RANGE ROVER SPORT PROTOTYPE 5.0 SUPERCHARGED AUTOBIOGRAPHY DYNAMIC

摘要

When the first-generation Range Rover Sport appeared, the clue was supposed to be in the name. But a weight of well over two-and-a-half tonnes was inimical to a sporty nature. Yes, it would do some surprisingly athletic things, but the veins in its neck were standing out with the effort. The new TDV6 RRS has lost the equivalent weight of five well-fed men - 420kg - by switching to aluminium for the monocoque and suspension and making a low box optional. The V8, which keeps that dual range, has dropped 300kg. It's still 2.3 tonnes, but then we're looking at a big and capable vehicle. The off-roading stats are best in class: the wheels have more than 500mm of vertical travel and it'll wade to a frankly terrifying 850mm. Plus, it now provides the option of a third row of seats.
