No doubt Land Rover rolled the dice when it built the Range Rover Evoque->ke3666 – the small crossover with looks unlike anything it had ever built before. The crossover came in both four- and two-door version, the latter of which elevated the gamble even further. Now Land Rover->ke46 is throwing the ivories again with the upcoming Range Rover Evoque Convertible. That’s right, a drop-top Range Rover.

Land Rover officially teased the Evoque Convertible with a short theatrical video showing the open-air crossover driving through the Crossrail tunnel system – a network of 26 miles of tunnels still under construction some 130 feet below the streets of London.

Apparently dismissing the failed attempt at a convertible crossover by Nissan->ke62 with its Murano Crosscabriolet, Land Rover is set to release the Evoque Convertible for the 2016 model year. This isn’t the first time we’ve hear plans of its production, however. Its first debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show had rumors flying about a 2013 production.

The Evoque Convertible’s second chance at life seems more grounded in truth, so expect Land Rover to official debut the vehicle within the next few months.

The wireframes were made on a 1:1 scale and want to give the public a chance to see how the Evoque Convertible will look in its natural urban environment. An official debut of the Evoque Convertible is set to be unveiled in November.
