The Range Stormer was a concept car introduced by Land Rover in 2004 that served as a precursor to the Range Rover Sport. It was designed to showcase Land Rover's growing design confidence at a time of great change in the company. It's also the very first concept car of the British marque – something that it had never done in 56 years.
The context of the Range Stormer's introduction was important because, at that point in time, there was only the Range Rover flagship SUV, and the idea of splitting it into a family was radical. The concept car was meant to validate the concept and prepare the world for what that vehicle was, the narrative behind the vehicle, and what it was all about.
