Range Rover Sport sat on Land Rover's T5 platform, first seen on Discovery 3, although six inches shorter to improve agility. Making its debut was the Dynamic Response System, which sensed cornering forces and adjusted the air suspension to optimise body roll and handling.

This is a Pre-production L320 Range Rover Sport with the 4.2 V8 supercharged engine, this was the vehicle that featured in all the launch marketing material and appeared at the US Motor Show launch. Originally a German specification white vehicle, it was upgraded and re-painted specifically for the global launch of the L320.

This Sport was registered on 1 November 2004, six months prior to launch, and the oldest surviving L320 Sport prototype.
