| Could this be the headlights of the next generation DISCO? |
|
Just found something interesting on the LRX site.
http://lrx.landrover.com/index.html
Click on the red dot on the doorsill
Then on the next button
The movie starts with Phil Popham and just after the Julian Thompson starts to talk you see the headlights, grill and the bonnet which says LAND ROVER.
You can see the daytime running light LED's following the contoures of the double circle design.
Might also be the new nose of the 2010 sport with the wrong decals.
Anyone with more info on this?

The Headlight unit isn't tall enough to be D3.
Unless there is some major cosmetic surgery to the front end!
Just look at the height of the D3 units on the avatars and compare.
I reckon it's more RRS or FFRR. slowly re-building my gallery after the wipe out !!!!

OOps newbie error 
I thought of RR to but there are no castelations on the bonnet,
they might do the same trick as on the FFRR. Pull-up The bumpercorners and make smaller headlights.
Are daytime runninglights illigal in UK?
In Belgium every single new Audi has them.

I reckon that D3 is probably just a test mule for a new engine etc for the RRS ? one day we'll all know, until then just pretend we do....

If you look up the registration details for VX57 XGO it comes back as a 5.0 litre Petrol?
However, the grill and front end is exactly the same as those pics from the video (in silver). It looks like the lights have been reduced in height by curving up the bumper almost to the level of the bottom of our main beam spots. If you look on the black RRS style grill on the mule shot above, you can see where the new bumper curves up to. Paul
