The head turning Range Rover Sport SVR comes in the beautiful Estoril Blue more performance and more luxury.  This Special Vehicle Operations SVR is said to be the ultimate example of the Range Rover. Under the bonnet we have the jaw dropping Supercharged 5-litre V8 petrol pushing a whopping 542bhp and 680Nm! The SVR is also surprisingly smooth. Unlike some of its turbocharged V8 rivals that deliver their boost in a more aggressive fashion, the SVR is wonderfully linear in its power delivery, and there’s a level of supercharger-driven surge that simply refuses to let up. Then there are the associated aural of fireworks , There’s no better sound than winding up this powerhouse of an engine in the most manic ‘Dynamic’ setting, while moving up and down the gears using those quick-shifting paddles, especially on the downshift. It’s a sound that’s hard to describe , part battle tank and part GT racer, though the result is pure bliss to the ears, like no other SUV before it.

It’s the styling, craftsmanship, comfort and exclusivity that go hand-in-hand with the performance credentials, and frankly, that’s where the SVR starts to pull ahead of the competition. The control and weight balance feels well sorted , despite the driver being acutely aware of the SVR’s substantial weight, but there are no nasty surprises in store if it all goes a bit wrong. The 380mm Brembo brakes are very capable of stopping in seconds which could come in very handy when driving at high speeds or even if there ever happened to be a collision ahead. The 22″ Diamond cut wheels look absolutely magnificent which really do give you a huge amount of grip at all times. The SVR comes with front and rear reversing sensors along with a rear view camera  which do come in very handy when maneuvering in tight spaces.

Inside, it’s all top-notch materials from floor to ceiling, with lashings of the softest white leather along with beautifully lacquered carbon-fibre panels throughout, which add to the bespoke nature of the SVR and replace the standard aluminium trim. The SVRs comforts are plenty, such as the sliding panoramic roof and an 825-watt Meridian audio system with 19 speakers that produces one of the finest sounds ever heard in an SUV. There are also adaptive headlamps with automatic high beam; a surround camera system, heated seats front and back and an eight-inch high-res touchscreen that accommodates all of the infotainment functions. There’s comfortable seating for four adults, with individual-style racing buckets upholstered in premium Oxford leather, though a fifth person can be squeezed in for shorter trips if necessary. Safety is well catered for, too, with side, front-seat, thorax and pelvis airbags for both front seat passengers. Electronic driver aids include Roll Stability Control, Blind Spot Monitoring system, Cornering Brake Control, Hill Decent Control, Electronic Traction Control and a Tyre Pressure Monitoring system.

The SVR has Huge pace and space with 4×4 capability and really is one of the best SUVs out there today , its rich, poised, exciting ,charming and really would make an amazing luxury family car.
