Lumma Design previews 2013 Range Rover upgrade programme
German tuner Lumma Design has revealed its first styling and performance package for the new-generation Range Rover, featuring a wide-body kit, carbon fibre elements and a V8 power boost.
Lumma Design has released details of its upcoming upgrade programme for the 2013 Range Rover, marking one of the first comprehensive aftermarket packages for the new generation of Land Rover’s flagship SUV. The German tuning firm’s CLR R kit brings both visual and mechanical changes, with deliveries expected to begin in 2013.
Wide-body styling and carbon fibre details
The CLR R body kit is the centrepiece of Lumma’s offering. It introduces a new front bumper with larger air intakes, a revised grille, and a carbon fibre bonnet. The side profile is transformed by extended skirts and pronounced wheel arch extensions, while the rear receives a carbon fibre bumper with integrated diffuser and a roof-mounted spoiler. All elements are designed to emphasise the Range Rover’s size and presence, pushing the SUV further towards the aggressive end of the luxury market.
Interior and engine upgrades
Inside, Lumma promises a two-tone leather upholstery treatment, aluminium pedal covers, carbon fibre trim and bespoke door sill plates. These changes are aimed at customers seeking to differentiate their Range Rover further from standard models, with an emphasis on luxury materials and visual drama. No details have been given on infotainment or technology upgrades at this stage.
The 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine is the focus of Lumma’s power upgrade. The company claims outputs of either 540bhp or 560bhp will be available, though it has not yet released details of the modifications involved. This represents a notable increase over the standard supercharged V8, and would place the tuned Range Rover among the most powerful luxury SUVs on the market at launch.
Market context and availability
Lumma’s announcement comes just months after Land Rover unveiled the fourth-generation Range Rover, which features an all-aluminium body and a more upmarket interior than its predecessor. The German tuner’s early move into the new model’s aftermarket segment is likely to appeal to buyers who want to stand out from factory-specification vehicles, particularly in markets where personalisation is a key selling point.
Pricing and full technical specifications are yet to be confirmed. Lumma Design has indicated that further details will follow ahead of the upgrade package’s market launch in 2013.
