The Range Rover Sport: A revolution in the world of luxury SUVs
Launched in 2005 based on the Discovery 3, the Range Rover Sport marked a decisive milestone in Land Rover's history. Designed to meet a growing demand for vehicles that combined luxury, performance, and off-road capability, this model filled a gap between the Discovery and the traditional Range Rover. Its more compact silhouette and sportier lines reflected a new approach to design at the British manufacturer.
Technically, the first-generation Range Rover Sport stood out for its powerful engines, notably the supercharged 4.2-liter V8 developing 400 horsepower, and innovations such as the Terrain Response system, which automatically adapts the vehicle's handling to the type of terrain. This exceptional versatility between on and off-road made the Sport a unique vehicle on the market, capable of road performance worthy of a sports saloon while retaining the brand's legendary off-road capabilities.
It was an immediate commercial success, with sales exceeding all expectations from the moment it was launched. The Range Rover Sport achieved the bold feat of rejuvenating Land Rover's image while preserving its off-road heritage, paving the way for a new generation of premium sports SUVs.
Land Rover: British off-road excellence
In 2004, Land Rover was undergoing a period of major transformation under the leadership of Ford, which had acquired the brand in 2000. This period marked a strategic turning point for the Solihull-based manufacturer, which sought to modernize its image while preserving its off-road DNA. The development of the Range Rover Sport was part of this approach of diversification and upmarket development.
Founded in 1948 with the launch of the first Land Rover Series I, the British brand had built a worldwide reputation for off-road vehicles. From the most extreme expeditions to royal residences, Land Rover had conquered all terrains and all social classes. The Range Rover, launched in 1970, revolutionized the concept of the luxury off-road vehicle , literally creating a new automotive segment.
The arrival of the Sport in 2005 demonstrated Land Rover's constant innovation, proving that the brand knew how to move with the times while retaining its core values of excellence, robustness and British refinement.
A star of the big screen
The Range Rover Sport quickly became one of the most sought-after vehicles for the film industry and celebrities. Upon its release, it made numerous appearances in action films and television series, becoming a symbol of success and modernity. Its distinctive silhouette and impressive performance made it the ideal choice for the contemporary hero's vehicle.
A particularly striking anecdote concerns the altitude record set by a Range Rover Sport in 2013, reaching 5,200 meters on the slopes of the Ojos del Salado volcano in Chile. This technical feat spectacularly demonstrated the vehicle's exceptional capabilities, well beyond the beaten track of everyday urban life.
The red model, like the one reproduced in this model car, was particularly appreciated for its strong character and its visibility . This color, called "Rimini Red" in the Land Rover range, perfectly symbolized the sporting spirit and modernity of the vehicle, contrasting with the more conservative colors traditionally associated with classic Range Rovers.
In the world of motorsport, the Range Rover Sport has also distinguished itself in spectacular challenges , notably climbing the steps of Heaven's Gate in China in 2018, a feat that made an impression and reinforced the model's performance image.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?

Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
