As Land Rover has mentioned a few times recently, it has spent the last
several months working on a range-topping, really-bloody fast version of
the Range Rover Sport. This is it. It's called the Range Rover SVR, and
it's the fastest production Land Rover... in the world.
How fast? 542bhp, 681Nm and 261kph fast, that's how. And such is the fashion these days, LR has thrown this two-tonne megabomb around the Nürburgring, thus giving James May a mild aneurism.
This SVR pumped around the Green Hell in eight minutes and 14 seconds, making it faster than - if you believe in such fairytale times at the ‘Ring - the Lexus IS-F, original Honda NSX and as quick as a Merc C63 AMG.
Underneath sits Jaguar's lovely 5.0-litre all-aluminium supercharged V8 pinched from the F-Type R, offering up 40bhp more than the previous range-topping RRS V8. Then there's uprated suspension and firmer bushings, and recalibrated torque vectoring.
All that power reaches all four wheels through a ZF eight-speed automatic gearbox with shift times reduced by a whopping 50 per cent (and throttle blipping on downshifts). Noise comes courtesy of a two-stage active exhaust, to give a ‘racecar-inspired' soundtrack at higher revs without, we're told, compromising refinement.
Elsewhere you'll notice the new front bumper, a new aluminium wing panel, lots of SVR badging, a spoiler, quad exhaust pipes and 22-inch alloy wheels. Brakes come courtesy of Brembo with six-pistons,
