It seems that several buyers that like the luxury and off-road capabilities displayed by the Range Rover found its size too imposing. To accommodate them, the engineers have concocted the Sport version, with a wheelbase that is 140 mm shorter and an overall length that is shorter by 161 mm when compared with the original Range Rover. And like the original, the standard engine has a 4.4-litre displacement and produces 300 horsepower, while the 4.2-litre V8 engine with compressor produces 100 more.
