It was the true power and performance of New Range Rover Sport that allowed the team to conquer The Dragon Challenge, making it the world's first vehicle to successfully complete the 99 turns and 999 steps of Tianmen Mountain.

The Land Rover Range Rover Sport, generally known simply as the Range Rover Sport, is a mid-size luxury SUV produced under their Land Rover marque, from the British manufacturer Land Rover, and later Jaguar Land Rover.

Jaguar Racing test driver Ho-Pin Tung drove a Range Rover Sport PHEV up a dizzying 999 steps towards 'Heaven's Gate' in China, becoming the first vehicle to have ever done so. There's good reason why no car has ever attempted such a feat. It's utterly, utterly terrifying.

Land Rover recently pulled off one seriously impressive stunt. Starting with the 7-mile Tianmen Mountain Road, a Range Rover Sport traveled its way to the famous Heaven's Gate landmark in China. That's when the real work started -- the plucky little Range Rover climbed 999 steps at a 45-degree incline.

The Dragon Challenge consists of driving from the bottom of the mountain around 99 sharp turns and up 999 steps, to reach the final destination: Heaven's Gate.

While diesel has traditionally been the best choice in the Range Rover Sport range, the latest Range Rover Sport PHEV makes a case for itself as the best version to buy thanks to its excellent electric range and effortless performance. We think the P440e Dynamic SE is the best choice.

The Land Rover Range Rover has globally been updated for the 2022MY, and the new-gen model of the luxury SUV is expected to arrive in the Indian market some time in 2022. The luxury SUV will likely be offered in five trim levels, namely SE, HSE, Autobiography, First Edition and SV.

We eventually got an answer from the crack team of Land Rover specialists who engineered the stunt. "The RR Sport was reversed slowly down the steps in a controlled way using the safety cables," said the Land Rover spokesperson.
