The Range Rover Sport's performance flagship has arrived as the fastest and most powerful production Range Rover yet, offering supercar performance at 2560kg thanks to a 626bhp 4.4-litre V8.
Called the SV-dropping the 'R' suffix of the previous car - it is the latest project from JLR's Special Vehicles team and is "the most dynamic and technologically advanced" version of the sports SUV yet.
Based on the latestgeneration Range Rover Sport, the new halo SV is one of Land Rover's final new combustion cars. JLR, under its Reimagine transformation plan, will launch a Range Rover EV next year, before the Land Rover Discovery Sport, Range Rover Sport, Evoque and Velar go electric from 2025.
Pushing out 626bhp from a 4.4-litre BMW-sourced engine, which is twin-turbocharged and mildly hybridised, the SV trumps the previous SVR's 542bhp, achieved from a supercharged 5.0-litre V8. With peak torque of 590lb ft (briefly available under launch control conditions), the SV can go from 0-62mph in 3.6sec, and all the way to 180mph. It drives four wheels via an eightspeed automatic gearbox.
There are subtle design changes over the P530 model, including wider front and rear tracks, increased camber, a new front bumper and grille treatment, side skirts, and a rear bumper with four round exhausts said to be more "honest" than the previous SVR's square tailpipes.
