The 2014 Range Rover Sport is one of the sportiest cars Land Rover has built. Its 380kW supercharged five-litre V8 and an aluminium chassis stand a good chance of competing against a sports car.

However, it hasn’t yet reached its full potential - which is why Land Rover could be integrating one of Jaguar’s powerful engines; the 410kW XFR-S, XKR-S and XJS unit. The new RR Sport’s lighter body and the use of Jaguar engines will improve the SUV’s performance.

The current Range Rover Sport's Supercharged version gets from zero-100 km/h in 5.3 seconds. Perhaps 0.3sec could be cut from that when the new model debuts.

The 2013 Model will reach South Africa in November 2013.
