Range Rover Sport SVR delivers devastating pace in
all driving conditions. Merging legendary all-terrain capability with 405kW of
V8 power and advanced traction technology provides Land Rover’s fastest vehicle
with unique real world performance.
Since going on sale in 2015, the Range
Rover Sport SVR has showcased the abilities of Jaguar Land Rover Special
Vehicle Operations. This super-SUV has contributed to more than 285,000
second-generation Range Rover Sports being delivered to customers around the
world since the ranged was launched in 2014. Many buyers will have been
attracted by the 0-100km/h time of only 4.7 seconds.
When the perfect traction offered by clean, dry
asphalt isn’t available, most sports cars immediately suffer from a lack of
grip, stability and performance. But no sports car has the benefit of Land
Rover’s legendary all-terrain know-how.
The intelligent system automatically selects the
appropriate driving mode to suit traction conditions including: General
Driving, Dynamic, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud and Ruts, Sand, and Rock Crawl. The
driver can also use a simple rotary controller on the centre console to choose
a specific mode. On Asphalt, SVR has been timed at 4.7 seconds, on grass; 5.5
seconds, on gravel; 5.3 seconds while on snow; 11.3 seconds.
“The Range Rover Sport SVR is famed for its on-road
performance but this hasn’t been achieved at the expense of customary Land
Rover capability,” said Driver Darren Jones, Stability Applications Leader,
Jaguar Land Rover. “Our Terrain Response 2 technology takes the stress out of
driving in all conditions.”
