Watch out Cayenne Turbo S?

Well this is bold. Following the Autobiography Dynamic Evoque shown at Geneva, Land Rover has further upped its performance ante with an uberRange Rover Sport. Hopefully the mooted RS tag can remain too, just so the car can be referred to as the RRS RS.


These look jolly loud

Anyway, what to expect? Land Rover will be utilising the 550hp variant of the supercharged 5.0 V8 to power the RS, 40hp on the standard supercharged car and of course also found in the Jag XFR-S and F-Type R. Fingers crossed it sounds like the latter.

Even discounting the, erm, distinctive camo seen on this car, it's clear the flagship Sport will be easy to identify from a V6 diesel. That thunderous V8 has additional intakes at the front and what appear to be bigger exhausts out the back. Suspension tweaks means it sits a little lower than standard as well.

Sitting behind some rather aftermarket looking rims are blue Brembo calipers, implying improved stopping performance.

There's nothing seen of the interior just yet, but the same lavish appointments from the standard Sport will most likely make it across. Perhaps some different seats will be dropped in along with some appropriately sporty trim options.


Hardly slipping under the radar...

Question their legitimacy all you will but the popularity of mega SUVs simply won't abate. The 550hp Range Rover Sport will compete against the Mercedes ML63 AMG, Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, BMW X5 M, all packing over 500hp and more than two tonnes of mass. Will Audi join the fray soon?

It has been suggested the RS will go on sale early next year. But then the New York show is next month, and we all know what Land Rover did there in 2013 with the standard Sport... More news as it arrives.

Lá se foram as redutoras de série no Range Rover Sport [8b]

Percebo a tua indignação, mas realmente este era o caminho a ser seguido, a bem da eficiência em estrada. Estes carros passam 99% do tempo neste tipo de piso, e em versões com pretensões desportivas tem lógica que abdiquem das qualidades off road. Não deixa de ser uma contradição, um "Land Rover" destes, mas infelizmente é este o caminho a ser tomado.
 
Redutoras nestes carros é peso desnecessário.

Como já foi dito, passam mais de 99% do tempo em estrada, e os motores são possantes q.b. para uma aventura mais complicada

Redutoras era antigamente quando tinhamos uns diesel atmosféricos de 75cv, como nas Toyota, etc...
