Forty metres below the streets of London, the first prototype of Land Rover’s new Range Rover Evoque Convertible was granted exclusive access to the 26-mile network of Crossrail tunnels for a development test with a difference.
The short film begins with the ‘urban jungle’ camouflaged convertible being lowered into the tunnel network by crane, before negotiating a range of obstacles through the 6.2m diameter tunnel.
Murray Dietsch, director of Land Rover programmes, said: “The tunnels are still under construction, so we had a unique opportunity to explore the vehicle’s all-terrain ability in unchartered territory.”
