The 5.0L supercharged V8 engine will not only throw your neck back, but the 8-speed auto transmission and four-wheel drive chassis are designed to take on any weather or demanding road conditions, as we’ve come to expect from the unrivalled SUV. Now equipped with a race car-inspired electronic two-stage exhaust, the new Range Rover Sport SVR rolls on distinct 22-inch alloy wheels and 21-inch with all-season tires for better all-terrain ability.
