Review: 2015 Range Rover Sport V8 SVR - LeftLane News
The 2015 Range Rover Sport V8 SVR is the perfect example of a Yob. Still, the SVR is reason enough for us to put on our hooligan finest for a day of cruising in Land Rover's bad boy. What is it. The Range Rover Sport SVR is the more brash and boisterous big brother of the already stellar Range Rover Sport that was revised in model year 2014. A midsized four-wheel-drive luxury SUV, it can be ordered with seating for five, or... Our SVR (Land Rover-speak for Special Vehicle Racing) example featured seating for four, with space for an occasional fifth passenger. For power, the SVR "ripped" the modified 5. 0-liter supercharged V8 engine from the parts bin of its Jaguar F-Type cousin. That trim, fit and reserved engine is mated exclusively to a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, which has been tweaked to offer rev-matching and shifts that are twice as fast as those from the regular Range Rover Sport. The permanent four-wheel-drive is equipped with a two-speed transfer case for off-roading and other challenging terrain, while the center differential blends traction from a front to rear bias of 50:50.
