Startech Range Rover Sport unveiled at Essen, features styling & performance upgrades

Putting the sport into Range Rover Sport

Following a preview earlier this year, Startech has introduced their Range Rover Sport at the Essen Motor Show.

Designed to enhance the model's sporting appeal, the crossover has been equipped with a new front bumper that has larger air intakes and integrated LED daytime running lights. Moving further back, there's a rear diffuser, a stainless-steel sports exhaust system and 22-inch alloy wheels. Last but not least, the model can be equipped a suspension lowering module that reduces the ride height by approximately 25mm.

To spruce up the cabin, Startech offers premium leather and Alcantara upholstery as well as carbon fiber and exotic wood trim.

Under the hood, the 3.0-liter SDV6 turbodiesel engine can be equipped with an SD30 S tuning kit which enables it to produce 323 HP (237 kW) and 680 Nm (501 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 31 HP (22 kW) and 80 Nm (59 lb-ft). The extra oomph allows the model to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds before hitting a top speed of 222 km/h (138 mph).
