Range Rover Sport HST ..... latest addition to the Range Rover Sport line-up.
Land Rover to debut new Range Rover HST
NEW YORK, March 24, 2015
Land Rover will present the new Range Rover Sport HST at the New York International Auto Show 2015.
The HST enhances the high performance Range Rover Sport driving experience thanks to its uprated 380PS 3.0-litre supercharged V6 petrol engine, unique chassis settings and bespoke design features, said a statement.
David Mitchell, vehicle programme director at Range Rover Sport, said: “The HST extends our Range Rover Sport line-up giving customers even greater choice.”
“Sitting between the existing 340PS Range Rover Sport 3.0-litre V6 supercharged and the 550PS supercharged variant, it delivers enhanced V6 performance to go with Range Rover Sport’s renowned comfort and refinement,” he added.
The new Range Rover Sport HST can be identified by its unique exterior design and interior enhancements, which give the high performance luxury SUV a distinctive and dynamic appearance.
A striking black theme is the hallmark of the exterior design. The HST is fitted with Stealth Pack lamps front and rear, which feature non-reflective surrounds and combine with a Santorini Black contrast roof and a new spoiler.
The HST’s distinctive 21-inch alloy wheels feature an exclusive dark satin grey finish helping to highlight the uprated brakes, which are identified by red brake calipers. Larger 22-inch Stealth alloy wheels are available as optional equipment.
The bonnet and front wing vents, grille and fog lamp bezels all feature a gloss black finish, echoed by the ‘Range Rover’ lettering on the leading edge of the bonnet and rear tailgate. Sculpted body-coloured lower door panels and additional vent detailing on the bumpers are also fitted.
The HST is available with a single-range transmission, and it also features a Dynamic Mode, which optimises the suspension, Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) and other electronic systems to suit on-road driving. This feature provides more controlled electronic damping and a more responsive throttle pedal, while enhancing gearshifts and steering response to match the change in vehicle character.
Inside the HST comes with duo tone seats trimmed in luxurious Oxford Leather. In combination with a contrast fascia, all-Ebony door trims and centre console and standard Ebony headlining. The high quality leather upholstery is available in four Ebony/colour combinations, along with an all-Ebony option.
The Range Rover Sport HST will be available to order from April, and prices will be announced later this year, it added. – TradeArabia News Service
