CAR Magazine's first look at the new Range Rover Sport SV with pics, specs and details
– and include several world firsts, all aimed at giving this SUV a frankly insane breadth of ability.
More eye-catching is the sheer volume of carbon-fibre on show. The bonnet’s entirely carbon, though it’s exposed only on the upper air intakes. There’s carbon all round the bodykit, and slightly aftermarket-looking carbon badges. These are all available in either glossy or satin finish. The rear track’s widened for a bit of extra stance and to accommodate massive, 305-section rear tyres – which, while they may be Pilot Sport all-seasons, Land Rover say offer more grip than the previous SVR’s summer tyres.That’s even more extensive. The powertrain isn’t really the big deal here, though. Sure, it’s a 4.4-litre V8, but being twin-turbocharged rather than super does feel rather less special.
But debuted on this car is a new system called 6D dynamics – essentially, hydraulically interlinked dampers that do away with the need for anti-roll bars and also provide pitch control. The old car had a tendency to squat under acceleration and nosedive under braking, but SVO reckons they’ve got this nixed.
You’ll also find illuminated gearshift paddles that light up red in SV mode, and a ceramic gear selector.
