Great choice, someone down our road has one and it sounds glorious.
- Lots of weight
- High centre of gravity
- then try to engineer it to handle and go like a track car
I see no compromise
All the hyper 4x4's are the same. Take a pretty good off roader and then ruin those abilities by making it 'performance'.
I'd have to disagree - Landrover SVO are very specific in that the off-road capability of the SVR is the same as the normal sport, at least with the stock 21 wheels and tyres. The 22's are more road orientated.
....and yet it can go around the 'ring within 10 seconds of an Alfa Romeo 4C
While it's a stunning piece of machinery, there's no way you can argue that it's not at all compromised. Land Rover engineers are very good, but they are not able to break the laws of physics.
Great purchase btw.
Does it really matter though? I suspect people who buy one aren't really interested in serious off road capability. The attraction I guess is having the ultimate version of an already very fast and luxurious car.
Correct me if I'm wrong OP, and you're actually intending to do regular green-laning
