1999 Range Rover 4.6 HSE

There will always be a small group of Range Rover owners who want just a bit more than the already extraordinary Range Rover -- more distinction...and more performance.

A Powerful Flagship
For this group of discriminating owners, there is the 1999 Range Rover 4.6 HSE. Just as Range Rover stands as the flagship of Land Rover, the 4.6 HSE stands as the flagship of the Range Rover line. The centerpiece of this vehicle is its 4.6-liter all-alloy V8 engine, now equipped with Bosch electronic engine management.

The Range Rover 4.6 HSE engine is certainly powerful with a maximum output of 222 horsepower. But more importantly, it develops an impressive 300 pound-feet of peak torque for outstanding performance and off-road flexibility. This exceptional pulling power provides strong acceleration in daily traffic situations and exceptional trailer-towing abilities. It is immediately apparent the moment you step on the throttle.

Factory-tested performance figures for the 1999 Range Rover 4.6 HSE are revealing. Initial "step off" acceleration is dramatically improved, with a greater distance traveled in the first four seconds of acceleration compared to last year's 4.6 HSE. Zero to sixty mile-per-hour acceleration times have been cut by more than 10 percent compared to last year's model. This is primarily due to the new engine management system and new intake manifold system which allow the engine to breathe more freely.

Low-profile 55-series tires perfectly match the 4.6 HSE's additional performance capabilities. These dual-purpose tires offer excellent on- and off-road traction and handling response.

The '99 Range Rover 4.6 HSE's appeal is far broader than just a larger engine, however. The vehicle is also equipped with a new 18-inch wheel and tire package that features distinctive five-spoke light-alloy wheels to add a touch more substance to Range Rover's stance.

A Distinctive Palette
Range Rover 4.6 HSE comes in a lustrous palette of seven colors, including classic Blenheim Silver, tasteful White Gold and stunning Java Black. A choice of two leather interiors, Ash Black or Lightstone, perfectly compliments the exterior hues.

The Range Rover 4.6 HSE's unique combination of features and exclusive levels of performance meet the special needs of a most discerning group of Land Rover enthusiasts. With its distinctive exterior and interior appointments, and its powerful yet refined 4.6-liter V8 engine, the 4.6 HSE elevates the Range Rover concept to a new plateau.

Range Rover 4.6 HSE defines the most exclusive level of Range Rover ownership.
