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 later this 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 assist features.
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 larger Range Rover SUV is also coming in for an
update, as evidenced by a prototype spotted earlier.
