He's probably the craziest thing in the Land Rover repertoire right now - that Range Rover Evoque Convertible, No matter if you can not stand the beefy look or not, it is definitely an eye-catcher with outstanding ride comfort. The Evoque Convertible is still the world's only convertible in the compact SUV class. But considering that Mercedes has already opened its G-Class and even the Defender was offered at the beginning of its production decades ago as a Defender convertible so you realize that the idea is not entirely new. The dimensions are already very stately with 4,97 m length and 2,09 m width in this class but who wants to can drive the whole thing with a beefy Hamann body kit on the top.
This is exactly what the guys from cartech.ch from Switzerland have done by giving an Evoque convertible all the components of the German tuner. The extremely eye-catching set consists of a striking front apron including 2 LED daytime running lights, massive fender flares for the front and rear axles (12 pieces), matching side skirts and a newly designed rear apron with a centrally placed Hamann sports exhaust system. The body kit is rounded off with a discreet spoiler lip on the tailgate and air inlets on the right and left in the bonnet. The overall impression with the new components is, in our opinion, phenomenal because everything looks like it comes straight from the factory. Nothing looks attached or optically unsuitable because Hamann made sure not to change the basic shape of the Evoque when developing the body kit.
Of course, the vehicle was not allowed to leave the yard on the standard alloy wheels, but a new set of wheels must come from. Here one decided for Premier Edition CS-5 rims in the 10 × 22 format all around thanks to lowering by means of H&R sport springs sit perfectly in the wheel arch and are fitted with Michelin Supersport tires in the format 295/30-22. The entire project is absolutely phenomenal and the understated paintwork of the Evoque is what makes the whole thing so impressive. If we receive more information about the modifications, there will of course be an update for this report, as always.
