I have driven one of these at Eastnor Off road and trust me even with low profiles this car can go anywhere a Discovery 4 can. Just watch the Top Gear test with Richard Hammond. The off road stuff is filmed at Eastnor.

Sport 5.0 V8 Supercharged competition

I fail to see the point of having all the off road features when it rides on low profile street tires. Doesn't even look like there is enough room in the wheel wells for decent A/T tires. Tires are the most essential part of a vehicle being off road capable.
Those tires look like they would spin in a wet lawn LOL.
Do these even come with a low gear anymore?

The new Sport weighs 800lbs less than the last one and offers a 3rd row...plus it looks better (especially in the right colors/trim).
It's also more off-road capable (not that it matters to most owners).
...now includes two off-road height settings: a 1.4-inch lift that can be used at speeds up to 50 mph, and a 2.6-inch lift, which gives the Sport 11.2 inches of ground clearance. The suspension is capable of raising an additional 1.4 inches if on-board sensors determine it's necessary. Approach, departure, and breakover angles have improved to 33.0, 31.0, and 27.0 degrees. Wading depth has improved to 33.5 inches thanks to the new hood-mounted air intakes.

The new Range Rover Sport.. and as the previous was it's the same senseless. Performancely it's not much ahead of the basic Range Rover, but costs more. And it lost its true off-road capabilities...
But what I find positive about this thing - it looks nicer, obviously sportier than the non-Sport version.
