Newport Convertible Engineering is known for taking fixed-roof machines and chopping them up to create convertible versions. The company does it with pretty much every vehicle out there, and the results certainly vary. One vehicle we wouldn't expect them to apply the drop-top conversion to would be a luxury off-roader like the latest Range Rover. We're incorrect in that assumption because that's exactly what the company has done. Ladies and gentleman, feast your eyes on the Range Rover Convertible AKA the Vogue. Now, we're not ones to hate on the custom works of others. People put time...

Few vehicles undergo such a dramatic change between generations as that of the new 2014 Range Rover Sport as well as its Range Rover sibling that was launched last year. Land Rover started with a clean sheet design for both vehicles and the investment has paid off in spades.

The key is its aluminum chassis, which features a design flexible enough to allow even more engines...
