A ‘Ring-honed, 550-hp beast—from Land Rover?
But another abbreviation for overall performance has arrived, but this 1 comes from an unexpected location. Land Rover, a brand that usually trumpets the mudslinging and stair-climbing prowess of its SUVs, is introducing a new, Nürburgring-tuned version of its Range Rover Sport referred to as the SVR, which stands for Specific Vehicle Racing. One of the very first merchandise from Jaguar Land Rover’s new Specific Vehicle Operations arm, the SVR will start off at $ 111,400.
The most strong automobile to ever come from Land Rover, the SVR makes 550 horsepower and 502 lb-ft of torque, bumps of 40 horsepower and 41 lb-ft compared with the typical Variety Rover Sport Supercharged. The SVR’s supercharged 5.-liter V-8 gets its additional muscle from a recalibrated ECU, more enhance from the supercharger, and larger intakes for the intercoolers. The EPA fuel-economy ratings are unaffected by the additional horses and stay at 14 mpg city and 19 highway.

An 8-speed automatic is the only transmission selection. Shifts are mentioned to be 50 percent quicker than the standard Range Rover Sport’s, and the transmission delivers rev-matched downshifts. Even if you leave it in drive, it is smart adequate to hold gears while cornering, too. Land Rover claims it will obtain 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, roughly a half-second quicker than it touts for a typical-strength Sport Supercharged. We managed a 4.6-second run to 60 mph in the non-SVR model, so we ought to be capable to hustle the SVR to 60 in about 4.1 seconds. Leading speed is governed at 162 mph. To put that overall performance in perspective, the very first-generation Range Rover hit 60 in 13.2 seconds and topped out at 95 mph.
Here’s yet another number that you may not expect from such a car: 8:14, as in “8 minutes and 14 seconds.” That is the SVR’s reported lap time of the 12.9-mile Nürburgring Nordschleife, which, according to Land Rover, tends to make it the quickest production SUV ever to circle the Green Hell. To obtain such a feat, the SVR provides stiffer rear-subframe bushings and optional summer time tires on 22-inch wheels. The rest of the chassis remains closely connected to the standard Sport Supercharged, but it has been thoroughly recalibrated. The magnetorheological shocks, active roll control, brake-primarily based torque vectoring, air suspension, and restricted-slip differential are all retuned for maximum functionality.
What’s most surprising about the SVR is that Land Rover hasn’t fully eviscerated the SVR’s off-road capacity. A 4-wheel-drive method with a low-range transfer case remains in place to facilitate rock crawling, the center differential remains lockable, all-season tires are common, the adjustable air suspension gives up to 9.3 inches of ground clearance, and wheel travel remains the same as that of the standard version. Even the active roll-control program reverts to the normal Range Rover Sport plan should you make a decision that you’d rather be on trails than on a track. Retaining all of this off-road gear most likely implies an eye-watering 5500-pound curb weight despite the SVR’s aluminum structure.

To make positive the SVR appeals to the eye, it gets a new front-finish therapy with a distinctive bumper that increases airflow to the intercoolers and the 15-inch front brake rotors, which are pinched by 6-piston calipers. A deeper chin spoiler reduces lift and is removable to let the SVR to go off-road. At the tail finish, the SVR gets its personal bumper with 4 exhaust outlets.
These 4 pipes are the terminus of a new, larger-diameter exhaust system that attributes electronically controlled valves that open and close in response to engine load and rpm. Judging by the audio on the video of the SVR at the ’Ring, it sounds just like a Jaguar F-type—not as well surprising contemplating the SVR and the F-variety share their supercharged V-8s. We’ve however to drive the SVR, but judging by what we know so far, it may just steal a few sales away from Porsche and its Cayenne Turbo.
