Introducing the Freelander 2 Sport, which goes on sale in the UK in January 2010.
In showrooms early next year, the Freelander 2 Sport will be available with two derivatives and two colours – Santorini Black and Lago Grey. Both will feature exclusive 19" limited edition diamond-turned alloy-wheels, a unique two-tone interior together with a rear spoiler, colour-keyed exterior trim and matching door handles and mirror casings.
There is a standard model available in both Black and Lago Grey with cloth interior and one with a sports styling pack available only in Lago Grey.
A unique two-tone interior is introduced on both derivatives, in contrasting Ebony and Storm. The derivative featuring the sports styling pack will offer a leather interior and the standard version with a cloth/leather interior. The sporty theme continues through the cabin, with an Ebony-coloured centre-console and lower fascia complemented with two-tone door casings.
The Sport emblem is embossed on the front and outer rear seat head restraints, with Storm coloured stitching on all seats and unique Ebony interior carpet mats with contrast piping feature throughout.
The Freelander 2 Sport is available with the powerful and economical 2.2-litre TD4 diesel power unit. The manual diesel comes with Stop/Start technology delivering an 8% improvement on CO2 emissions compared to the previous manual diesel Freelander 2 (from 194g/km to 179g/km) and fuel consumption is reduced (from 37.7 to 42.2mpg – an improvement of 4.5mpg).
John Edwards, managing director, Land Rover UK said: "With its dynamic styling, the Freelander 2 Sport allows you to combine sporting characteristics with all the sustainability and driveability benefits of the intelligent Stop/Start technology."
The Freelander 2 Sport goes on sale in January 2010, priced from £26,695 on-the-road.
Key features:
* A sports-styled Freelander 2 for the 2010 model year

However this release kind of makes me laugh as up until earlier this year you could buy the HST model which was the sporty model with the body kit & Similar 19" shaddow Chrome alloys but I was told by Landrover head office & the dealer they stopped doing it because it was costing too much to ship it to "Special Vehicles" to have the body kit fitted. My reply to that was that presumably they don't want people to buy a sports model lol!!
I have a brand new set of those Shaddow Chrome wheels & tyres at home which are for sale as they are the wheels I wanted but the dealer sold me (before I found the others) a set of the Tripple Sport wheels which I decided to keep as they are rarer.
