20120423-084753.jpg

Since its debut in 2011, the Range Rover Evoque has been one of the British carmakers most popular models. Thanks to the ability to customize any of its three trims — Pure, Prestige and Dynamic — this has opened the doors to Range Rover with 70% of Evoque owners being new to the brand. To further push the brand and Evoque, they have enlisted Victoria Beckham to help design this brand new special edition which makes its debut in Beijing, China. Despite your first inclinations that this will be a female-orientated outcome, careful consideration was taken into the overall design to create something equally fitting for Victoria’s husband David Beckham.

Some of the finer details of the Victoria Beckham x Range Rover Evoque Special Edition include the first ever matte hand-painted finish, 20″ wheels with rose gold accents, a hand-stitched tan semi-aniline leather interiors, a bespoke four-piece luggage set, an 825 watt 17 speaker Meridian sound system and a limited edition of 200 models. From a performance stand-point, the car boasts a turbo-charged 2.0 liter engine outputting 237 hp and 251 lbs-ft of torque.
