Range Rover Has a Funky New Secondary Logo and a Pattern to Match
Jaguar , now JLR, has a funky new logo for Range Rover to help distinguish the brand as part of JLR's recent House of Brands strategy. The new logo features stacked and mirrored Rs, with the brand also showing a new checker pattern built up of Range Rover Rs in interlocking circles. Don't be alarmed, as the brand told it won't replace the script logo found on the front and rear of every model. JLR is sporting a new logo for its Range Rover brand, now that it can't exist as a sub-brand under Land Rover. Autocar broke the news, spotting the logo in a recent JLR investor presentation. The new logo features a set of stacked and mirrored Rs in the brand's typical script. Jaguar previously revealed its new minimalist set of logos, including a typeface that mixes uppercase and lowercase letters, but we're still waiting for dedicated rebrands for the Discovery and Defender SUVs. The brand also revealed what it is calling the "Range Rover Pattern," which is effectively a new checker pattern of interlocking and rotated Range Rover Rs. The automaker hasn't announced how it plans to use the new pattern, but we wouldn't be surprised to find it in future Range Rover front ends, or as part of the upholstery of future models. The new logo and motif aren't intended to replace the "Range Rover" script badging on the front and rear of every model. "The Range Rover Motif has been developed as a smaller symbol for where our familiar Range Rover device mark does not fit, such as on a label or as part of a repeating pattern, and within event spaces where an emblem is more appropriate," a JLR spokesperson confirmed to Car and Driver.

Everything Coming to the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed
It's that time of year again—the Goodwood Festival of Speed kicks off this week. The annual automotive event, which sees hundreds of vehicles take on the 1.17-mile hillclimb course, returns to the iconic Goodwood House in West Sussex for its 32nd consecutive year. This year looks like it'll be another doozy. Dozens of automakers plan to debut new vehicles on the show lawn, while a handful of others hope to break records at the hillclimb event over the long weekend. We'll be there to see it all in person. In the meantime, here's a quick list of every new car you'll be able to see when Goodwood opens its doors beginning on Thursday, July 10. BMW Vision Driving Experience Concept Photo by: BMW Following its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show, BMW will run its Vision Driving Experience up the hill at Goodwood this weekend. While there are no plans to put this car into production, it serves as a clear picture of how the upcoming 'Neue Klasse' 3 Series will look when it hits the road next year. Funky fascia and widebody aside, the most interesting part of the Vision Driving Experience is what BMW calls the 'Heart of Joy,' a centralized computer system responsible for controlling the car's dynamic functions like braking, charging, battery regeneration, and steering. Dash SlipStream Photo by: Dash Bespoke Dash, a UK-based racing company that's been around since the mid-2000s, just launched a new spinoff focused on road-going sports cars . But instead of debuting just one vehicle, this company will build you your own supercar, essentially from the ground up. And instead of charging millions for a bespoke chassis, the company will base its new creations on its carbon fiber monocoque architecture, codenamed TR01. The TR01 works with anything from batteries to a naturally aspirated V-8 with a manual transmission. It uses a mid-engine layout paired with a double-wishbone suspension with inboard springs and dampers. The first car to be based on the TR01, the SlipStream, will show its face at Goodwood. Honda Civic Type R Ultimate Photo by: Honda Honda killed the Civic Type R in Europe due to stricter emissions regulations, but the hot hatch gets a proper sendoff with the Type R Ultimate Edition . It gets a host of cosmetic mods, including a carbon fiber wing, a black roof, and some red stripes on the hood and doors. Inside, you'll find even more carbon fiber trim, along with red floor mats. Things are untouched under the hood, though we're not complaining. The turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four produces a healthy 324 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, sending power to the front wheels via one of the best six-speed manuals on sale today. Honda hasn't said how many Ultimate Editions will be built, though we suspect it won't be many. Honda Super EV Photo by: Honda A special Type R isn't the only thing Honda's bringing to Goodwood this year. The automaker will also debut a new concept called the Super EV . It's a tiny, A-segment hatchback that could be a successor to Honda's much-loved E hatchback sold in Europe. Details on the Super EV are slim, though judging by its license plates and full-sized side mirrors, it looks fairly production-ready. There are significant fender flares and a big, wide bumper hiding under that camouflage, suggesting some sportiness. To us, the Super EV looks most closely related to the Honda N-One, a similarly sized hatchback currently sold in Japan. So it's possible this car could be its replacement. Hyundai Ioniq 6 N Photo by: Hyundai The Hyundai Ioniq 6 N is one of the most highly anticipated EVs of 2025. And since it was teased way back in 2022, it's also long overdue. Teasers and spy photos suggest widebody fenders, a more aggressive fascia, and a big wing out back for better aerodynamics. Hyundai has yet to reveal specs, though we expect the Ioniq 6 N to share a drivetrain with its crossover sibling, the Ioniq 5 N. That means up to 641 horsepower and 545 pound-feet of torque from two electric motors—one at the front, and another at the rear. The 6's smaller size means it should be lighter, equating to a 0-60 time in the low three-second range. Land Rover Range Rover Sport SV Black Edition Photo by: Land Rover Blacked-out trim is an ever-growing trend in the industry, and Land Rover is taking full advantage with its latest model, the Range Rover Sport SV Black. As the name suggests, virtually every surface, inside and out, is covered in black trim, from the 23-inch alloy wheels to the gigantic brake calipers. The leather, the logos, and even the lug nuts are blacked out. Thankfully, nothing changes under the hood. Like the regular RR Sport SV , the Black gets a BMW-sourced twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 with mild hybrid assistance, pushing out a total of 626 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque. That's enough for a 0-62 time of just 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 180 miles per hour. Lanzante 95-59 Photo by: Lanzante Bespoke UK carmaker Lanzante has a lot of history with the McLaren F1. It was the team that fielded an F1 GTR at the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans, taking overall victory. Now, to pay tribute to that victory, it's building an F1-inspired supercar of its own. The car, codenamed Project 95-59 , will be based on a McLaren and utilize a three-seat configuration. Though Lanzante hasn't confirmed it, we suspect that means it'll be based on the Speedtail, McLaren's only modern three-seater. The company says the car will target a 700-horsepower-per-ton power-to-weight ratio, but stopped short of revealing what sort of powertrain we should expect. If we had to guess, it'll likely be a modified version of the Speedtail's twin-turbo V-8.
