Land Rover Range Rover Sport
A lower, faster Range Rover for the road.
The story
Land Rover aimed the Sport at buyers of the BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne. It was smaller and cheaper than the full Range Rover and tuned for tarmac, yet it still had proper off-road hardware. It quickly became the company's most profitable car.
