2014 Range Rover Sport: Fastest-ever Land Rover In Australia This Year

The numbers matter. Earlier this month it was Rolls-Royce with the fastest-ever 'Rolls' in the new Wraith Coupe, and now compatriot Land Rover is playing a similar card.

Revealed in New York today on the back of a month's worth of leaked images, the new Range Rover Sport is a significantly lighter, more powerful, and much quicker beast than its predecessor. 

Where to begin? Let's look at weight. Thanks to the new Range Rover Sport's all-aluminium architecture, Land Rover has achieved savings of up to 420kg. 

That's like throwing three fat, six-foot motoring journos out of the back row. (All of TMR's writers are grain-fed, by the way - Ed.)
