Overview


For even greater levels of comfort and technology,
the Range Rover Sport specification includes seats
in refined leather and the driver’s seat features electrically
adjustable seat bolsters and memory pack; also included
are electrically adjustable, heated powerfold exterior mirrors.
A Rear View Camera helps reversing by displaying a
wide-angled image on the Touch-screen. To add to the
ambience, you can also enjoy subtle interior mood lighting.
For extra style, stainless steel tread plates for the sills and
striking 20 inch 15-spoke alloy wheels are standard
     
A seven-passenger utility vehicle, there are those
designed primarily for on-road and those designed for off-road. Seldom is there one engineered specifically
to excel on both-until now. More powerful, versatile and capable than ever before, consider the paradox solved.




Performance

 

 


- Naturally aspirated 5.OL V8  engine produces 375 bhp
and 375 lb-ft torque

- Supercharged 5.0L V8 engine produces 510 bhp and
625 lb-ft torque

- The sophisticated six-speed automatic transmission
with Commandshift® has an adaptive shift pattern which
actually responds to driving style and driving conditions
by reconfiguring for optimum drivability in all situations.        



- 4.6L V8 engine produces 301hp and 320 lb-ft torque

controlled transmission with intelligence
 

Safety


- Full length curtain side air bags, driver and passenger
airbag, driver knee airbag, front seat pelvic and thorax
airbags

- Patented Terrain Response® technology helps the driver
conquer gravel, grass, snow, rocks, and tarmac. By simply
choosing the appropriate icon on the conveniently positioned
selector, the engine, transmission, suspension, and traction
settings are instantly reconfigured for optimum driveability.

- This driving technology takes yet another step forward with
Gradient Acceleration Control and Hill Start Assist. Gradient
Acceleration Control helps prevent situations where the
vehicle might accelerate too quickly on a steep gradient
(and Hill Descent Control has not been selected), allowing
the driver time to regain control. Hill Start Assist automatically
releases brake pressure on a steep gradient and helps
prevent the vehicle from inadvertently rolling backwards.

 works with Terrain Response® to provide excellent handling,
comfort and capability.

Interior


- The renowned command driving position, first established
by Defender, is now a central feature of every Land Rover
vehicle. It gives greater visibility ahead and of the surrounding
environment as well as adding to the driver’s control and
feeling of security.

- One glance at the new virtual instrument panel reveals the
very latest Thin Film Transistor (TFT)-LCD technology, a
stunning advance in the clarity of driver information. The new
12 inch TFT-LCD virtual instrument panel uses the same
 technology found in high-quality computer laptops and can
be both personalized and adapted to suit various driving
conditions or personal preference. During night-time driving,
for instance, the TFT-LCD virtual instrument panel's
'torchlight' setting highlights only the essential information
on the speedometer and odometer. Additionally, when
driving off-road, key dynamic information is displayed in
the center of the TFT-LCD screen, complementing the
main Touch-screen display and providing valuable
‘at a glance’ vehicle status.

- 14-speaker, 740-watt, harmon/kardon LOGIC7 digital
surround sound system.

- The Hard Disk Drive (HDD)-based Satellite Navigation
system has been redesigned to make it easier and more
 intuitive to use. Other enhancements include faster route
calculation, greater map coverage, and improved reliability.
 HDD offers improved access, new graphics, and more
data storage capability. Navigation assistance includes
off-road guidance with waymarking and contour lines display,
while points of interest can easily be stored en route. HDD
can easily be updated by British Motor Car Distributors, Ltd.

steering wheel while the Noble finish to the steering wheel spokes lends a touch of extra refinement. The optional heated steering wheel adds further richness and comfort for cold winter days.
