New Limited Edition Freelander 2 02 | 12 | 2010

LAND ROVER'S new limited edition of the Freelander 2 SD4 Sport will arrive in Scottish dealerships at the beginning of the year. Prices for the special edition — only 500 will be available in the UK — will start at £33,945.

The exterior gets a new black finish to the front grille and a body styling pack that includes a rear spoiler and changes to the front corners. New 19in Shadow Chrome alloys are added, as are body-coloured door handles and mirror caps and rear privacy glass.

Three exterior colour choices are offered: Fuji White, Santorini Black and the new Firenze Red (pictured) from the Range Rover Evoque. Interior options include Ebony Windsor or Ebony Napoli leather with contrasting stitching, a piano black finish for the centre console and new carpet mats. Front and rear parking sensors are standard.

Powered by the new 2.2-litre 188bhp turbodiesel engine, the limited edition (available with automatic transmission only) accelerates from 0-60mph in 8.7 seconds with an increased top speed of 118mph. The Sport model also features an ‘Intelligent Power Management System’ that charges the battery by recovering energy lost under braking. CO2 emissions are rated at 185g/km.
