Range Rover Sport

The 2009 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is rated low with its features , stiff profile, resembling the larger Range Rover, with a lower center of gravity and underpinnings that are improved more on the roading then off-roading experience . The shape reminds of the classic Range Rovers that released long before the Sport's 2006 introduction, all with its special features such as the thin roof pillars and a purposeful presence that looks like it's ready to challenge the forest trails or desert sands.
Available in two models, HSE and Supercharged, the 2009 Range Rover Sport HSE uses a 4.4-liter V-8 that generates 300 horsepower and 315 pound-feet of torque. The 4.2-liter Supercharged model generates 390 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque—which will drive the Supercharged model to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. The Supercharged scores speed with large Brembo brakes that are actually quite necessary due to this SUV's velocity potential and weight.Fortunaltly, this medium-sized SUV weighs more than 5,500 pounds—about the same as the spacious Range Rover and the significantly larger Cadillac Escalade. Unfortunately, fuel economy is poor, at a rated 12 mpg city, 18 highway with either engine.
