The Range Rover Sport gets the powerful 334hp SDV8 diesel engine with a new sump, new cast alloy engine mounts and optimized calibration. Mated to the same ZF 8 Speed automatic gearbox, it delivers 700 Nm of torque and helps the Sport accelerate to 100km/h in 6.9 seconds and has a top speed of 225km/h.

The upgraded models will be available to order from September 10, with deliveries starting from early 2014.
