will it be able to to take on the Macan?
I was thinking about it but will stay if this is true.

Liking the wheels on that Evoque... and I don't normally go for dark wheels...

Exactly that... and the press photo's at that.

Bit misleading including them in an article about the ERS

Interesting they jumped to the RS range and skipped the R. Considering all the RS jags are very expensive, I wonder if this will be a limited run? I'm excited to get more details.

You can buy replicas of those very wheels on EBay at the moment. Have to agree, the VB Edition wheels are probably my favourite of all the Evoque alloys and I have NEVER liked black alloys on any car, ..until now. xx
