The Paris Motor Show is coming up later this week, and all the major car manufacturers are giving auto enthusiasts an early sneak peek at what they can expect to see from the show. Up until the show, we are going to bring you the latest news and announcements coming out of the Paris Motor Show.

The new Range Rover has already made Autoblog’s list of their top 10 Paris Motor Show debuts, but two weeks ago, Land Rover customers got a sneak peek of the new Range Rover at the beautiful former Frick estate.

Those who were lucky enough to get an invite got to preview the new vehicle, tour the grounds and mansion, and enjoy catered food and cocktails. For longtime fans, there was a lot to admire about the model’s updates. Changes to the Range Rover included the fully automatic “Terrain Response 2” system, a more aerodynamic design, and an all-aluminum unibody structure that is 700 pounds lighter than the previous model. Such a dramatic drop in the weight of the car will create better fuel efficiency for the Range Rover, making it more appealing to the environmentally conscious and those who would rather pay less at the pump.

Attendees at the Paris Motor Show will get to see the new Range Rover soon enough, but it was a nice gesture for Land Rover to show their appreciation to their most loyal customers by hosting this event prior to the show. Ultimately, they gave their fans exactly what they wanted, which was a new Range Rover that improved on the past model. Everything else (cocktail hour included) was just an extra perk.
