Land Rover SVX to be unveiled at Geneva

Motoring enthusiasts heading to this year's Geneva motor show are in for a treat - with dozens of manufacturers showing off their latest models.

One such firm is Land Rover, which will be showcasing its LRX concept cross-coupe for the very first time in Europe.

It is set to be on the stand next to the Defender SVX special edition – which has never before been unveiled and has been manufactured to celebrate the car giant's 60th anniversary.

Both cars look set to excite Land Rover fans – with the LRX already impressing those who caught a glimpse of it at the Detroit Auto show in the US.

"[After Detroit, I'm] even more certain this would be a hugely exciting direction for us to take," Land Rover managing director Phil Popham told worldcarfans.com.

Expected to go on sale in 2010, the LRX is expected to cost around £30,000 and benefits from a top speed of 135mph and a 2,000cc engine.
