Week 4 Entry

The Unstoppable Range Rover Sport




2011 Range Rover Sport Supercharged 
The 2011 Range Rover Sport Supercharged is one of the most luxurious SUV’s on the market today, and also has impeccable off-road capability. Although there’s not much new for the 2011 model it still comes equipped with all the bells and whistles from the previous year. Although this vehicle is well suited for urban driving it’s best performance comes through quick acceleration and near perfect off- road skills. The range rover sport offers full time four-wheel drive, all around great city driving, or for the adventurous driver seeking a little more thrill with top notch off road skills.

V8 supercharged engine
            The performance of this supercharged model is astonishing. It comes equipped with a 5.0-litre V8 engine, cranking out 510 horsepower and 461 lb-ft of torque and can tow up to 7,700 pounds. This model is equipped with terrain response and has a dynamic mode option. The terrain response system is what makes this a great off road vehicle. The option offers increased traction in snow, gravel, rocks, sand, grass, and mud as it optimizes powertrain and suspension.

Terrain response and dynamic mode

            
The supercharged model offers many great safety features including front and side airbags, traction and stability control with rollover protection. This model also comes with Brembo breaks; these are known to be the fastest stopping breaks in the automotive industry. The safety feature that really blew me out of the water was the adaptive cruise control. This feature uses radar to sense other cars in front of you while in cruise control, and can slow you down if you come to close to the vehicle in front of you. In emergency cases if the vehicle senses that the vehicle in front stops suddenly it will stop the Range Rover for you. This option makes this vehicle one of the safest SUV’s on the road.



Leather interior 
            The interior comes equipped with leather seats, dashboard and armrests and is accented with your choice of wood.  Almost everything on this vehicle is customizable whether it is red interior or proximity cameras surrounding your new 2011 Range Rover Sport Supercharged, making this one of the top SUV’s on the market. Along with the smooth ride, luxurious interior, and unbeatable off-road capabilities this vehicle comes with a hefty MRSP starting at $80,000 and will run up to $115,000 depending on the options.


What autoweek reviews had to say:

“… Breaking power is substantial, whether clamping down from speed or merely stopping short in boxed-in traffic. Excellent control.” – Bob Gritzinger

 It's a beautiful place to be, with soft leather-wrapped surfaces and comfortable seats.” – Jonathan Wong
