Range Rover Sport
The 2008 Range Rover Supercharged is a
gorgeous SUV.
The timeless design evokes memories of the earlier generation models, while at
the same time bringing a wholly modern, contemporary flair. The Range Rover look
is enhanced by some special badging and expensive-looking diamond mesh chrome
grille and power vent inserts over 19" wheels. Out back, a chrome exhaust
tip and clear lenses over the rear taillight cluster distinguish the
Supercharged from the pedestrian Range Rover. The whole package is elegant,
classy and reeks of quality. It looks like having a whole lot of money.
A paragraph is scarcely enough space to scratch the surface of Range Rover's
sophisticated air suspension, which is accessible through a knob on the center
console. You can match your suspension settings to road and off-road conditions.
A supercharger is a mechanical pump that sends compressed air into the engine.
More air equals more power, it's a simple equation. A supercharger is different
than a turbocharger. A turbocharger uses exhaust gasses to drive a turbine; the
supercharger is driven by a belt that's attached to the engine. Superchargers
are better at delivering low end power on demand - just what you need to get a
big SUV up and moving. And the Range Rover Supercharged moves. Range Rover's
supercharged 4.2 liter V8 is rated to produce 400 hp and 420 lb ft of torque.
The 5842 lb SUV can scoot from 0 - 60 mph in 7.1 seconds.
