Startech Range Rover Pickup at the Shanghai Auto Show: The multi-purpose super SUV

K offer space gone, loading area here - The Startech conversion of the new Range Rover could actually be reduced to the quintessence. But behind the small transformation there is an enormous amount of effort. No less than 100 body parts had to be redesigned and made from aluminum, carbon and steel.

Range Rover Pickup also available as a wide body

The plastic-clad loading area is almost square and offers a closed tailgate a loading length of 110 centimeters. If the tailgate is opened, of course electrically by remote control or by pressing a button in the cockpit, this length is increased by a further 60 centimeters. Side carbon panels are used for the optics and, together with a roof spoiler, should optimize the air flow. This offers enough space for the small golf cutlery or the cage for the hunting falcon. The load can be lashed to massive retaining brackets in the tailgate. Behind the rear passengers in their individual seats, the technicians put in a new partition with a heated and tinted rear window.

The Shanghai show car with its supercharged V8 has 526 horsepower. The Startech pickup sprints to 100 km /h in just 5.3 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 250 km /h. Startech refines the interior of the Range Rover pickup according to customer requirements with a mix of leather, Alcantara and carbon elements - color-coordinated with the exterior, of course.

And another tip for those who want to save: The Range Rover can be used as a pickup as HGV approval - that makes import and maintenance cheaper in many countries. Only if Startech customers really pay attention to such details.
