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.
