Designers have also continued the classic Range Rover Sport two-bar theme, reflected in the twin strakes on the fender vents, the two bar front grille, and the twin lines in the tail lamp graphics. Near-flush side glazing, combined with a premium gloss black finish to the pillars, enhance the bold Range Rover Sport floating roof graphic - which can be highlighted with three contrast roof colours of grey, black or silver - while also emphasising the more streamlined form of the body. Brembo brake calipers finished in red and a Black Pack, which removes all brightwork from the exterior, are also available to create a more bespoke appearance.

At the front, the large outboard air intakes and bold trapezoidal shapes housing the central bumper beam and skid plate send out a strong, high performance message. The same trapezoidal theme is repeated at the rear, with the skid plate flanked by large twin exhaust outlets.
The front lamps continue the bold evolution of the Sport, with highly distinctive LED signature graphics which feature a new distinctive graphic. The slimmer design creates a more aggressive, technical appearance.
At the rear, the lamps have a more compact treatment with a striking new design that uses LED technology. The main tail and stop lamps echo the headlamps' distinctive design language, while the direction indicators use a new interpretation of the 'twin line' graphic from the current model.
Both front and rear lamps flow round into the shoulders of the body with the distinctive tapering blade graphic featured on the other vehicles in the latest Range Rover portfolio.

The new suspension system of 2014 Land Rover Range rover Sport with delivers class-leading wheel travel - with 260mm of movement at the front and 272mm at the rear, compared to less than 200mm for most competitor vehicles - providing exceptional wheel articulation and composure to deal with the toughest conditions. More powerful models are equipped with a dedicated Dynamic modein the Terrain Response® 2 system, providing a more sporting bias during enthusiastic on-road driving, with a firmer ride, tighter body control, reduced roll and more responsive steering and performance.

For the first time on Range Rover Sport on 2014 Land Rover Range rover Sport, high series models feature the state-of-the-art 12.3-inch high-resolution display technology for the main instrument pack, as pioneered by the Range Rover. This is accompanied by an 8-inch high-resolution touchscreen display on the centre console for infotainment and secondary functions, with optional Dual View. The screen graphics on both displays have been ingeniously designed to create the impression of 3D surfaces, beautifully lit and with subtle chrome detailing. Each display is able to adapt its content according to the driving situation - for example, in Dynamic mode, the two primary dials in the 12.3-inch display adopt a sporting red colour scheme, with the current gear position presented prominently between the two dials. The Hybrid model will have its own unique display content, with an easy-to-understand power gauge.

The dramatic weight reduction was achieved through an incredibly rigorous development and optimisation process in which every possible weight saving opportunity was aggressively pursued. Key weight-saving technologies in the vehicle include:

All-aluminium door construction, including high performance lightweight aluminium side intrusion beams
All-new lightweight front and rear suspension design with all-aluminium front and rear subframes
Optimised spring, damper and anti-roll bar designs
All-new lightweight aluminium final drive units and optimised driveline components including new single-speed 4WD system with Torsen differential
High precision lightweight magnesium castings used for the cross car beam and front end carrier
SMC plastic tailgate
Lightweight high-strength steel seat structures

Special aerodynamic innovations optimised during development were:

Active vanes - the new Sport features active vanes in the main upper grille aperture, which improve aerodynamics by blanking off the grille when cooling airflow is not required. Electronically controlled, they automatically adjust to one of 16 positions. Standard on TDV6, SDV6, SDV8 and Hybrid models (Europe region).
Aerodynamic underfloor panelling - more extensive lightweight panelling has been incorporated to create a smooth, flat profile under the vehicle. Additional deflectors have been added around the front and rear suspension components, with front and rear undertrays around the main driveline components.
Enhanced air flow - detail features to improve air flow include near-flush glazing on the A-pillars and vehicle side glass; separation edges incorporated in the rear lamps and D-pillars; optimised shaping of the door mirrors and upper rear spoiler.
Unique 21-inch alloy wheels - on the Hybrid vehicle with directional spokes for optimised aerodynamics.
Careful attention has also been given to water management on the vehicle, including a hydrophobic coating on the front side door glass to help keep it clear of droplets, carefully shaped roof panels to avoid unwanted drips when the tailgate is opened, and a rear wash wipe which is designed to avoid annoying drips.

The 510PS 5.0-litre V8 supercharged engine retains its place at the performance pinnacle of the Range Rover Sport line-up. With huge reserves of power and torque, the scale of the performance on offer is reflected in the 0-60mph time of sub-5.0 seconds (0.9 seconds faster than the outgoing model) - achieved with a rich sporting soundtrack generated by a carefully tuned exhaust system and sound symposer on the intake system. Despite the performance boost, fuel efficiency has been improved by 14 percent over the outgoing model, with CO2 emissions of 298g/km. For the first time, the engine is fitted with an advanced intelligent Stop/Start system.

The new 2014 Land Rover Range rover Sport is packed with smart, relevant technologies to ensure that drivers enjoy a relaxed and stress-free experience behind the wheel. The new model introduces an innovative digital camera system which supports three driver assistance features that help deliver improved driver awareness. Mounted next to the rear view mirror, the forward facing camera captures a view of the road ahead which is analysed by a sophisticated on-board computer. The new feature is enabled by the addition of extra distance sensors on the vehicle (now 6 sensors front and rear, instead of 4), which provide wider coverage around the vehicle than conventional park distance sensors.

The new Range Rover Sport's electric power-assisted steering also enables customers to benefit from a range of advanced Park Assist features, including:

Park Assist - which helps to identify a suitable parallel parking space, and then automatically steers the vehicle into place
Park Exit - which helps drivers exit tight parallel parking spaces, by automatically steering the vehicle back into the main carriageway
Perpendicular Park - which extends the function of the system to help the driver to reverse into perpendicular spaces, using sensors to help identify a suitable space where the vehicle can be parked and the doors on each side opened safely
Each of the functions provides the driver with clear instructions via the cluster display, and uses the Park Distance Controls, Flank Guard and Camera systems (where fitted) to help warn the driver of objects in close proximity during the manoeuvre. Multiple shuttles back and forward may be required to complete the manoeuvres safely and accurately.

The new 2014 Land Rover Range rover Sport offers a number of advanced new Land Rover customer support features, with a range of valuable services to enhance safety, convenience and security. The features, which utilise a telematics module and mobile SIM chip, plus the vehicle's GPS locator, include:

Emergency Call - provides the ability to notify emergency services either automatically, in the event of a crash, or manually via an in-car button, with the current location to ensure an appropriate response. A trained operator will call through to the vehicle while emergency services are dispatched.
Land Rover Assist Call - in the event of a breakdown, an in-car button is provided to contact a trained Land Rover Assist operator, automatically providing the current location to ensure the optimal response time.
InControl App - provides a solution for Apple or Android smartphones enabling customers to locate their vehicle (and get directions back to their car), check fuel level and range, and see any alerts (e.g. Washer Fluid Low). Customers can also log all their journeys and have them automatically e-mailed to them, to enable company expenses to be completed. The App also allows customers to locate their preferred or nearest dealer, manage theft alerts or contact Land Rover Assist (if they are no longer with their vehicle).
Stolen Vehicle Tracking - in the event of a suspected break-in to their vehicle, customers will automatically receive a notification. If the vehicle has been stolen, customers confirm this with Land Rover's secure operating centre which will coordinate with local enforcement authorities to track, immobilise and recover the vehicle.
Wi-Fi Hotspot - provides a high bandwidth Wi-Fi hotspot so passengers can use the internet on smartphones and tablets from a single data contract. The hotspot uses the antenna on the roof to deliver excellent connectivity.
