United Kingdom 2013 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Siberian Silver
HST

Just returned a new HST (17miles old )my dealer said try for a couple of days and I must say I was bloody impressed.
I found it really responsive and smooth and plenty of go.
Only things are didn’t like where the suede steering wheel and gear shifter.
If you don’t fancy a 5 litre I recommend the Hst

Very good to hear as I've recently ordered a P400 for delivery in September. Didn't fancy the the HST as I'm not a fan of black wheels, trim, windows etc.

I am genuinely baffled why they only offer this engine in the footballer’s package. Must be about protecting fat profits from the 5.0 because otherwise it makes no business sense whatsoever. Such a shame given the technology involved that only the rarified few of L494 owners will specific it. L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso
RRS TDV6 HSE Lux (MY2011)... Nara Bronze / Arabica - now gone!

ilard,

I assume you mead the 3l petrol engine in the HST. It's now available in HSE and HSE dynamic packages. I don't like the HST bling but in HSE trim looks just the business for me. By the way, HSE now includes high/low range transmission and dynamic handling package, the dynamic is all about visuals, big wheels, black trim etc.

I stand corrected. But then it’s not offered as AB, so I’ll stand firm (albeit on one foot). On the L405, this motor is available across Vogue, VSE and AB. L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso
RRS TDV6 HSE Lux (MY2011)... Nara Bronze / Arabica - now gone!

HST is £8k more than the HSE Dynamic and gets you some carbon fibre stick on bits, some bling, and the drive/park packs. Seems like an expensive "upgrade"... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
