Made by Urban Automotive, an English company specializing in transformations, it has a carbon aesthetic kit that required 300 hours of work

Four-wheel steering

This is exactly what a person who lives on social media and has built a career there, after his television fame, did, namely Kim Kardashian Not Happy With Her Range Rovera fifth-generation model, launched in 2021 and first Land Rover in history with four-wheel steering. A car that is a style icon but which is also hyper-technological, from the air suspension to the wide range of diesel and petrol engines, with hybrid and even plug-in systems.
