Larte Design Range Rover Sport Looks Like It’s Been Drilled: Essen 2014

Have you ever looked at your Range Rover Sport and thought “hmm... my Rangie looks like it doesn’t have enough holes in its body?” In case your answer is “yes” you can consider yourself a lucky person. Russian tuner Larte Design has created a Range Rover Sport body kit that gives you just what you need.

The aftermarket culture has reached record levels in Russia, so this is a package that comes to meet customer demand. As for the flashiness exuded by the project, let’s just say that Russian tuning customers aren’t exactly restrained people, so, once again, the styling comes to cater to an existing need.

A two-tone color scheme was used - the standard hue scheme of the Range Rover Sport basically invites tuners to do this.

 The styling details

Perhaps the most striking part of the front end is the new grille, which brings a trio of Lamborghini-like intakes. The front apron falls in line with the angular styling. While the new bumper obviously affects the ground clearance, it does include parking sensors and front view cameras.

Tuners from across the world used to offer daytime running lights with LED technology when automakers didn’t include this in their offer. Many cars (with the Range Rover Sport obviously included) come with LED DRLs nowadays, but tuners insist on adding their own LEDs, as is the case here.

The only element that drew our attention on the side of the vehicle was a set of wheels that feature a multi-spoke design and a deep concave profile.

Moving to the rear, we found an apron that has even more openings than the one up front, while housing a diffuser-like element and quadruple tailpipes. Once again the LEDs have their special place, in the from of an F1-style light placed within the diffuser-like element of the rear bumper. The roof spoiler completes the package.

We met the creation live on the floor of the Essen 2014 tuning show and while we’re not big fans of the styling, we have to admit there were no issues in the build quality department.
