As if the Range Rover Evoque didn't already stand out enough, Land Rover is adding a Sicilian Yellow Limited Edition model to make the stylish CUV even harder to miss. Debuting this week at the Brussels Motor Show, this new Evoque model will go on sale in May, and while we don't know which exact market it will be sold in, we know for sure it won't be coming to the US.

The new limited-edition model is available on the Evoque's three- and five-door body styles, and paint schemes are limited to either Sicilian Yellow with a Santorini Black roof and door mirrors or Santorini Black with a Sicilian Yellow roof and door mirrors. Surprisingly, the Evoque doesn't look that bad in yellow, but the reverse paint scheme looks very odd. The interior also gets plenty of yellow with an anodized accent running across the instrument panel and contrasting stitching throughout most of the leather-laden cabin.

This model also debuts the Evoque's new Black Design Pack, which will be available on all Evoque Dynamic models starting in April. The Black Design Pack will add darkened headlights and foglights, black Range Rover lettering on the hood, black 20-inch wheels, black painted accents on the front and rear fascias, clear-lensed taillights and a liftgate spoiler.

More information about this new Evoque model is posted in a press release after the jump.

Jaguar F-Type greets US, shows off range of personalization

While the debut of the XFR-S is likely fresh on everyone's minds and browser windows, the other big story of late at Jaguar is the F-Type coupe and convertible. Originally unveiled in Paris, the LA show was the first opportunity that the sub-XK performance machine will be seen Stateside. However, it was not just the same news that we first heard in Paris, as Jaguar used LA to showcase its newly available "Black" design pack.

This styling package includes gloss black finishes for the grill surround, side vents, a flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, gloss black interior touches, and instrument panel rings. This package is available with Ultimate Black, Polaris White, Italian Racing Red, Rhodium Silver, Grey and Firesand (seen above) body colors.

The Black pack can be had on either the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 model, or the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 version. Specific additional "Black" tweaks are available based on which derivative you select. Specifically, a gloss-black rear valence is a V6-only modification.

Jaguar design chief Ian Callum shared his thoughts on the design pack: "For me, good automotive design should be about creating excitement, so being here in LA to witness the positive reaction to both the XFR-S and F-Type - two highly distinctive performance cars - is very satisfying."

No word yet on the pricing for this option pack or how many F-Types will be available in this configuration, but check out our galleries and read the press release below to see what this design pack is all about.
