Land Rover has yet again came up with another exciting-to-drive model, the Ranger Rover Sport Supercharged. However, as this is a really cool ride to drive, one has to pay big – its costs start roughly at $70,000.

The supercharged in its name is the name for its trim level and it has a lot of great standard features and Land Rover parts. These features include heated front and rear seats, washer jets, center console refrigerator, genuine wood trim, steering-linked headlights, Land Rover tail lights, heated windshield, and many others.

But what really makes it cost that much compared to the normally aspirated version of the Range Rover which is the designated HSE is the Land Rover engine parts under its hood. Its engine is notable as it is a 4.2-liter engine that is capable of 90 more horsepower and 95 more pound-feet of torque than the HSE’s normally aspirated 4.4-liter engine.

Land Rover is saying that the extra horsepower and torque of the Supercharged Range Rover Sport allows it to get from zero to 60 miles per hour a second faster than the HSE. This extra power also makes its top speed 10 miles per hour more to 140mph compared to HSE’s 130mph. From zero to 100 kilometers, the Supercharges is 1.3 seconds faster than the HSE.

With regards to its fuel economy, EPA said that the Range Rover sport Supercharged covers only 12 miles per gallon in the city and 18mpg on the highway, and that is with the use of a premium fuel. The sticker on the land Rover truck is saying that owners will be allotting around $2,999 on annual fuel costs. This estimation is based on 15,000 mileage and $2.80 per gallon of fuel.
