● Brand promises car will have exceptional low-grip abilities

WE are used to seeing spy pictures of the latest cars undergoing testing, but Land Rover is looking to frustrate the snappers by releasing its own images of the new zero-emissions Range Rover Electric, driving across a frozen lake deep within in the Arctic Circle.

The various images (above) show the forthcoming range flagship in "all-black" guise. They reveal a car that looks strikingly similar to the existing petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid Range Rover; the only discernible difference at this stage aside from a green flash on the number plate - is the aero-optimised grille design. Indeed, the headlights, bonnet, lower bumper and scuff plates all look identical to those found on the EV's combustion-engined counterparts.
