Land Rover continues testing the new-generation Range Rover Sport SVR. Prototypes of the super SUV have been spotted for a while now, and the latest comes from Germany, where our spy photographers have nabbed the pictured one.
Still wearing a thick layer of camouflage, aided by some plastic cladding meant to further hide the design changes over the regular new-gen Range Rover Sport, the SVR will set itself apart from it by looking sportier.
For one, the front bumper has an aggressive design, with big central and side air intakes, and a fatter apron. At the rear, it has a new bumper with an integrated diffuser, and quad exhaust pipes. The roof-mounted wing looks about the same, though the final production model might get an extension. Also, the side skirts are more pronounced, and those big multi-spoke alloy wheels are understood to be exclusive to this model.
Look for a tweaked chassis too, with a dedicated suspension setup, and stiffer ride. Upgraded brakes will be part of the makeover, and a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine will be found under the hood. The BMW-sourced unit, likely tuned by Land Rover, might push out 625 ps (616 hp / 460 kW), which is identical to the X5 M Competition, and let’s not forget that the same mill is a bit punchier in the M5 CS, developing 635 ps (626 hp / 467 kW).
Moreover, with electrical assistance, like in the upcoming XM, it can scratch the 750 ps (739 hp / 552 kW) mark. The British automaker hasn’t said anything about a hybrid variant of the new-gen Range Rover Sport SVR, but such a version has indeed been rumored. As far as the unveiling date goes, it is expected in a few months from now, toward the end of 2022, or early next year, likely launching as a 2023 model.
