I was reading some info that 5.0-litre V8 direct-injection will be available for 2010 range rover sport is it really true? 2007 Range Rover Sport Supercharged, Buckingham Blue, Ivory converted to HST Silver

SOLD-V8 Defender 90

Yes. The 2010 FFRR (and Disco/LR3, probably) will get it too, as replacement for the outgoing, "base" 4.4 petrol. Supercharged FFRR and RRS will also get the blown version of the new 5-liter Jaguar engine. At 500 hp and change, it should definitely put some pepper on 0-60 times of both cars.  

there are claiming that it will be more fuel efficient engine? 5.0L vs. 4.4L how it could be achieved? 2007 Range Rover Sport Supercharged, Buckingham Blue, Ivory converted to HST Silver

Direct injection as Porsche have done in the 997 version 2.

More power, less fuel consumption. Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

I guess supercharged one will be 4.8L and non supercharged will still be the same 5.0L just like 4.4L and 4.2L supercharged just guessing 2007 Range Rover Sport Supercharged, Buckingham Blue, Ivory converted to HST Silver

Sales of XF 5.0l and S/C start next week, or mid March I believe and they are basically the same engines that LR will be using but with with some tweaks to make them suitable for offroad use.
Maybe CHPR will have a demo XFR 5.0l for us to look at when we meet there.............................

Sport - the new engines are coming in September/October 2009 for 2010MY, JLR need to have them to comply with Euro5 emissions/ efficiency regulations - it's also why the 2.7TDv6 is becoming a 3.0l. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
