The vehicle is covered in exposed carbon fiber bodywork across the design and has a mid-placed [V10](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamborghini-huracn-tecnica) engine housed inside the tubular framework. The aft-end of the SUV has been modified to house the fuel tank along with the cooling systems to give the vehicle a well-balanced design. The Range Rover Pre-Runner concept was rendered using Autodesk 3ds Max and maintains a design that appears futuristically ready for an array of [off-road environments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/offroad-vehicle-concept). The vehicle is equipped with [BFGoodrich](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arkonik-havana-defender) Baja T/A desert racing tires to further drive home this notion of an off-road-ready design.
