Range Rover SDV8 Lumma CLR-R 2014

Continuing the series of prepared Range Rovers, we have a brand I had never come across before: Lumma. The Lumma company is a German company created in 1987 by Horst Lumma. Their British headquarters are in Essex. 

Like with most of the other tunners, this Range Rover has mainly undergone cosmetic changes, bumpers, wheels arch, alloys... It is based on a 2014 Range Rover Vogue SDV8 with a 4.4 V8 engine which produces 334bhp. 0-62mph takes 6.5 seconds and the top speed is 135mph or 217km/h.

Range Rover Kahn 600LE 2014

Second post in a row with a tuned up Range Rover, this time this is the Kahn take on the proper Range Rover with this "600 Luxury Edition". The Evoque Kahn I posted a few months ago seemed to have been enjoyed by many so I thought I would post this one today. I took the pictures during James Martin's Supercar Sunday last year in Manchester. Kahn were present with a modified Defender and this particular model. The 600LE is based on the 258bhp 3.0 TDV6 Vogue Range Rover. As with the previous tuned Range Rover, the modifications a purely cosmetic but I feel this one is particularly successful despite my dislike for SUVs. The colour, the body work and the interior work a treat together!

I must also say the staff present on that day were incredibly pleasant and helpful!

Range Rover Sport Revere 2014

Another Range Rover today, and another one prepared by a luxury tuning company. This time, the tuner is a London-based company called Revere. They do not focus exclusively on Range Rover preparation but on a wide range of luxury brands (I have only come across Range Rovers though!)

Once again, the tuning is mainly cosmetic with a change of bumpers, side skirts, wheels... This particular conversion is based on a 2014 Range Rover Sport 5.0 V8 petrol. It has 503bhp, reaches 62mph from 0 in just 5 seconds and has a top speed of 155mph (250km/h) -limited as usual.

Range Rover Sport Onyx

Spotted at the Trafford Centre, a new badge for the blog with a new preparation for Range Rover Sport today: Onyx. Not as common as Overfinch or Kahn, Onyx specialises in body kits, mainly for Range Rovers, Porsches and Bentleys. So under the (light) kit, we still have the Standard Range Rover.

Good for Cheshire people who want their Range Rover to look different from their neighbours'!

Range Rover Sport V8 Cosworth 2005

 

After showing you Overfinch, after Kahn, it is the turn to show you Cosworth's take on the ever so popular Range Rover Sport. Striking paint job in black and white and as usual, mainly cosmetic changes, not much done to the 4.2l, 385bhp, V8 engine. This isn't really to my taste but again, there are so many 'standard' Range Rovers around that people are prepared to add a few extra thousands of pounds to get theirs noticed...

Range Rover Evoque Kahn

 

After the Q5 prepared by ABT from yesterday, the Range Rover Evoque prepared by Kahn tonight. Like with the Q5, we have a "regular" base, an Evoque 2.2 SD4 with 190bhp, to which Kahn has added a body kit (new bumpers, wheels, spoiler and exhaust) turning it into Kahn Range Rover Evoque RS250. From the information I have managed to gather, the modifications are purely cosmetic, not mechanical.

Range Rover Overfinch 2013

 

Spotted at the top of a Manchester multi-storey car park, a brand new Range Rover prepared by Overfinch. This one is the 4.4l V8 Autobiography with 339bhp (0-62 in 6.5 seconds and 135mph or 217km/h top speed) Once again, the Range Rover had a full cosmetic make over by the 'tuning' company Overfinch.

I still do think that unless you are a premiership football player (or a WAG obviously) you shouldn't be driving one!!!

Range Rover Overfinch

After the +Range Rover Sport from two weeks ago, I am now adding the "real" Range Rover spotted in Manchester this morning! And even better, this one has been prepared by the Leeds-based company +Overfinch. Overfinch specialise in the modification of Range Rovers, Range Rover Sports and even the new Evoque. (a picture of which should appear in a next post) These Overfinch Range Rovers have become very fashionable amongst celebrities, football players in particular.

The key modifications are generally stylistic with specific aerodynamic kits and wheels, and sometimes mechanical. Looking at the Brembo brakes (yellow callipers) and the specific Overfinch sports exhausts, I reckon that this particular model has had the mechanical upgrade too.

This Overfinch was born as a Range Rover Vogue with a 4.2l supercharged V8 engine. The 390bhp SUV would have taken 7.5 seconds to reach 62mph and would have had a top speed of 130mph (209km/h). With the engine upgrade (only available on the 4.2 supercharged version), the power is increased by 50bhp to reach 440bhp, the ECU is re-programmed and both the supercharger and the induction system are uprated. Finally, the electronic speed limit is lifted. As far as performance is concerned, I haven't been able to find what the upgrade brings to the table, but I would think both 0-62 and top speed are slightly improved.

A real celebrity Dream Car!!!

If you know the exact performance figures for this car, feel free to post them in the comment box!

Range Rover Sport Autobiography SDV6

 

Like I mentioned in my previous post (about the Porsche Cayenne), some cars are to me typical Cheshire Dream Car, and the +Range Rover Sport is one of these. I shot this one in Knutsford, but to be honest, I could have done it pretty much anywhere around here. These car are on absolutely every single road around. Driving through Deansgate in Manchester this morning, I saw three brand new ones parked one after the other...

Anyway, once again, it is far from being on my Dream Car list, but for many people, it will occupy one of the top spots of theirs!

This one is a diesel version of the beast, a 3.0l, 255bhp V6 diesel to be more precise. 0-62 in 9.3 seconds and 124mph (200km/h) as a top speed. Not the performance of a Cayenne Turbo or even of the Range Rover Sport 5.0 V8, but some people just love the car! (I don't!!!)
