Tore Kjernmoen Skrevet 8. juli 2011 Del Skrevet 8. juli 2011 MotorAuthority.com Expected to go on sale in the fall of 2012 as a 2013 model, the new Range Rover is expected to feature a lightweight rivet-bonded aluminum chassis based on a modified version of the platform underpinning the Jaguar XJ. By using the lightweight material, engineers could shed up to 40 percent from the current model’s unpainted body shell, equating to a saving of roughly 660 to 880 pounds. Advanced composites are also expected to be used for certain elements, such as the body panels and rear tailgate. This would give the vehicle a final curb weight roughly equal to a fully-loaded luxury sedan, improving both performance and fuel economy--the latter of which is expected to be as high as 33.3 mpg for some models. This same platform will also spawn a new-generation Range Rover Sport, which is expected to replace the LR4 model in Land Rover’s lineup and be available with seven seats for the first time.
