I drove into the new year in a 2015 Range Rover Sport Supercharged V8 Autobiography Dynamic Edition PHFT.

It was more of an aggressive assault than drive, because look at the specs on this thing:

V8 Supercharged 5.0 L
510 hp and 461 lb-ft.
0 – 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds
Starting at $104,990

Now this is the proper way to kick off a new year.

Every feature you could want and then some – heated windshield; a massive moonroof; automatic high beams; the hazard button initiates on its own under extreme braking; all seats are heated and cooled; all riding on 21″ wheels.

There’s even… a cooler in the centre console. Really.

The power-to-weight ratio of this thing is ridiculous, that a machine this heavy could move this quickly and nimbly.

So all week long this was me – grrrrrRRRRR stomp brakes.

The interior materials and finishings inside are as good as it gets.

Like, look how the screen is seated into the leather dash.

My favourite feature though, was the impression this vehicle makes. More here.

So. Into. It.
