I did, but very little info in USA other than the few YouTube’s. Dealer doesn’t even know what models (90, 110, 130) it may come in. Dealer hopes to get more info soon. I have mixed feelings. I have a Mercedes E63s so I really don’t need another speed machine. But I didn’t NEED the Mercedes either. Hard to imagine significant interior upgrades. And then there is the suspension.

I’ve had an email to sign an NDA but the link to sign doesn’t work. Did you have to sign anything?
Apparently LR are taking the deposits and spec at the events which are going to be held in May and also at Goodwood apparently. I’m hoping to get more info next week |

Once you have the invite and sign the NDA you will then get a further email to pay - once done give the LR folk a few days and you will get the invite asking which day and time you wish to attend

It would be funny if the price exceeds the maximum value of Land Rovers own (joke) Insurance.
Its coming to that time when manufacturers are going for their last hurrah before they go EV and then out of business......  |

Never understood the logic of making a vehicle ‘more off road ready’, then pricing it in a way the enthusiast could never afford and the ‘banker’ buying it will never want to get their brown loafers dirty.
Better off buying a Wolf, a darn sight cheaper and more fun and looks super cool. In my lower budget opinion…. |

Autocar reports “tipped to nudge £200k”. That’s three D250 HSE’s…
