The Range Rover Sport is a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV); it is manufactured by Jaguar Land Rover which is part of the Indian automaker Tata Motors. The Range Rover Sport has been very popular around the globe; sales at a Land Rover Dealer in Kirkcaldy have been very encouraging even through the recession hit market.
The Range Rover Sport is powered by a supercharged 4.2litre all-aluminium Jaguar AJ-V8 producing 390hp and 410 lbft torque, making it the second most powerful vehicle in the Land Rover's history, second to the larger Range Rover Vogue Supercharged which produces 400hp.
There is also a naturally-aspirated 4.4litre variant producing 300hp and 425313 lbft torque and has been adapted by Land Rover with a slightly greater capacity and increased torque. Realising that the current automotive market is keen on diesel power Land Rover introduced a new diesel engine, the 3.6litre twin turbo diesel TDV8.
During the early 2000 years Land Rover and Jaguar were under Ford's ownership, during these years both historic British brands suffered their worst times, with both very close to administration at numerous occasions.
The takeover by the Indian car maker Tata was received with much caution; no one wanted a British brand to be sold to a foreign firm again. Tata Motors had to give reassurances to the UK government that manufacturing of its vehicles will remain in the UK, the government also ensured Tata Motors were in good financial state to ensure a stable future for the 2 British Marques.
With the Range Rover Sport, Jaguar XF, Jaguar XJ and the new Range Rover Evoque being received very well by consumers and receiving very positive reviews by industry pundits we can be rest assured the British brands are going through a revival which will secure their future.
