British supermodel and actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley last week swapped the catwalks of Paris Fashion Week for the River Seine as she showcased the Land Rover Discovery Sport premium compact SUV at its unique public debut.She was seen stepping from one of a pair of Discovery Sports aboard a giant barge moored in the centre of the city.
The former Victoria's Secret model, also known for her role in Transformers: Dark of the Moon and the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road, was stood flanked by seven pairs of brightly coloured, giant-sized Wellington boots - some as tall as 4.5 metres. The boots, a creative reference to both the Discovery's versatile seating layout and Land Rover's unique take on outdoor life, brought a sense of fun to the Rive Gauche.
After revealing Discovery Sport to the world's media for the first time, the 80-metre long barge continued to turn heads on its attention-grabbing journey down the River Seine, cruising past Parisian landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame Cathedral.You can view the launch film with Rosie at http://youtu.be/bgqJLWyFsXY
Discovery Sport was revealed digitally at Virgin Galactic's Spaceport America facility in New Mexico, USA early last month.
