We know high-performance SUV's, like the Mercedes ML 63 AMG.
Or the BMW's X5 and X6 M or the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8.
Now, there's a Range Rover Sport SVR - by JLR's Special Vehicle Operations.
Supercharged V8, 550 PS, 0-100 kph in 4.7 seconds - with 2300 kilogrammes!
Wow. Unreal! You're up high, going so fast. And the sound! Woohoo!
No-one can beat you when you're driving this.
We can name so many cliches referring to its sheer power.
Also, it laps the Nordschleife in 8:14. Unthinkable 10 years ago!
The base car is a standard V8 s/c. The chassis has changed.
21 inch wheels - or 22 as extra. The interior is lovely. It's amazing.
There's alcantara, leather, nice stitching and lots of carbon.
Engine power is up to 550 PS and 680 Nm.
So is it only quick in a straight line? No, in Dynamic it corners quite well.
It gives trust, but it's a bit strange because it remains so level.
As a result you feel less connected to this than in other cars.
Is that an issue? This isn't a driver's car anyway.
It's for people with money seeking to distinguish themselves.
After all, the regular RR Sport V8 Supercharged already has 510 PS.
+ Sensational SUV; Nice transmission
- No connection with mechanics; ESP is on or off
