    Why is it slower than the Cayenne S when this RR Sport has more hp, more torque and I am assuming less weight?

    130mph top speed electronically limited, hm... maybe this car will flip over at 131mph...

    Its an aerodynamic barn door with unquestionable off road prowess.

    The current version is not that much different than the Cayenne for off-road use. Better, yes, but not dramatically better. Like the Cayenne, the current Range Rover has four wheel independent suspension, which significantly limits axle articulation for off-road use, but it does make for better on-road performance.

    Around these parts , the women who make up 90% of the Range Rover's driver's will probably never exceed 50 mph on the way to the daughter's horseback riding lessons in Portola Valley or to Neiman Marcus at the Stanford Shopping Center . They will be the first to " upgrade " to the new supercharged one, you can bet .
    A 6000 lb truckster probably needs half a county to stop in a panic from 160 mph.
