In Solihul, England, the Jaguar Land Rover techs have been working on completely new Range Rovers for quite some time. There will not only be a new full-size Range Rover, but also a more dynamically set Sport variant. This latest set of spy photos of the new Range Rover Sport SVR proves that you don’t have to explain to the English how to turn a relatively ungainly colossus into an SUV that you can bullish around the corner with comfortably screeching tires.
At a time when one manufacturer after another says it will focus entirely on fully electric models, the upcoming new Range Rover Sport SVR is of course a cool model. The current Range Rover Sport SVR has an eight-cylinder boosted up to 575 hp, a copy with no less than five liters and a powerful supercharger to push the almost 2,400 kilo SUV to 100 km / h as quickly as a Ferrari 360 Modena . However superfluous such a model may be today, Jaguar Land Rover proves that it still has its humor under control by casually coming up with an SVR version of the new Range Rover Sport.
Land Rover Range Rover Sport
What the new top version of the Range Rover Sport will power is not yet officially known. There are rumors that Land Rover may pull an eight-cylinder from BMW’s warehouse for the new Range Rover Sport SVR, an eight-cylinder that does not have a supercharger but does have two turbos screwed onto it. Count on a power of at least about 600 hp. Add to that the fact that the new Range Rover will probably also lose some kilos thanks to a new base and it is clear that the new SVR will be even crazier than the current model. Like the new Range Rover, the third-generation Range Rover Sport is based on Jaguar Land Rover’s MLA (Modular Longitudinal Architecture) platform. Although that base was initially also intended for an electric SUV from Range Rover and for the electric XJ, the fully electric models on an MLA basis have been fired. There are, however, plug-in hybrid flavors in the barrel. We expect to see more of Land Rover’s new Range Rover and Range Rover Sport (SVR) next year.
