So say's Autocar. Same chassis and interior. Compared to the current RRS that is Disco based, this could make the new, no doubt, lower cost RRS a more interesting proposition?

Whilst I'm sure they'll share as much as they can underneath, they're going to be different cars for different markets. |

I think the most significant change to the current RRS is that rather than being 2/3rds Disco the new RRS will be 2/3rds FFRR, which I expect will change it's character somewhat from the current model. Also, according to Autocar they are reintroducing the TDV8 to the RRS. Only a test drive will tell. MY23 D350 HSE

Having come from an RRS to a RR they are both excellent but very different vehicles.

The Auto-Express item on this also states to expect at least a 10% price hike over current RRS models.................. where do LR think we are all getting all this money from to buy their cars? 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes |

Allan, you are correct that the current RRS is very different to the FFRR. I tried a RRS before buying my first FFRR and I am now on my third FFRR. However, the main reason the current models of the RRS and FFRR are so different is because they are based on different floor plans and structures. This will not be the case going forward according to AutoCar, so their driving experience could be much closer in future. Although I doubt the interior will provide a similar experience even if just for reasons of space and seating. MY23 D350 HSE

That's why they give us downsizing options with new models. |
