Land Rover’s six millionth production car stars at Shanghai

The landmark Range Rover LWB Vogue SE finished in ‘Yulong White’ was completed on April 2. A bespoke puddle lamp graphic has been fitted, with the one-off motif replacing the standard Range Rover’s silhouette  that is projected by the car’s puddle lamps.

It is created by an inscribed lens fitted within the door mirror-mounted downlight. The irradiated graphic, which is initially the width of a grain of rice, is projected through a magnifying lens onto the ground each time the vehicle is unlocked. The projected image measures 80cm in diameter.

The six millionth Land Rover will be featured in a number of celebratory events being staged in China, as this year also marks the 45^th anniversary of Range Rover production for the firm. More than 9,00,000 vehicles of the six million produced by Land Rover have been Ranger Rovers.

The Jaguar-Land Rover Group sales operations director Andy Goss said: “It’s fitting that the six millionth Land Rover to be produced is a Range Rover, since this year marks the 45^th anniversary of the original Range Rover’s Launch and even today, the vehicle remains peerless.”
