Me too! The interiors look a lot better, and the engines sound great too!

SC:

Max Power: 510bhp (375kW) @ 6,500rpm
Max Torque: 461lb-ft (625Nm) @ 2,500rpm
The LR-V8 Supercharged is the supreme expression of the Range Rover Sport, reaching unsurpassed levels of performance with a power output of 510hp.
The new LR-V8 Supercharged Engine features:
31% more power and 12% more torque than the previous 4.2 liter Supercharged engine
Revised and super-smooth ZF HP 28 six-speed automatic transmission optimized to provide class-leading response
An improved six-speed automatic transmission tuned to maximize performance
CommandShift® for better response and smoother gear changes
"Drive by wire" throttle control and camshaft profile switching
Dual Independent Variable Camshaft Timing system (DIVCT), an industry first
The ability to change gears manually via optional steering wheel-mounted paddleshifts

NA:

Max Power: 375bhp (276kW) @ 6,500rpm
Max Torque: 375ft-lb (510Nm) @ 3,500rpm
This new LR-V8 engine provides major uplifts in power and performance, while also delivering increased refinement. The overall design encompasses class-leading low-friction features using lightweight materials.

25% more power
19% more torque than the previous 4.4 liter engine
13% better acceleration
The new 5.0 Liter LR-V8 engines feature:

510 bhp will really move this beast in a hurry! It looks great too but the front bumper reminds me of a Nissan GTR.

0-100-0 in 15.5s?! Wow! Not that the average buyer would really care, but does anyone have 0-60 and 1/4 mile times for the 2010 RRSSC?

It also kills a Cayenne GTS around the ring.*

YouTube - 2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged at the Nurburgring test track 1 of 2

0-60 is supposed to take ~5.5 seconds.

*Turns out that it beats a GTS MkI (9:01,9 seconds, www.autobild.de/go/x6-cayenne http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?vie...D=0&tID=163039). The GTS MkII laps the ring in 8:40.

That's really cool. I wonder how it will stack up against the X5M? Hopefully Top Gear will do a comparo of the ML63, Cayenne Turbo, RR Sport SC, and X5M. That would be great to watch.

What kit is on the grey one? seems like a HST reserruction of some sort
On the Land Rover website they only show a regular supercharged one with a different grille (two layers)
