It'll fit in the Land Rover line-up between the upcoming new Discovery and the Range Rover itself, and features sportier, more aerodynamic styling. Land Rover had previewed a concept version, named Range Stormer, at the Detroit Motor Show in early January 2004; Land Rover MD Matthew Taylor says that "Range Rover Sport is a modern, striking high-technology vehicle. It is very much conceived to be an on-road, high-performance machine, as well as class-leading off-road like all Land Rovers.

Breadth of ability is one of its many strengths." Design director Geoff Upex adds: "It is possible to apply Land Rover design language to a vehicle of totally different proportions and still make it very obviously a Land Rover. This is what we've done here, and the result is a Land Rover like nothing that has been seen before." These pictures hint that the Range Rover Sport is to go into production very little changed from the concept car, though it'll be a five-door rather than a three-door like the Stormer.
