This prestigious award came after a series of rigorous road tests and off-road challenges set by the Top Gear team. From out-manoeuvring a high-performance military tank on the TV show, to conquering Dubai's ´Big Red´ sand dune, Range Rover Sport triumphed every time. As Top Gear Editor Michael Harvey acknowledged, "the Supercharged 390bhp Range Rover Sport is the only choice for Top Gear magazine's SUV of 2005."
