Dopo il lancio a Villa d’Este, il prototipo K39 ha affrontato la salita del Festival of Speed: un primo test pubblico tra ambizioni tecniche, sviluppo racing e … un fuori programma diventato virale   Due mesi dopo la presentazione al Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, la Kimera K39 ha lasciato la cornice statica dei debutti di lusso per misurarsi con un palcoscenico molto diverso: la celebre salita del Festival of Speed di Goodwood. Per il costruttore italiano non si è trattato di una semplice passerella. La comparsa in movimento della K39 ha segnato il battesimo dinamico della nuova hypercar, confermando il passaggio del progetto dalla show car al prototipo in fase di sviluppo attivo .  Goodwood occupa un posto particolare nella storia recente di Kimera. Proprio qui, nel 2021, il marchio si era presentato al pubblico internazionale con la EVO37, reinterpretazione contemporanea della Lancia 037. Cinque anni dopo, la casa è tornata nello stesso scenario con un obiettivo più ...

Il motore V8 biturbo 4.4 di derivazione BMW che equipaggia il Defender più potente, estremo e esclusivo scende da 635 CV a 537 CV : 98 Cv in meno , non per una scelta di prodotto ma per rispettare la normativa Euro6e-bis .  Il risultato è una accelerazione da 0 a 100 km/h che si allunga di 4 decimi: 4,4 secondi anziché 4. La coppia , invece, è rimasta invariata : 750 Nm , erogati da 1.800 giri/min a 5.950 giri/min. Per consolare (si fa per dire) i prossimi acquirenti gli ingegneri della Casa inglese hanno lavorato sull’ impianto di scarico per regalare all’otto cilindri mild-hybrid un timbro più grave e più aggressivo. Meno potenza, più sound: una soluzione discutibile, forse, ma non priva di una logica commerciale.  Oltre alle modifiche tecniche, Land Rover ha ampliato le opzioni per il colore di carrozzeria . Nuovo nella gamma è il Patagonia White con finitura opaca (optional a 6.737 euro) e debutta il Woolston Green metallizzato ricevuto dalla gamma Land Rover Defender ...
