There is one today Restomod conversion of the highest goodness to see. Curtain up on the new one Range Rover Extreme from the tuner Chieftain (part of Jenson International Automotive). And at Chieftain Extreme (Xtreme) is a two-door Range Rover the first generation (Classic). Such a conversion can now be ordered via the tuner's website. Of the Range becomes extreme full revised and has little to do with the first generation Range Rover, which was built from 1970 to 1996. For example, there is a seat under the historic body tailor-made chassis, which Chieftain developed especially for the legendary off-roader. It has a Independent suspension for this and with regard to the braking system, a sports system from the house is used AP Racing with mighty saddles and king-size brake discs all around.
Range Rover Extreme with 700 PS LS3 V8!
And of course such a huge braking system also has a reason. And that's under the hood. There are none of the 3,5 to 4,2-liter V8s from back then and also the tired 2,4-liter diesel (or 135 PS / 3,5-liter V8 with 4-speed car box) is not installed. Instead, the tuner relies on a current one 6,2 liter LS3 V8 supercharged engine off the GM shelf. The as Crate engine Delivered V8 performs due to some modifications about 700 PS and thus almost four times as much as the top model at the time. There is one on the V8 Eight-speed automatic coupled, which of course continues to transmit the power to all four wheels.
Equipped in this way, performance on par with a sports car is guaranteed. Although Chieftain has no acceleration data or information about the possible maximum speed for the Extreme published, but the uncharged V8 conversions of the tuner accelerate in 5,2 seconds at 96 km / h and achieve approx. 210 km / h top speed. The variant with a compressor should therefore be another significant shovel put on top.
Widebody style and motorsport rims
In contrast to the extensive changes to the technology, they are visually restrained. But that does not mean that "few“Modifications were made. Quite the opposite, here too done a lot. front panel for example contains one matt black grille and integrated into it are still round headlights. Indeed these come from the present and shine, especially in combination with the large one LED litghtbar on the front apron, the road looks much better. And the Front apron has also been changed and is clearly sportier.
In addition, there were powerful blacks all around extensions for the fenders. Of course, that couldn't be missing "Chieftain" badge on the hood and on the stern and also a powerful one Motorsport wheelset with six-spoke optics velvet BFGoodrich all-terrain tires is built in. By the way, our personal highlight are the tailpipes integrated into the sill strip Sidepipe sport exhaust system.
There are also changes at the rear and in the interior
And there were also changes to the rear panel. In the style of the front apron, it is also provided with a sporty design. We are currently not yet aware of any changes to the interior. But here too there should be a lot Modern technology Keep moving in and also a new one Leather seats as well as further individual details according to customer requirements. Also have been so far no prices published for the special restomod by Chieftain. The company's "normal" Range Rover Restomods are already included over $ 200.000.
