Car Tech Video: The 550-horsepower Range Rover Sport SVR - CNET
[NOISE] This is the new Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR. [NOISE] It's what happens when the guys at Land Rover get tired of watching the Jaguar engineers have all the fun in the [UNKNOWN] ring, and build a sports car of their own. [SOUND] With its five liter super-charged V8 engine, this is the fastest Land Rover ever built. With a top speed of 162 miles per hour and it hits zero to 62 miles per hour in just 4. 2 seconds. Now, underneath all of that, we've got Land Rover's excellent four-wheel drive system which features a new dynamic setting for on-road handling. Now what's interesting here is that the right height and suspension appear to be unchanged from other Range Rover Sport Models. But for the extra money, you're also getting an SVR body kit that looks a lot more aggressive. Now the base SVR starts at about $111,000. That's significantly more expensive than about the $80,000 you spend for a Range Rover Super Charged. That brings us to an as tested price of $118,000. Yes, you would have to absolutely nuts to pay this price tag, but the kind of person interested in this car, is already there. Source: www.cnet.com
