The Land Rover Range Rover Sport is a jack-of-all-trades and a master of many. It isn't quite as luxurious as the top-of-the-line Range Rover, but it's sportier. It sits lower than that vehicle, so it's not quite as capable off-road, but it can still handle itself well when the pavement ends.
This combination of on-road dynamics and off-road capability made it the perfect choice for Land Rover's latest stunt: A high-speed run on China's Dragon Road, followed by a climb up the steps at the end of that road to the legendary Heaven's Gate rock formation. It was a simple matter of 99 turns, followed by 999 steps taken at a 45-degree angle.
Land Rover tapped Panasonic Jaguar Racing’s Ho-Pin Tung to make the run, and outfitted the Range Rover Sport with reinforced tires to deal with the punishment they would receive on their way up the steps.
