Land Rover will be unveiling the new Range Rover Sport 'Stormer Edition' at the London International Boat Show this week.

The Stormer Edition is based on the entry-level Range Rover Sport TDV6 'S' featuring Land Rover's 2.7 liter, twin-turbo V6 diesel with 190 hp and 324 lb-ft of torque (440 Nm). But this Range Rover Sport comes with a few added cosmetic goodies to up the luxury quotient on this premium SUV.

On the exterior are new front and rear bumpers which Land Rover describes as "deep sculptured". There are rectangular exhaust pipes too along with body-colored side skirts and tailgate molding that give the vehicle a lowered look (without having to tweak the suspension). It's all rounded out by 20-inch, 10-spoke alloy wheels.

On the inside are leather seats, Park Distance Control (PDC) for both the front and rear and Personal Telephone Integration, all self-explanatory.

The Range Rover Sport Stormer Edition will come in three colors - Santorini Black, Alaska White and Stornoway Grey.

Range Rover will be producing only 300 Stormer Editions. The Stormer goes on sale in the UK in March priced at £43,550 (48,130 euros).
