Land Rover says that the Range Rover Sport hybrid that it is currently developing will be tested next year and will be launched in 2012. Land Rover claims that this hybrid emits only 100g/km of CO2 and offers an electric-only range of up to 20 miles.
By next year, the company would have a fleet of up to five prototypes start shakedown tests ahead the launch.
