After the introduction of the updated Discovery 4, Land Rover released details on its 2012 Range Rover Sport that features similar mechanical changes and equipment upgrades for the new model year.

As with the Discover 4, the Range Rover Sport’s more powerful 3.0-liter SDV6 diesel engine receives a 10HP boost lifting output from 245-horses to 256HP and is now mated to Land Rover’s new ZF 8HP70, 8-speed automatic gearbox.

Following the presentation of the three-door model earlier this year, the five-door version of the all-new Range Rover Evoque made its global public debut at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show. Despite the added practicality and -according to Land Rover- slightly more spacious cabin, the 5-door Evoque looks as good as it's three-door sibling.

"The addition of the five-door to the Range Rover Evoque line-up extends the appeal of our brand still further," said Land Rover's Managing Director Phil Popham. "While retaining everything that's great about the Range Rover Evoque coupe, this new five-door bodystyle will offer customers even more choice, greater versatility and flexibility."

The blacked-out Range Rover Sport before you is Hamann's Conqueror II. Much like the original Sport-based Conqueror, the package consists of door decals and a slew of body parts (fender extensions, carbon fiber hood, and "diffuser-look" rear apron, among other tidbits) that widen the Sport's stance and also make it appear to be doing its best GT3 impression when viewed from behind.

In 2006, Ryan Mickle bought a $60,000+ Range Rover Sport mainly due a huge tax write off for heavy SUVs –or at least he says, to use for a short commute and weekly trips with friends. Two years later and having moved back to San Francisco, Ryan decided that he didn’t need a car anymore. But while most people would just put the Range Rover up for sale, “environmentally-conscious” Ryan decided to destroy his Landie so it would permanently stop polluting and using excessive quantities of gasoline. To do so, Ryan launched a website called “OneFewer” where online voters will decide the fate of his car.

Our take? First of all, if he wants to destroy his car, he can do so without opening up a website and making a whole fuss about it – unless he’s seeking for his 15 minutes of fame. There are other ways, less provocative (how long do you have to work to make $60k?) to convince people in becoming more environmentally conscious. If he wants to do something good for the environment he can sell the car and donate the money to a “green” organization or use the cash to make his house more energy-efficient. -Continued

We won’t even touch the subject about the harm he can cause to the environment if by chance the online voters decide to burn the Range Rover or throw it over a cliff into the wild…

They’ve built a world of islands in the sea so we can’t say that we’re surprised with the 2004 Range Rover Stormer Concept replica that was created by the folks over at West Coast Customs Dubai. Story has it that a scion of Dubai royal family liked the concept car so much that he had West Coast Customs transform a Range Rover Sport into the Stormer.

Unfortunately for his Royal Highness, WCC liked the idea so much that they built a few more. Now, one of those replicas has found its way on Autotrader Dubai (…) where it is up for sale. But just like everything else in Dubai, the Stormer replica doesn’t come cheap as it is being sold for a mind blowing 1,650,000 AED or about $450,000. -More pics after the jump
