The first production Discovery Sport has rolled off Land Rover’s production line in Halewood, UK. The car will now make its way to Virgin Galactic Headquarters, to be used by the team as they continue to prepare for the launch of the world’s first commercial spaceline.
The New Discovery Sport is the first of the new Discovery family, featuring 5+2 seating in a footprint no larger than existing 5-seat premium SUV’s. as well as Land Rover’s class-leading capability.
“It fills me with pride to have seen the first new Discovery Sport coming off the line here at out World-class Halewood production facility. We are now even more excited to hand the keys over to the crew at Virgin Galactic. The new car embodies Land Rover’s spirit of Above and Beyond, so it’s fitting that it will be used by a similarly pioneering company in Virgin Galactic” said Murray Dietsch, Director of Land Rover Programmes.
Land Rover revealed the new Discovery Sport though an online film shot at Spaceport America in New Mexico, USA, last month. The launch of the car was paired with the announcement of Land Rover’s Galactic Discovery competition, giving four friends the chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime trip to space with Virgin Galactic. Winners are to be announced next month.
