New Range Rover Sport gets Best 4×4 Award from 4×4 Magazine

New Range Rover Sport gets Best 4×4 Award from 4×4 Magazine The all new Range Rover Sport finally gives Land Rover a sporty model that offers what its name says – a sporty 4×4. But it’s not just that the new Range Rover Sport can do the properly sporty on-road bit properly, it’s that it’s able to do so without sacrificing any of the off-road prowess that’s made Land Rover’s name. That’s been demonstrated by the award by 4×4 Magazine of their best overall 4×4 gong for 2014, knocking its full size sibling – the new Range Rover – in to second place.

BMW wins engine of year

By Ben Whitworth Motor Industry 09 May 2007 05:51 BMW’s twin turbo 3.0-litre engine – the mighty 306bhp straight six from the 335i - has taken top honours at the 2007 International Engine of the Year Awards, the engineering equivalent of the Oscars. This is an unprecedented third year in a row that BMW has clinched the title of International Engine of the Year Award – in 2006 it was the M6’s V10 that took the title, and the M5’s V10 claimed gold in 2005. Other winners, judged by the panel of 62 motoring journalists from 30 countries across the globe, included Porsche for its biturbo 3.6-litre flat six (unbelievably, the first time Zuffenhausen has won an IEYA award), Toyota for the Prius’ 1.5-litre hybrid unit, and Volkswagen’s TSI twincharger 1.4-litre unit.
