The venerable Disco has been synonymous with off-road adventures since it hit the scene almost thirty years ago, in 1989. The all-new 2017 Discovery we reviewed was released just last year. But Land Rover’s latest machine, the Discovery SVX, unveiled today at the 67th Frankfurt Motor Show, is what the company dubs its ‘most extreme Land Rover yet.’
However you define your extreme lifestyle, we’re pretty sure this 5.0L supercharged V8-powered all-terrain champion, with increased ground clearance, body and suspension lifts, more wheel articulation, and huge all-terrain tires, will handle whatever path you provide it.
The best part? This isn’t a vague concept; the new Land Rover Discovery SVX unveiled today is a production preview of what’s to come. The specially tuned Terrain Response 2 system and Active Roll Control are firsts for new Discovery, and will be the first Land Rover assembled by hand at the SVO Technical Centre.
Interested in buying one? Production of the SVX, assembled by hand the way, will begin production sometime next year out of their SVO Technical Centre.
