The fastest, most powerful Range Rover ever made, the SVR, made its global debut at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
The Range Rover Sport SVR accelerates from 0-100kmph in just 4.7 seconds, reaches a top speed electronically limited to 260kmph and boasts a Nürburgring Nordschleife lap time of eight minutes 14 seconds.
The SVR’s range-topping 5.0-litre super-charged V8 engine has been developed to produce 550PS and 680Nm – substantial 40PS and 56Nm increases – without compromising fuel economy. And its new 8-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel-drive chassis have been optimised to complement its performance.
In a world first for Land Rover, the Range Rover Sport SVR is equipped with a two-stage active exhaust featuring electronically controlled valves. The system optimises sound quality, performance and aesthetics and provides a racecar-inspired soundtrack at higher engine revs without adversely affecting refinement during ‘steady-state’ driving.
Exterior design enhancements ensure the SVR makes a striking visual impact, while simultaneously boosting cooling and aerodynamic efficiencies, its makers say.
SVR is fitted with permanent four-wheel drive and a two-speed transfer case, with a low-range option for demanding terrain, and a 50/50 per cent torque split front-to-rear. The upgraded air suspension system automatically varies between two ride heights, and the next generation ground-breaking Terrain Response 2 system automatically selects the most suitable terrain programme.
Jaguar Land Rover hasn’t yet released a price.
