Range Rover Sport SVR Ultimate
Jaguar Land Rover’s SVO (Special Vehicle Operations) Bespoke department is now creating the Ultimate variant of the Range Rover Sport SVR. The British off-road vehicle manufacturer is thus taking its fastest and most powerful model to date to an even more refined level. Until now, the “Ultimate” version was only available for the large Range Rover. For the smaller Range Rover Sport in the SVR top engine version with the Ultimate trim, Land Rover offers only three hand-applied paint finishes. Either the body wears “Maya Blue”, “Marl Grey” or matte “Ligurian Black”. In the two glossy paint colors, white glass particles are incorporated into the base coat to enhance the shine. While the standard carbon fiber hood with integrated air vents is painted body color, the side vents and lettering surrounds feature white accents. The roof, pillars and the 22-inch wheels and brake calipers behind them wear gloss black.
Premiere at the Salon Privé
When the doors are opened, the special “SV Bespoke” chrome logos on the B-pillars catch the eye. There is also a badge on the center tunnel and Ultimate door sill trims. The leather and suede-cloth trim wears “Ebony” and “Cirrus” hues. Driver and front co-driver take their seats on lightweight performance seats. Behind the steering wheel are black anodized metal shift paddles. These are used to select the eight forward gears of the automatic transmission. Under the hood, a five-liter supercharged V8 engine with 575 hp and 700 Nm of torque rumbles. This power accelerates the Range Rover Sport SVR Ultimate from a standstill to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds and on to a topspeed of 176 mph. While order books open today, the car won’t make its debut until September 1 at Salon Privé. In the UK, the base price is £ 123,900.
