To celebrate Range Rover's 40th anniversary, Swiss tuner Mansory has a new program for the Range Rover Sport.

Mansory begins things with a modest boost in power for all engine variants, both diesels and petrols, on the Sport - up to 30 PS (22 kW) and 40 Nm of torque. Power is uprated by means of a new sport air filter, ECU-optimization and a new sport exhaust system.

Then Mansory adds the more impressive aerodynamic kit made of PU-RIM plastic components. The front face of the Range Rover Sport includes a new front spoiler with vertical LED daytimers and large air intakes. There's a new bonnet using the carbon prepreg method with a large power dome on it to channel more cool air to the engine too.

The new wings and side skirts also widen the SUV by 60 mm at the front and 80 mm at the back. For the rear is a new apron and diffuser with a carbon insert and a carbon fiber rear roof spoiler. The D-pillars can also be fitted with carbon applications.

Mansory provides an air suspension module that can lower the Range Rover Sport up to 30 mm and fits it with 23-inch light-metal wheels wrapped in 315/25/R23 high-performance tires.

For the cabin is a new sports steering wheel, aluminum pedals and a leather finish that can be mated to a choice of either wood touches or carbon fittings. To top things off, carbon-embroidered MANSORY Switzerland badges adorn the seats and floor mats.
