Land Rover is working on a mid-cycle update for its Range
Rover Sport, and naturally the updates will filter across to the high-performance SVR variant.
We have new spy shots of a prototype for the updated Range
Rover Sport SVR, a vehicle we expect to be launched alongside the updated version of the
regular Range Rover Sport sometime next year. They should arrive as
2018 models.
Looking at the photos, we can see that the basic design will
remain unchanged. However, there appears to be a new design for the intakes in
the front bumper
. This might suggest the vehicle is getting the
575-horsepower version of Jaguar Land Rover’s supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 found
in the 2017
Jaguar F-Type SVR. The current Range Rover Sport SVR has the same engine
but with a 550-hp rating.
Beyond any mechanical updates, look for tweaks to be made
inside the cabin. We could also see some additional tech features such as more
advanced electronic driver aids.
The current Range Rover Sport SVR is already a brilliant vehicle,
so any refinements being made are simply icing on the cake. Despite its size
and ability to go off-road, the Range Rover Sport SVR comes close to matching
the performance of some dedicated sports cars on the track, including Jaguar
Land Rover’s own F-Type. It really is that good.
Note, the Range Rover SUV is also coming in for an update,
as evidenced by a prototype spotted earlier.
