The 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is unchanged from last year. Available in two models, the HSE and Supercharged, both are powered by V8 engines: a 4.4-liter, V8 that makes 300-horsepower, and a 4.2-liter, supercharged V8 which develops 390-horsepower.

The muscular style that defines the Sport is evident in the strong lines of this vehicle's shoulders. And, while the Sport does still have the tell-tale Land Rover clamshell hood as well as the classic floating roof, the Sport defines itself with its unique rear spoiler as well as the cleverly styled wheel arches. Another standard feature in the Sport HSE is the 19-inch alloy wheels. The body of the Range Rover Sport is made of durable aluminum for safety as well as decreased weight. One of the more driver-friendly features of the all-terrain Sport is that it comes standard with heated mirrors. This feature also extends to the rear window.

The Range Rover Sport offers a rich interior complemented by leather seats and a fine oak trim that enhances the interior doors, dash and console; which, by the way, includes a mini-fridge for those individuals who prefer those on-the-go drinks to be nice and cold. The driver will feel like a pilot in the air while driving this vehicle since the instrumentation panel as well as the driver's seat are all positioned in a similar manner. The music lover will be pleased about the premium sound system with Bose technology while others may appreciate a Bluetooth capable, integrated phone system. The Sport Supercharged model also features a high tech navigation system complete with GPS technology as well as a 2 screen entertainment system in the rear. This way, the driver can keep the kids occupied while mapping out the route to the theme park.

Although the 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport looks nice and offers lots of amenities, many individuals do not feel that it is worth the purchase price or the fuel bill. Competitors, like Mercedes, Lexus and BMW are developing luxury SUV's with similar options that are selling for thousands less while also offering the consumer a higher mpg rating.
