Default 2008 LSE Design 2-door Range Rover Sport Coupe.









Nov 20, 2007, 8:52 am

We've just discovered this gorgeous 2-door Range Rover Sport that is coachbuilt by LSE Design UK, possibly in conjunction with Land Rover as it's fully covered under a three year warranty and the work can be done by your local dealer, according to LSE Design's website. Nothing official has been released regarding this vehicle yet and word from LSE Design UK to one of RangeRovers.net bulletin board members suggested this car is meant to be kept a secret for now. LSE Design did specify that they're planning a limited run of only about 100 vehicles with huge performance enhancements to the supercharged petrol V8 and diesel TDV8.

According to the official TheSportCoupe.com website, over 1,000 exterior paint colors will be offered. A performance body package has been added as well as special wheels, side vents, stylish running boards and a wire mesh grille. You'll also notice the entire roof is almost identical to the Range Stormer Concept with stylish aluminum structural cross members showing through an all glass roof. We're wondering if this could be a precursor to an official 2-door Range Rover Sport variant somewhere down the line.

Looks sweet, always loved the Range but not to sure a coupe is really practical. It still gets cool points

Wow, what wheels are those they look great. The SUV looks good but its a little on the pricey side.

Range Rovers are nothing but Image vehicles, can't see them being practical for anything, it does nothing except look extremely cool

The front looks nice, but do something about the rear window.

The wheel turns full circle - when the Range Rover first came out in the 70s it was a 2dr (and you could hose out the interior, I'd like to see you do that now!).

Ranger Rovers are cool until you take them to the repair shop. I like these vehicles and their designs are good for something that would otherwise be acomplete box, very rugged, but everyone down here who I know has one has had WAY more issues than their previous vehicles.

This particular Range Rover kind of strikes me as their design and performance answer to a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8.

Cool idea, fashion statement more than anything.
