Supercharged Range Rover Sport Pics

I went to the LR dealership in my area and saw one of these and took a ride as well. Fast for a car that heavy. 0-60 in 7.1 sec. Doesn't beat the X5 on road, but off road is a different story.

I like it...

Not the color.. but the car..
If the new X5 is less than par, put me on the list for one.

Anyone driven one yet? Im eager to find out what X5 owners think of it. I saw a couple at local dealer, but my dad wont test drive it "for fun".

7.1? That's it? That's not that fast considering how much power it's got. It must be damn heavy.

Im almost positive its faster than that. It must be a pig.

btw, did you guys notice the first pic: theres one Silver X5 4.4 SP in middle of the herd of LR's.

Well, it's slow for a S/C motor b/c it weighs ~6,700 lbs. It handles great considering what it is. Turning radius is nice. It sounds sexy as hell. It has a very solid ride.

The dealer is asking about 92K. For those who were talking about the supercharged Range Rover. Dealers are asking for a little over $120,000. The supercharged RR and RR sport do have the same engine. They actually have almost exactly the same 0-60 time. The difference is .09 seconds. I wonder what the 1.4 mile times are on these things. They never advertise that.

Thats a really big mark up from MSRP.

I don't know if it comes in manual. The two different engines it is available in are:

4.4-litre, 300-hp V8
4.2-litre, 390-hp supercharged V8

Only the supercharged comes with the Brembos and they are only on the front brakes.

One of my best friend has one (not the supercharged), it's a beautifull design on the outside, but the inside is cheap plastic, which has always been the problem with Land Rover, they never seem to go the extra mile. I used to own a 1995 Range Rover, it was thw most comfortable car I ever had, but the most expensive one as well, in term of maintenance, it was always in the shop. Just think, even BMW (when they owned Rover) couldn't make it work! And every years it's on the least reliable car list.
