The 2000 Land Rover Range Rover, or simply the Range Rover, and the Land Rover Discovery Series II are sport utility vehicles that can trace their roots to 1948. Although the original Land Rover ceased production in 1985, the Range Rover and Discovery line were still in production as of 2010. The Land Rover Range Rover and Discovery were originally conceived as utilitarian off-road vehicles, but by the 1990s, they had evolved into luxury vehicles.
Engine
The 2000 Land Rover Range Rover SE Sport Utility model was equipped with a General Motors 4-liter V8 engine with overhead valves and two valves per cylinder. Its bore was 3.7 inches and the stroke was 2.79 inches with a compression ratio of 9.4:1.

The engine generated 188 horsepower and 250 ft.-lbs. of torque. The torque gives the Land Rover its pulling capacity and acceleration. The identical engine also powers the 2000 Land Rover Discovery Series II model. An optional engine is the GM 4.6-liter V8 generating 222 horsepower. The 4.6-liter V8 can achieve zero to 60 mph in 9.5 seconds.
