Range Rover Sport SV Edition One with BMW engine

Land Rover has introduced the BMW-powered Range Rover Sport SV. The British answer to the Cayenne and other SUVs brings a recognizable body design but with slightly different bumpers, larger air vents and a few carbon details.

Range Rover Sport SV is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4L V8 engine with 635 hp (467 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, until now Range Rover used a 5.0L V8 engine with 575 hp (423 kW). The new engine is powerful enough to push the car to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h).

At Range Rover, they’ve worked hard on the suspension and brakes that need to cope with the performance of the SV, so for the first time potential buyers have also prepared optional carbon-ceramic brakes behind (optional) ultralight 23-inch carbon rims. There is also a limited rear differential lock, but also the best control system ever installed in a Range Rover model. Range Rover points out that the Sport SV is 70 kg lighter than the standard version. It should also be noted that the floor is 25 millimeters closer to the ground.

Inside, the cabin is lined with the highest quality materials. For a better atmosphere, there is also a new 1,430-watt Meridian Signature audio system with 29 speakers and front heated/cooled seats with a massage function.

When it comes to price, the Range Rover Sport SV, which will be offered in the first year as Edition One, will cost around 140,000 euros. Also, the company pointed out that customers will be able to customize their cars with numerous options.
