Exotic Car of the Week: Range Rover Sport SVR

This week’s exotic car is Range Rover Sport SVR.

Range Rover has done it again, this time with a high performing SVR SUV model that zips along at record speeds with little noise or obnoxious presence. With a supercharged V8 that pleasantly hums along the road, at any point, press the magic exhaust button at your disposal, and blast off into the future at a rate you didn’t even know was possible for an SUV.

This Range Rover Sports SVR is the most powerful engine ever put in a production Land Rover to date. Enjoy 575 horsepower and 516lb ft. of torque, all delivered through the ZF eight-speed transmission that responds to paddle inputs with lighting speeds. Explore the adjustable exhaust feature as you take this SUV to new places and terrains, providing you with a totally customizable experience from start to finish.

Background

Sporting a carbon-filled hood with a customizable center section that is left blank until the driver selects the color they want, it’s safe to say the Range Rover Sport SVR was made to be custom tailored.

There’s no way you can mistake the interior for anything but a classic Range Rover, redefining what it means to make a classy vehicle. Feast your eyes on stylish appointments, quality materials like Windsor leather, and a premium touch-system that enables you to switch between modes and settings effortlessly. Look around at the high resolution screens, with a gauge cluster that is now fully digital.


Don’t forget about the Land Rover’s Touch Pro Duo two-screen infotainment system that takes up the center console. Equipped with a 22-speaker surround sound program, the 1,700-watt Meridian stereo system is in its own class.

Features

For an SUV that weighs 5,400 pounds, it’s pretty impressive to consider that the Range Rover Sport SVR can go from 0 to 60 in just 4.3 seconds. Heading to its top speed of 176mph, that number was virtually impossible to achieve for an SUV not even 7-years ago.
