Range Rover Sport SVR - Land Rover's most powerful SUV

The Range Rover Sport SVR is the first “child” developed by the SVO (Special Vehicles Operations) division. This is the pioneering representative of Jaguar Land Rover’s high-performance vehicle lines. And the Range Rover Sport SVR is Land Rover’s most powerful SUV, taking only 4.7 seconds to accelerate from 0-100km/h.

The Range Rover Sport SVR is more powerful with a V8 engine that delivers a maximum capacity of 550 horsepower and new traction technology that helps this car accelerate more impressively in many different driving conditions.

And the Range Rover Sport SVR had its first test at Europe's fastest racetrack, Rockingham Motor Speedway in Corby, UK. In this test, the Range Rover Sport SVR used standard Michelin 275/45 R21 all-season tires and was tested on grass, ice and sand. At the same time, this test also used the feature of Terrain Response technology generation 2.

On standard asphalt, the Range Rover Sport SVR takes just 4.7 seconds to reach 100km/h.

In Dynamic mode, Terrain Response 2 continuously adjusts the throttle settings and gearshifts at high revs. The system also resets the Continual Variable Damping and intervenes in the vehicle's body balance through Anti-Roll Control. With this optimized motion, the Range Rover Sport SVR takes just 4.7 seconds to accelerate from 0-100km/h.

In the second test, the Range Rover Sport SVR SUV was driven on wet grass. The Grass/Gravel/Snow driving mode softens the throttle response to maintain traction and makes gear changes quicker and smoother. In addition, the Traction Control System intervenes to prevent tire slippage. The Range Rover SVR takes 5.5 seconds to reach 100km/h.

2nd generation Terrain Response technology works effectively in poor road conditions.

Next, Arjeplog in northern Sweden was the location chosen by Jaguar Land Rover for the snow and ice test, where the optimized system settings and AWD system helped the Range Rover Sport SVR reach 100km/h in 11.3 seconds.

The next terrain is Mud and Pit, in this terrain, the air suspension is raised and the Traction Control System works effectively to maintain traction. Combined with the AWD drive system, the Range Rover Sport SVR accelerates from 0-100km/h in 6.5 seconds.

The Pendine Sands dunes at Carmarthen Bay in South Wales were chosen by Land Rover for the sand test. Sand mode enables the car to accelerate quickly when pushing the torque up. The transmission gears are also reset to hold the same position for a long time while the centre differential is locked to maintain thrust. The result is a 5.5-second time for the Range Rover Sport SVR to reach 100km/h.

On sand and gravel roads, the Range Rover Sport SVR only takes 5.3 seconds to reach 100km/h.

The Range Rover Sport SVR completed its testing on a rocky terrain. The second-generation Terrain Response technology reduces acceleration response to reduce sudden acceleration impacts, while the air suspension stiffens to help stabilize and reduce body roll. The SVR proved to be quite agile on the rocky terrain with a 32% incline. The quarry is the perfect location for rocky terrain conditions and the Range Rover Sport SVR completed its test in just 5.3 seconds.

This performance result of the Range Rover Sport SVR is the clearest proof of the high-performance SUV of Land Rover. And Since officially going on sale in spring 2015, the Range Rover Sport SVR has sold more than 285,000 cars worldwide.
