Land Rover today unveiled the the Range Rover Sport HST. The new HST will be based on the Supercharged specification with the additional equipment including: electric sunroof, an electronic active locking rear differential and privacy glass. The interior is distinguished by a unique hand polished lined oak trim. The exterior design is the work of the same Land Rover team that created the original Range Stormer. It includes new flush-fitting front and rear bumpers and a new larger open-mouth grille. The front lower air intake is deeper and new front fog lamps are mounted in the spoiler. The lower doors and lower rear boot are body-coloured, making the body sides appear deeper, accentuating the vehicles road-hugging qualities. A new tail spoiler is also fitted, and the special rectangular tail-pipes are close to those used on the original Range Stormer concept vehicle. Further visual impact is provided by the 20 inch ‘Stormer’ alloy wheels, chromed aluminium side vents and body-coloured door mirror cappings, unique to this derivative. So far, only U.K. pricing of £63,000 has been announced.

^I like it too, I'm just stuggling to understand what this model is for. All it adds are features that you could pay extra for on the normal Sport.

Pissing Gordon Brown off is always a good thing, even if it does result in more taxes.

why waste more money making it heavier?

Never really even liked the first Sport.... I've always thought a regular Range with the Sport engine would be a perfect package

Great, make it heavier. The thing's already the slowest in the segment; why not make it worse, and charge more for it? There's the British marketing talent at work...

It's a body kit, that screams look at me, like driving a dressed up LR3 in the first place wasn't good enough
