The Range Rover Sport, an all-new sports tourer SUV from Land Rover, is the best-performing and best-handling vehicle that the renowned 4WD manufacturer has ever built. Powered in top-line form by a supercharged 389 bhp V8 engine, the Range Rover Sport is designed to combine invigorating dynamic ability with outstanding comfort and refinement.
The spirit of the Range Rover Sport was embodied in the Range Stormer concept vehicle, first seen at the 2004 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The top-line Range Rover Sport uses a specially-developed version of Jaguar's acclaimed 4.2-litre supercharged V8 engine. Maximum power is 389 bhp and maximum torque 550Nm with an electronically-limited top speed of 225km/h.
Power and torque are delivered to all four wheels through a ZF six-speed 'intelligent shift' automatic gearbox featuring sport programming and Land Rover's CommandShift, which offers manual control of gearchanges.
The Range Rover Sport has a five-door body style, with a single-piece rear aluminium tailgate that includes an opening rear glass for easy access. Inside, it is a roomy yet sporty five-seater featuring premium materials, including leather, wood and metallic finishes. The cockpit is designed around the driver, with a high and sweeping centre console so the driver reaches across to the controls rather than down to them. The seats are sporty and supportive.
