In a previous interview, Phil Popham the Managing Director of Land Rover said “We are keeping the Range Rover offering fresh with regular changes: some are major, like the TDV8 engine last year which, incidentally, will now be badge on the back of the vehicle while others are about the detail, such as those coming in 2008.” And one of those new models is a 2-door SUV.

The new 2-door Range Rover will be the first 2-door luxury SUV available on the US market.

The first 2-door (3, if we consider the "third door" being a horizontally split tailgate) range Rover was unveiled in 1970 when the company introduced the first generation Range Rover. It was powered by a 3.5 L aluminum Rover V8 engine.

After almost 40 years, Land Rover wants to turn back history with the introduction of a new 2-door model. It will be powered by a range of vehicles including the normally aspirated V8 and advanced turbodiesel V6 used in the 4-door version of the Range Rover Sport.

The top of the range will be powered by a 4.2-litre supercharged V8 engine with an output of 390 hp and a peak torque of 410 lbs-ft. Other options will be: a 300 hp 4.4-litre normally aspirated V8 and the advanced new 2.7-litre 190 bhp turbodiesel V6. The top model will make the 0 to 60 mph sprint in 7.5 seconds and will have a top speed of 150 mph.

The new 2-door model will feature the same Dynamic Response suspension system first used in the 4-door Range Rover Sport. This system will help the SUV to have an excellent on-road dynamics because it senses cornering forces and acts to optimize body control and handling. It also decouples off-road to allow greater wheel articulation during tough all-terrain driving.

The 2008 2-doors SUV features will be the same as for the 2008 4-door model: a of four-zone air conditioning complemented with ’climate control’ windscreen and side glass available in conjunction with automatic rain and headlight sensing, redesigned rear seat that will provide extra storage space.
