Land Rover only recently unveiled the official details on the new-generation Range Rover, but that doesn’t mean their work with the Range Rover is done. As these spy shots reveal, the company is also working on a LWB (long wheel-base) version of the luxury SUV that will be unveiled sometime in 2013.
The Range Rover LWB was specially developed for markets like Russia and China where they associate extra leg room with extreme luxury. For this reason, the upcoming Range Rover LWB will offer more space in the backseat - a perfect addition for those looking for extra space for the kids or for those who just like to relax in the backseat while the driver takes them to the opera.
As for the engine lineup, we expect to see the same choices as in the standard model: a choice of two diesel engines and one gasoline engine. The diesel lineup will include a 3.0-liter TDV6 delivering 258 horsepower and 4.4-liter SDV8 with 339 horsepower. The gas engine will be a supercharged LR-V8 with 510 horsepower.
The LWB model does differentiate itself from the base model from the side view, as you can easily notice that the rear doors are significantly longer and the wheelbase is extended about 150 mm (5.90 inches) to allow more space for the backseat riders.
At the rear it will once again be similar to the standard version and will get the new taillights unveiled in the fourth-generation Range Rover and a powerful bumper.
