Because the British automaker just teased what could be the most insanely radical variant yet.At first glance, it looks more like a wagon or fastback sedan.

It's a part of the brand's decision to split its model range into their own respective sub-brands.It's a move we've seen before, as Land Rover also spawned off the Discovery and Defender nameplates.So no, the GT is not the replacement for the Velar that's been rumored for quite some time. Rather, it's an additional variant.Never in history has there been a Range Rover like this.And, it will be all-electric, representing a new chapter in Jaguar-Land Rover's electrification strategy. It rides on the company's new EMA platform, or Electric Modular Architecture.AdvertisementAdvertisementThough, Land Rover says it will later come with the option of a gas-electric hybrid powertrain later in its product cycle.With its fastback design, low-slung roof and reduced ground clearance, the GT is clearly engineered for the road.It also showcases the company's newfound efforts in designing and engineering an environmentally sustainable and high-class interior. Using nothing but recycled materials combined with minimalistic and futuristic design.Details are limited. But the production model is scheduled for launch in 2027.About the Author: Chris Chin is an associate editor at Gear Patrol, covering cars, trucks and anything else with four wheels.
