RANGE ROVER SPORT........

http://robson.m3rlin.org/cars/range-rover-sport-arden/

The top-level Sport is powered by a supercharged 390 PS (287 kW/410 hp) 4.2 L AJ-V8, making it the second most powerful vehicle in the company’s history except for the larger Range Rover Vogue SE supercharged (450BHP, 420lb/ft). A normally-aspirated 4.4 L version is available with 300 PS (220 kW/295 hp). The TDV6 turbodiesel engine of 190 horsepower is available outside the North American market. All models have six-speed automatic transmissions and fuel capacities of about 88 liters. The vehicles are 4.788 meters long, 2.170 meters wide (including the side mirrors), and about 1.8 tall. The Premier Automotive Group claims the Range Rover Sport can wade 70 cm/27.6 in. of water.
The Range Rover Sport made the Premier Automotive Group the target of a protest by Greenpeace in 2005. The protesters infiltrated an assembly facility and temporarily delayed production of the vehicle. Greenpeace quoted issue with contributions to greenhouse gas emissions, and by extension, global warming, that would result from the vehicle’s (relatively inefficient) combustion of hydrocarbons. A test performed in late 2005 using a Range Rover Sport with only 1 gallon of fuel in the tank resulted in the car covering barely 8 miles (roughly 30L/100km) before running out of gas and spluttering to a halt. The EPA estimates for the car are 14 city/19 highway, and a combined total of 16 mpg. (Although it must be noted that this test was carried out on the Supercharged version of the car, and was conducted on a racing track. Under these circumstances, the cars MPG would have been lower than it would have normally achieved when in use on normal roads.)
