Review of the Range Rover Sport V8
- Vaughan Freeman of the Times April 05
It is the fastest and best accelerating car Land Rover has made...
.On motorways the car is quiet, and even at 100mph wind and road noise is muted, amazing given that despite the Sport tag, this is a tall (1.8 metres), heavy (2,572kg) and wide (1.9 metres) machine...
Few roads come twistier than the switchbacks famed for their part in the Catalunya Rally just over the France-Spain border but, tyres squealing, the Sport
disposed of them with relish...
Off road, the Range Rover Sport is untouchable. While it cannot swim, it does just about everything else. You can raise the air suspension to ford rivers and the ingenious Terrain Response system will take you up sand dunes, over boulders and down seemingly sheer 43degree rock faces....
The Sport is an extraordinary car. But it is not a sports car. A sporty car, yes. Think of it as a very, very fast off-roader and a very good one at that... |
