Meet the Range Rover Evoque Special Edition
Quote:This is the brand new Range Rover Evoque Limited Edition. And as you can see, it's quite yellow. And Black.http://www.topgear.com/uk/photos/range-r...2013-01-10
Land Rover is rather pleased at how well its little baby has wormed its way into the affections of you lot over the past year; more than 100,000 models have found homes. Not at all coincidentally, we made it our Car of the Year for 2011, so erm, you're welcome, world.
Anyway, this new Limited Edition is a paint-and-trim special, offering up the ‘Sicilian Yellow' paint and black roof as seen above, or vice versa (black body, yellow roof). Think of it as a bumblebee; a bumblebee that gets contrast yellow stitching and an anodised yellow horizontal finisher for the inside too.
This new trim special also debuts the ‘Black Design Pack' available independently from this bumblebee Edition from April. In it, you will find a rear sports spoiler, darkened front head and fog lights, black Range Rover lettering, 20in black forged alloy wheels, painted black bumper sections and dark exhaust finishers. Shady.
It'll be offered on the Evoque ‘Dynamic' derivative, with prices starting from around £44,000. Land Rover says it's all about more styling choice for your Range Rover Evoque. "Such a striking colour combination attributes itself to the already unique styling of the Evoque," notes LR Global Director John Edwards.

Darkened headlights and fog lights and Black lettering along with a Black Pack and New spoiler... Think they are copying you Cutter

interesting but a shame that what LR think we need another very niche colour considering how few Colima's we see on the road...

Disappointing (the colour that is........)
I have been waiting for news on any sport/special editions and so to find it's only available in one colour is rubbish. Yellow is not my thing, other than that I love the look of the car. Had it been offered in a colour I like I would definitely be taking a closer look....

Agree the colour is rubbish, but like the 'Black design pack' - I think OG Dynamic with Black Design Pack could just be the thing for a next evoque.

Another way to milk more money for the brand. I thought "special" editions were only for cars failing to move off the dealers' showroom floor not cars they cannot make enough of. Will have to check there isn't a Peugeot to Citroen badge somewhere on it.....
Colours like that also don't do residuals any good as they only appeal to a very small number of people. Anyway what has happened to the much hyped Beckham Edition? Have any ever been sold?
The "Special" rear spoiler doesn't look any different to the one that was standard on the early cars as well.

Yep there's not one but two Beckham's on ebay - one at £90k and the other at £100k!!!!
Neither ad contains a photo of an actual car and one of them states there are only 8 in the UK. ONe of the members on here saw VB cars being built on a factory tour not too long ago.
