The first go at the SVR's second coming gets 635hp and a sleeker look. So, Jekyll or Hyde?Land Rover will tell you that the old SVR was one of the most successful products it ever launched. Easily the most successful thing Special Vehicle Operations has ever done. It landed fully formed, a legend in its own V-Power-fuelled lunchtime. But no one would suggest it represented the manufacturer at its innovative best.
The second is developmental. This time around, Land Rover has launched itself at the performance derivative with what seems like fevered, spare-no-expense gusto. While the car itself has not been in development for five years, the manufacturer suggested some of the components have.
Granted, there is a mindset thing at play here. Parachute an Urus or Cayenne owner into the plush driver’s seat and they would likely think different, because the performance SUV hallmarks would be familiar. But I’d wager that current SVR owners will need a beat. Especially if long experience with previous Range Rovers has left them with a very specific expectation of what the relationship between primary ride and initial roll rate should feel like.
And sure, Land Rover had switched from the optional Pilot Sport summer tyres back to the standard all-season variety, and taken the precaution of removing the removable single-piece front splitter for a slightly superior approach angle - but, nevertheless, the SV retains the L461’s faculty for staring down obstacles that would cause other performance SUV’s to cringe - river fording included.
