Land Rover confirms Evoque Convertible

You read that right! Drop-top announced with first prototype images. Brace yourself

Just when you thought a six-wheeled Defender was the weirdest Land Rover you were going to see today... These are the first prototype images of the Evoque convertible, announced at Geneva and with sales due to commence next year. Hmm.

The images come from a testing schedule conducted in London's Crossrail tunnels. It may look like a daft PR stunt (obviously there's a video too) but the benefit is roof-down testing out of the public eye. Apparently the unfinished tunnels allowed for some off-road exploration too. This will surely go down superbly with your local green-laners...

For now Land Rover has only released these images and confirmation of the project. Expect more details towards the end of this year. Yes, it really is happening.
