Range Rover Sport SVR

[spookywillow]

Very nice car, I didn't take much notice of the one I see everyday at work until I saw this thread as they all look so similar outside but I did today.....His AND Hers SV-A's. Stupid amount of luxury inside but not suprising for £165k each.

Yours is faster so I'd take the SV-R, plus it's about 70K cheaper

SVR will be even quicker than, I do like how Jaguar/RR are still throwing great big V8's and super chargers at things.

Haha we try. Shame the engine covers aren't good enough

You can blame me for the hole above the oil filter on that one

Clicked the comment button with the intention of "Keved up Chelsea tractor".

Couldn't go through with it, what a machine! Enjoy those pops and crackles!

Its a ZF 8 speed, torque converter.

Torque converter still has to manage speed differentials when you change gear before it can lock up; so its exactly the same sort of feature.

oh right. Thanks for the explanation.

Need to talk my mate into trying to get one of these as his next company car!

Absolutely love it, is hard to find anything that could be considered an "upgrade" over an L405, but this definitely is.

Used it on the commute this morning and got a surprising 22.4mpg - that's Harrogate > Leeds, mix of stop/start busy 30/40 zones and NSL (but more like 40-50mph).

I was expecting closer to 15 to be honest, which is what it was averaging since I bought it (it's spent quite of lot of time in Dynamic mode though hah)

I think that's an absolutely brilliant car and I most definitely want one. The sound is brilliant, coupled with the comfort, driving position, it looks ideal. The wife would even like it! £100k though!

 

[Sagalout]

Man maths - it's as good as a £50k sports car and £50k barge, but takes up less drive space!

Yup, thats man maths alright.

Hah, ok, well it's pretty close to a well specced Cayman S - sounds better too

 

[Aeleys]

sounds lovely

One of these passed me on the way out of Derby earlier (thought it was the OP but it had a private plate).

the thing was absolutely screaming when it went past. Sounded SOOOOO nice.

[randomshenans]

Wow, that's wow. I want.

Got the opportunity to have a cool pic of the car taken at the weekend. My wife bought me a voucher for a photoshoot with Just Jane, the Lancaster at East Kirkby Aviation Museum. I've actually had a taxi ride in this aircraft previously, which was an amazing experience, so the chance to have another visit was great.

There were quite a few cars there, from Subarus, a Lotus, a Skyline, some bikes and a even a Skoda Yeti.

I got a proper framed photo, but this is one just taken on the iPhone:

The car even managed a pretty impressive (relatively!) 27.5MPG on the trip down at the weekend!
