New Range Rover Sport is the ultimate premium sports SUV – the fastest, most agile and responsive Land Rover ever. Developed alongside the highly-acclaimed all-new Range Rover, the new Range Rover

With 600Nm of torque, this variant delivers outstanding performance along with exceptional efficiency. While the formidable 510PS 5.0-Litre V8 Supercharged Petrol Engine retains its place at the pinnacle of the all-new Range Rover Sport line-up. With huge reserves of power (510 PS) and Torque (625 Nm), the scale of the performance on offer is reflected in the 0-100 kmph time of 5.3 seconds (faster than the outgoing model), all achieved with supreme refinement and a flat ride. Both 3.0L SDV6 Diesel and 5.0L S/C Petrol engines are equipped with optimum power output, high torque and acceleration, thereby increasing engine performance.
