Not that you can do much to hide the identity of any full-size Range Rover model…especially when it’s entering the brand's facility at the Nürburgring, but Land Rover engineers tried to confuse our spy photographers with a Volvo-like grille on one of their Range Rover Sport prototypes.
Like the current model, the next Range Rover Sport is a more dynamic looking variation of the larger Range Rover SUV.
Aside from being slightly shorter than the Range Rover test cars we've seen up until now, it also sports a more inclined windscreen and a raked roofline, while we also expect some additional changes to the styling of the front and rear ends.
The new Sport model will be based on Land Rover's new aluminium architecture that will shed several hundred pounds over the current version.
The engine range will include an assortment of diesel and gasoline engines, including Jaguar-Land Rover's new 3.0-liter supercharged V6 petrol, a 3.0-liter V6 turbo diesel and a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 for the flagship variant.
The 2014 Range Rover Sport should arrive about a year after its Range Rover SUV sibling in late 2013.

Land Rover are winning on the design front at the moment - hoping this continues with the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. Looks are important in this top of the range segment so fingers crossed .....
There's already a picture, that i sent you, of the car.
Bruno, this is the Range Rover Sport, not the larger Range Rover
I know eheh, but the basic shape of the vehicle will be the same. But you already posted the other news article. RR will not be happy with this huge leak.
Biggest improvement? The lost weight!
Looking tasty! I can't wait for the final reveal. Both the Range Rover & Rover Sport are two of the most handsome SUV's on the market and I don't ever see that changing.
Hey, just a heads up, I believe the picture of the interior you have here is not from the Sport. It's an older picture taken of the L405. You can actually see the same picture in an article you guys did back in February: http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/02/spied-2013-land-rover-range-rover.html
I like the faux Volvo grill. Hahaha
