2018 Range Rover Sport SVR
The new flagship Range Rover Sport SVR puts enhanced focus on the performance of the most dynamic model in the Range Rover family, engineered to complement the core range using all the knowledge and expertise of the Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) division.
Under the hood, the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine is the most powerful in the brand’s history, now producing 575hp and generating an impressive 516-lb. ft. of torque. That’s an increase of 25hp and enough to power the Range Rover Sport SVR from 0-60mph in 4.3 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds) on its way to an electronically controlled top speed of 176mph.
Coupled with enhancements to the chassis, the new Range Rover Sport SVR delivers more dynamic handling without compromising its traditional comfort. The engineers at SVO focused on controlling pitch under heavy acceleration and braking, and changes to the damping hardware have improved turn-in, mid-corner grip and body control.
In addition to the enhanced driving experience, SVO has provided new visual cues to the model’s performance potential. The hood is a unique carbon fiber composite design for the first time, with integrated cooling vents that transform the front aspect of the vehicle, while its lightweight construction delivers genuine dynamic benefits by reducing weight over the front axle.
Customers can also choose an exterior Carbon Fiber Package that leaves the central section of the new hood’s carbon fiber weave exposed, creating an arresting high-performance aesthetic. Prominent new detailing on the front grille also catches the eye, while the side fender vents are finished in Gloss Black.
