Driving ‘sporting attitude’

The new Sport SV is being touted as the most powerful and dynamic Range Rover ever.

In addition, its array of performance-enhancing technologies includes the “most advanced” suspension system in its class and a sensory audio system.

The variant takes place at the top of the Sport’s line-up, the marque says, due to its “driving sporting attitude, dynamic ability and assertive presence”.

The SUV’s credentials include an exclusive airflow-enhanced design, which delivers a more assertive and grounded aesthetic, with functional lightweight and technical material choices throughout.

Powered exclusively by a new 467kW and 750Nm 4.4-litre twin-turbo MHEV V8 – 44kW and 50Nm more than the previous generation SVR’s supercharged five-litre, it can be accelerated from 0-100kph in as little as 3.8 seconds and boasts a top speed of 290kph.

Features include the world’s first 23-inch carbon-fibre wheel option on a production car, carbon ceramic brakes as an option for or the first time on a Range Rover, and standard-fit aerodynamic enhancements including a carbon-fibre bonnet.
