On July 25th, the beautifully decorated showroom at British Motor Car Distributors in San Francisco was abuzz with excitement about the all-new Range Rover Evoque! Land Rover's stylish new luxury crossover SUV was unveiled to an eagerly waiting audience during a glamorous launch party, co-sponsored by City National Bank and Nadared Vodka.
The festivities included welcoming comments by Bob Fitzgerald, co-host of KNBR's "Fitz and Brooks Show", the unveiling of the Range Rover Evoque by Kjell Qvale and a brief presentation by Tim Scully, Evoque product training specialist from Land Rover University. After the official announcements, the exclusive San Francisco crowd enjoyed delicious appetizer-sized dishes complete with cocktails and plenty of champagne from LRE Catering while listening to the upbeat club mix of DJ Scyther.
The Range Rover Evoque models on display - 2 five-door and one coupe - received great feedback from the party guests. All in attendance agreed that the lightest, most fuel-efficient addition Range Rover ever produced has the makings of a huge hit. Equally enthusiastic about the launch celebration were the trainers from Land Rover University, as head trainer Tim Scully puts it: "We were stoked to bring the all new Range Rover Evoque to British Motors today, and this was an amazing party!" Thanks everyone for coming to celebrate the Evoque launch at British Motor Car Distributors, and we hope you enjoy viewing our photo gallery.
