Debuting at Pebble Beach on August 14, the V8 supercharged, 550-hp SVR (a new designation being adopted by future Land Rover and Jaguar high-performance models) will do 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds, reaching a top speed of 162 mph. Wearing the SVR badge for the first time, the Land Rover will unleash their most potent, fastest model to date with the new Range Rover Sport SVR variant.
The most powerful Range Rover in the lineup at that time
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.
