There will be one debut that is decidedly British at the Paris Motor Show next week.

Land Rover will unveil the Range Rover Evoque SW1 special edition as the first part of the company’s “Inspired by Britain” series, complete with Union Flag graphics inside and out.

Available in five different colors, each SW1 Evoque is fit with Union Flag graphics on the rear spoiler and the white mirror casings. Buyers can also choose a monochrome option which finishes the graphics and details in a single colour based on the main body color.

On the inside, Taurus Ebony leather wraps everything while the Union Flag tribute is left to an anodized red rotary shift controller and shift paddles in models with the 9-speed automatic, or a unique shifter finished with Union Jack graphics in models with the manual transmission. Head rests and floor mats also carry the Union Flag motif.

This special edition model will also be the first Evoque model fitted with Land Rover’s advanced integrated laser Head-Up Display. The company says it uses laser holographic techniques to deliver superior color saturation and brightness to fight the ‘washout’ effect from the sun.
