Range Rover Sport

Brand new for 2006, this is a slightly smaller and sportier version of the Range Rover, and is designed to compete with models like the BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne. Its bodywork is more tapered than its larger sibling, with flowing lines that give it a much more aerodynamic appearance. The front end is also bolder, with a perforated-metal grille, while a roof spoiler sits atop its angular tail treatment. The Sport comes powered in its base form by a 4.2-liter V-8 that creates 300 horsepower and 315 lb-ft of torque. The supercharged version, meanwhile, generates 390 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. This engine will take the vehicle to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. It rides on a fully independent automatic load-leveling air suspension, with standard anti-lock disc brakes that include Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Brake Assist. Also included are Dynamic Stability Control, Hill Descent Control, and an Active Roll Mitigation feature that helps to stabilize the vehicle during severe handling maneuvers. The Terrain Response System that debuted in the 2005 LR3 is likewise standard. This feature allows the driver to tailor the vehicle's electronic controls and traction aids according to varying road conditions. Sirius satellite radio is available as an option.
