Land Rover celebrates a major production milestone with its six millionth vehicle produced in Solihull, a Range Rover LWB Vogue SE which is displayed at the Shanghai Auto Show.

The Yulong White Range Rover, which was completed on April 2, is fitted with a bespoke puddle lamp graphic that displays the Land Rover logo and the landmark figure.

Andy Goss, Director, Group Sales Operations, Jaguar Land Rover, said: “It’s fitting that the 6,000,000th Land Rover to be produced is a Range Rover, since this year marks the 45th anniversary of the original Range Rover’s launch and even today, the vehicle remains peerless”.

The bespoke image of the puddle lamp is created by an inscribed lens within the door mirror-mounted light, featuring a graphic the size “of a grain of rice” which is projected through a magnifying lens onto the ground each time the car is unlocked in an 80cm-diameter image. The same graphic was projected on the wall of the Solihull plant when the car rolled off the production line.
