2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged It weighs 2,590 kilograms, yet will blast off from a standing start to 100km/h in 6.2 seconds. It’s also sports car tidy through the bends and more luxurious. Land Rover’s latest muscle car, the new generation Range Rover Sport 5.0-lire V8 Supercharged barnstormer, the fast and the furious of the off road world, if you will. There were 375 kilowatts and 625 Newton-meters of torque under the bonnet at your beckon call.

2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Apart from the supercharged badge, about the only distinguishing feature that would even mildly suggest that there’s some extra heat under bonnet, are the dual chrome tip exhaust pipes, which are non-chrome on the other Sport variants. I didn’t think there was a lot wrong with the outgoing Sport Supercharged, that is, whenever you planted the right pedal, it got down to business rather quickly. The big off roader would hunker down with a vice like grip on the tarmac, before it took off to the sound effect of the Roots-type supercharger, as it spooled up.

The gear ratios are quite tall and well calibrated for the extra torque now on tap, nonetheless, I’ve switched to the paddle shifters for that extra few hundred rpm during the overtake.

2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged It’s very tight and super composed through these turns in fact, I’m taking most of these sweeping bends flat, and the Sport isn’t moving a centimetre off track. It’s seriously impressive and doesn’t behave like a vehicle of these dimensions and weight, more like a V12 Grand Tourer than an accomplished off road specialist. As much as I’d like to think its about driver skill, that’s only half the story, Land Rover’s Adaptive Dynamics System provides the real magic here. The standard dampers have been replaced by specially designed DampTronic Valve Technology damper units, which allow the damper rates to be monitored a staggering 500 times per second.
