There's a (strong) rumour that with a 10 speed box, the first three are effectively low range 1,2,3
It helps to reduce the weight of the next gen vehicles nBodsys Brake Bible

Bring back the DAF infinitely variable drive!!
There is a lot of sense in that. To keep the engine spinning near the peak torque is very efficient.
Personally, I think the near future will see more cars like the Vauxhall Ampera, with the engine driving a big generator, and all propulsion coming from electric motors.
Did JLR not talk about a gas turbine prototype recently? where the GT drove a generator to charge the batteries when needed.

So the option for no low ratio box like we see on the 'cheap' versions on the new RRS?
