Land Rover has released sensational footage of the Range Rover Sport SVR being put through its paces. In the dramatic film, Mike Cross, Chief Engineer Vehicle Integrity, Jaguar Land Rover, demonstrated the adjustability, poise and outstanding body control of the fastest and most powerful Land Rover ever produced.

Mike explains how the Range Rover Sport SVR’s sophisticated drivetrain and advanced four-wheel drive chassis technology deliver supreme high speed handling characteristics as he laps the Rockingham circuit in the UK.

The blisteringly fast SVR has been created by Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations team and can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds. Power comes from a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 petrol engine developed to produce 405 kw and 680Nm of torque.

The Range Rover Sport was recently voted the luxury SUV of the Year 2014 by the respected Nigeria Auto Journalists Awards.
