An SDV6 with 292bhp will also be available – as well as a fuel-guzzling, 510bhp supercharged V8 petrol.

More importantly, the latest Sport is up to 420kg lighter than the old model. Using weight-saving techniques already employed in the full-size Range Rover, it makes the new Sport nimbler and more agile on the road.

The Sport will make it’s UK debut at the Royal Windsor Horse Show from May 8-12.
