Auto Express is reporting that a faster and sportier version of the Range Rover Evoque is currently in the works. Auto Express recently uncovered the plans in an interview with design director Gerry McGovern at last month’s Beijing Motor Show.

“You can go too far with the Evoque, but what’s so right about the car is it has what I call killer proportions,” McGovern said. “For the moment, we’re looking at the cabriolet and special editions – we could do a more overtly sporty one, for example.”
McGovern did not provide any other details about the sportier Range Rover Evoque, but Auto Express believes that it will be powered by a more powerful version of the current 240-hp 2.0L four-cylinder. The Range Rover Evoque Sport will also receive other additions like larger wheels, a body kit and sportier suspension.
When will it be released? Since the Evoque is still new, don’t expect to see it until late next year, at the earliest.
