[b]2008 Range Rover Sport Super Charged  grin

REASON

Powertrain
This section does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (March 2009)

The range-topping Sport is powered by a supercharged 4.2 litre all-aluminium Jaguar AJ-V8 producing 390 hp (290 kW) and 550 N·m (410 lb·ft), making it the second most powerful vehicle in the company's history, second to the larger Range Rover Vogue Supercharged which produces 400 hp (300 kW). A naturally-aspirated 4.4 litre variant produces 300 hp (220 kW) and 425 N·m (313 lb·ft) and has been adapted by Land Rover with a slightly greater capacity and increased torque. Both petrol engines have been designed with a sump and oil pick-up system to allow for operation at extreme angles. Due to lack of popularity, the naturally-aspirated power plant was omitted from the UK market in 2007. The advanced 2.7 litre turbodiesel TD V6 is an adaptation of the PSA/Ford development and produces 190 hp (140 kW) and 440 N·m (320 lb·ft) in Land Rover guise. It features a compacted graphite iron block and aluminium cylinder head with fast switching piezo crystal injectors. Debuting in both the Sport and Vogue in 2007 was the 3.6 litre twin turbodiesel TDV8. This engine is a further adaptation of the TDV6 but features a 90 degree block (as opposed to a 60 degree layout), twin variable geometry turbochargers and inlet valve deactivation. Following a short appearance in the Jaguar S-Type, the TD V8 is now a Land Rover exclusive engine. All engine variants are mated to an adaptive six-speed ZF automatic transmission with CommandShift which reacts and adapts to varying driving styles. Command Shift gives the driver the freedom to sequentially manipulate gear changes.



[color=#000099]Suspension

The Sport has suspension components similar to a Porsche 911.[1] Cross-linked air suspension, as standard, gives the driver the option of three ride height settings including a standard ride height of 172 mm (6.8 in), an off-road height of 227 mm (8.9 in) and a lowered access mode. There is also an extra height available which is accessed by holding the respective button for when the off-road ride height is not enough. When the vehicle bellies out, its control system will sense weight being lessened on the air springs and the ride height is automatically raised to the suspensions greatest articulation.The cross-link aspect of the suspension system, which debuted on the L322 Range Rover in 2002, results in better off-road performance by electronically operating valves in pneumatic lines which link adjacent air springs. In the event of a wheel on one side being raised when traveling off-road, the pneumatic valves are opened and the adjacent wheel is forced down, simulating the action of a live axle setup.




Terrain Response

Land Rover’s patented Terrain Response system which debuted on the Discovery 3 is fitted as standard on all models. Terrain Response allows the driver to adjust chassis and transmission settings to suit the terrain being traversed. Five settings are available via a rotary knob on the centre console. These include general driving; grass, gravel, snow; mud and ruts; sand; and rock crawl. Suspension ride height, engine management, throttle mapping, transfer case ranges, transmission settings, electronic driving aids (such as electronic traction control (ETC), dynamic stability control (DSC) and hill descent control (HDC)) and electronic e-diffs are all manipulated through the Terrain Response system.[2] All Range Rover Sports are equipped with a standard centre e-diff from Magna Steyr Powertrain which electronically locks and unlocks and apportions torque via means of a multi-plate clutch pack located in the transfer case which also offers ‘shift-on-the-move’ dual-range operation.[3] A rear e-diff is optional on all Range Rover Sport models and is able to lock and unlock instantaneously. An in-dash display is available which, among other things, is linked to Terrain Response and displays important off-road information such as the status of the e-diffs, the angle of the steering and wheel articulation. It is also able to inform the driver of wheels which do not have contact with the ground.[/b][/color]

You are trying to go from a Celica to one of those!
Abi you don win lottery? grin
I can't really recommend any of those cars because they all scream "I've got money to throw away"
Worst that can be done is X5, best is E-class or Audi A6

You want to go green by trading your Audi A4 for Prius?
Are you out of your mind?

Both cars are miles apart from each other.

Re: Car Choice Dilemma by MrCrackles(m): 11:55am On Sep 10, 2009
I defo wont be subscribing to the two Beemer's. . . . .
Re: Car Choice Dilemma by joxiri: 12:10pm On Sep 10, 2009
You have put a pic of a bmw 6.45 which was not originally on the list, I will advise you to go for the 6.45 as you live in london that car is mad and very uncommon i must say that supercharged range is very common with these yuppie mummys in southwest London (Only God know how they afford it ) in fact the range sport is very common anyways
And I sense that cayenne is coming to the end of its reign either theres already a new one with modified lights which am not sure of or there will be a new one soon but the cayenne turbo s is very good too
but I will take the 6.45 all the way its expesive and very beautiful too considering its a bmw
Re: Car Choice Dilemma by joxiri: 12:21pm On Sep 10, 2009
And in addition the 6 series has a better 2nd had value than a range, you can check on autotrader to see for yourself

brashy, why ain't u loving the german machines? would you consider a Q7 instead?
the insurance group is pretty much in consideration as well and so far its seems everyone is just loving the pride of suv's in which in it's own right is pegged at group 20

thanks bro. i actually fell in love with the 6 series coupe after having seen numerous being driven in the city (these are the only cars i pay attention to as they are within my price range. I just close ma eyes when 'em R8, ferrari's, lamb's are roaring past)
