My father has a Range Rover Sport...

I have to say, the way it drives is VERY disappointing. It always feels heavy, it doesnt handle all that well, and just lacks alot of the driving precision of an X5 or Cayenne. Not only does it not handle well, but the ride quality is rather jarring and rough, not well composed. I will say, it is by far the hottest looking SUV out there, but the driving experience is not worthy of a "Sport" badge by any means. He had an X5 3.0 before it (previous generation) and even with the large power difference between the 3.0 and the RRS, the 3.0 felt quicker and more nimble.

Back on topic, look at that vented diff cover on this test mule... something mightly powerful must be under the hood to warrant such a thing.
