Land Rover’s Evoque convertible coming to motoring festival

We too would love cruising in an open-top version of Land Rover’s Evoque. On the face of it, our dreams are about to come true, as Land Rover’s first-ever convertible will also make its debut for the crowds at South African Festival of Motoring (SAFM).

In addition to seeing the new arrival at the Jaguar Land Rover stand, show goers will also have opportunities to experience products first-hand.

The Land Rover Experience team will host off-road driving experiences in a number of Land Rover products, while Jaguar Experience instructors will be on hand for thrilling, high-speed laps around the new Kyalami track, in a Jaguar F-TYPE, Jaguar XJ and Jaguar XF.

Alongside the Evoque convertible will be Jaguar’s most powerful and fastest F-Type SVR that will be shown for the first time in South Africa boasting a supercharged V8 mill that gushes out 423kW and 700Nm of torque, all sent to all four wheels to give it a leap off the line and reach 100km/h in just 3.7 seconds.

The SVR will max out at 322km/h.

The SAFM starts on Wednesday, August 31, 2016, and runs through to Sunday, September 4, 2016. Tickets are available online at Computicket or on the date, at the gate.
