Australia has received a bold new kit for its Range Rover Sport fans. Called the Stormer Kit, its look was inspired by the 2004 Range Stormer Concept car which essentially gave birth to the Range Rover Sport range. Stormer kitted examples were first shown at the London International Boat Show two months ago.

Buyers are expected to benefit from styling that is more aggressive than their current vehicles. The look is made of a Stormer front end, honeycomb front grille, 20-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels, body-coloured side cladding, an extended rear spoiler and a rectangular chromed exhaust tips.Three paint finishes are available which are called Santorini Black, Alaska White and Stornoway Grey.

"The Stormer Kit," said Roger Jory, Land Rover Australia General Manager, "enhances the road presence of the Range Rover Sport through its stylish, yet aggressive stance. It ensures a head turning reaction from all who catch a glimpse."

The factory-fitted Australian package will add AU$9,990 to the RRP of a new Range Rover Sport TDV6, TDV8, V8 petrol and Supercharged model. Only a limited number of Stormer kits will be sold down under.
