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.

Land 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 Land 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 Land 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. Land 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.

New expensive cars in off-road challenges are always interesting, but the guys from Carwow decided that the older models, BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne and Range Rover, show that they are still capable of excitement and are not for the scrapyard.

The BMW X5 is powered by a 4.4-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine with 286 hp (210 kW) and 325 lb-ft (440 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The Porsche Cayenne is powered by a 4.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine with 335 hp (246 kW) and 310 lb-ft (420 Nm) of torque. This is the first generation of this model, which has a 6-speed automatic transmission and AWD.

The Range Rover is the third luxury SUV in this challenge, and it is powered by a 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine with 175 hp (129 kW) and 288 lb-ft (390 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 5-speed automatic transmission.

Of course there were some rules. The winner of each race won three points, the runner-up two, and the third-place winner one point. If the car does not complete the challenge then it gets no points, while in the end the car with the most points wins. In the end, the Porsche Cayenne showed the most (14 points), the second place went to the BMW X5 (11 points) and the Range Rover was, shall we say, less successful (10 points).
