2009 Range Rover Sport Facelift?

At first glance, this may appear to be just another box-on-wheels Range Rover, but this is actually supposed to be the 2009 Range Rover Sport. Look closely and you'll notice the front end has been subtly reshaped to feel a bit more like the recent Land Rover LRX Concept. Yawn. So they re-drew a few lines, what's the big deal? According to the spies, the 2009 model will be available with a new 5.0-liter V8. More »

Limited! Edition! 2008 Range Rover Sport LE!

For those who want their supercharged SUV with a few tablespoons more luuuuuxury, Range Rover says peep the LE. Only 250 of the tweaked models will make the rounds, each with "flush-fitting front and rear bumpers," an extended rear roof spoiler, body-colored lower side panels, a new rear exhaust treatment, tread strips and 20-inch Stormer wheels. Inside, there's a cold climate option, adaptive front lighting, premium leather, hand-polished oak wooden trim and a center console cooler box.

More Maximum Overfinch: 440hp Range Rover Sport

When one becomes a footballer, some acquisitions are mandatory. On the official checklist, just below "trophy wife with a rhymey stripper name and IQ just under Pi" is a juiced-up Range Rover Sport. And the UK's Overfinch has become the more-or-less official supplier of the latter. The company's Rangies have become somewhat legendary in their home country, and the shop has tooled up to meet the widening demand. Classic Driver recently showed up at Overfinch's Solihull plant to check out one of its tweakers, a custom-blue Sport model with 440 hp. Practice those corner kicks, kids; you too might become a prowd owner (and husband of someone named Chynna St. Claire) someday. More »
