Smaller Rangey becomes socially irresponsible and gets 503bhp V8

The aim, as chassis engineer Mike Cross tells it, was to gently lift the Range Rover Sport’s game. And lifted it has indeed been in many areas. This is a subtly and thoughtfully enhanced SUV – albeit one that, in supercharged V8 petrol guise at least, isn’t exactly in tune with the times.

But then social responsibility has never been the Range Rover Sport’s calling card, and that hasn’t prevented flocks of people buying them. Besides, the new one gives you some favourable stats with which to batter non-believers. It’s cleaner and more efficient, quieter and smoother. And 118bhp more powerful. Best keep that one quiet. The 0-60mph time has had 1.3sec lopped from it too, making this direct-injection 5-litre off-roader as fast as a Focus RS to 60mph and probably beyond.

You’d never guess it weighs the thick side of two and a half tons when you gun it in a straight line, so ably does it pile on speed. The nose lifts as the suspension compresses, there’s a seismic rumble from the V8 and you get the feeling that, if off-road racing specialists Bowler made a luxury car, it would behave a lot like this – mostly civilised, but with just a hint of bare-knuckle boxer.

This car is perfect and it will sell over here. They call it the "PIMP" .. its a chick magnet and I don't know why ... even more than a Ferrari

I used to love the pre facelift one. Now it looks too boxy, like a larger scion whatever.

It definitely is - would prefer the Range Rover over the Sport, nevertheless both look absolutey perfect and both interiors are mind-blowing.
