Range Rover’s small best-seller has got a cool brother – the Evoque Convertible, the world’s first open SUV. A courageous step of the British brand and a new challenge for car refiner Hamann in Swabian Laupheim. After its success with the coupé, Hamann can now also offer an extensive refinement package for the convertible: strong attachment parts, exclusive wheels, fine accessories, and the well-proven power advancements for the diesel engines and the top petrol version.
Hamann’s new front skirt, which presents itself much more powerful and accentuated than the standard version, gives the Evoque Convertible a particularly strong and self-confident appearance. The two-part grille, sophisticated air intakes on the left and right, and individually adjusted fibre-optic daytime running lights catch the eye. A completely new rear skirt that integrates the black or silver anodised Hamann tailpieces of the sports exhaust system ensures that the Evoque Convertible has a befitting appearance. Evoque fans who are enthusiastic about a more extreme look will enjoy the wide-body kit characteristic of Hamann Motorsport that will be available from autumn. The Swabian refiner accurately forms it to the standard body – with wide wing extensions and new side skirts that give the convertible a very special “spirit”.
It goes without saying that there needs to be more power behind such a strong look. By optimising the ignition map, Hamann advances the power of the ED4 diesel from 150 hp (110 kW) to 181 hp (135 kW) at 460 Nm instead of 380 Nm. Those who opt for the potent Si4 petrol engine may enjoy a power advancement of 20 hp to 260 hp (177 kW to 191 kW) at a torque of 480 Nm instead of 420 Nm.
Exclusive wheels and accessories
When going for unique and exclusive wheels the Evoque immediately becomes an eye-catcher on the road. Here, for many years, Hamann has been offering a programme, which is second to none. For example, with the monoblock wheel “Anniversary Evo”, an elegant multi-spoke wheel offered in 22 inches. Matching the car’s finish, the wheel is available in silver or in a particularly trendy matt black.
The cherry on the cake is Hamann’s offering of precious accessories for the interior: pedals in silver or black anodised aluminium, customised floor mats with embroidered Hamann logo and car door LED welcome projector lights that make the access to the car both safer and unique. These and many more refinement options Hamann offers individually or in a package. The always carefully concerted modules guarantee a coherent overall concept. Hamann realises the exclusive individualisations at its headquarters in Laupheim or at international partner sites.
