The first generation (codename: L320) started production in 2004, and was replaced by the second generation Sport (codename: L494) in 2013 . </P> <P> The Range Rover Sport was prefigured by the Range Stormer concept car, introduced at the 2004 North American International Auto Show . This was a low - slung, short wheelbase 3 - door coupè that was unusually "sporty" in the context of Land Rover's history . Designed by Richard Woolley, the marque's first complete concept car sported split - folding gullwing doors, one - piece skeletal seats, a "clamshell" hood, 22 inch alloys, a 289 km / h top speed, 4WD and a 2500 kg weight . The Range Rover Sport was comparably of much more conservative design featuring five doors and a wheelbase hardly shorter than that of the Range Rover Vogue . A replica of the Stormer was built by West Coast Customs of Corona, CA for Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, on the occasion of opening West Coast Customs Dubai; the car is currently registered under the Dubai Traffic And Road Authority . </P>
