Land Rover Range Rover Sport
Totally redesigned for 2014, the Range Rover Sport is now equipped with an aluminum monocoque chassis that helps reduce the vehicle’s weight by about 300 kg. Its shape seems to have been inspired by the Evoque, a smaller, more affordably-priced model. The basic engine is a 340-hp 3.0L V6 while a 510-hp 5.0L supercharged V8 is available on option. The all-wheel drive is sophisticated, the passenger compartment is very luxurious and the dashboard is more user-friendly.
