Range Rover Sport SVR Spied With Huge Brakes And Quad Exhaust Pipes

After coming across both the new-generation Range Rover and Range Rover Sport on numerous occasions, our spy photographers captured the performance SVR variant of the latter. The prototype was heavily camouflaged but a few details gave up that this will become Land Rover’s fastest and most powerful SUV model.

The most obvious difference compared with earlier prototypes of the upcoming Range Rover Sport is the large-diameter wheels. While the 10-spoke rims finished in black and shod in low-profile tires could be replaced in the production version, they can’t hide the huge brake discs which show that this Range Rover has a powerful engine under the bonnet.

Another hint that this is the SVR version can be found at the back, where we find four exhaust pipes arranged in two sets in what looks like a diffuser (earlier prototypes had two smaller exhaust pipes). The production version will probably have unique front and rear bumpers with larger intakes, side sill extensions, a larger rear spoiler, and a different side intake on the front fenders together with SVR badging.

The Range Rover and Range Rover Sport will be based on Jaguar Land Rover’s new MLA (Modular Longitudinal Architecture) platform. Both models will be available with mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric powertrains offering reduced emissions and improved fuel efficiency compared to their predecessors. However, the SVR variant will continue playing the role of the most driver-focused model in the range.

According to the latest rumors, the Range Rover Sport SVR will use a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine sourced from BMW, that will produce close to 600 hp. That will bring it closer to rival models like the BMW X5/X6 M Competition, Audi RS Q8, and Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S and offer better performance compared to the current Range Rover Sport SVR, which is still quite a rapid beast.

Besides getting more power and a redesigned bodykit, the new Range Rover SVR will feature a different setup for the adaptive suspension, allowing for better handling in combination with the stronger brakes. The new-generation Range Rover Sport is expected to be unveiled sometime in late 2021 or early 2022, with the SVR following shortly after.
