VIDEO: 550 HP Range Rover SRV Sport Makes Official Debut

Range Rover SRVOne bad Range Rover finally made its official debut in Monterey at the Concours d’Elegance in Pebble Beach. Meet the most powerful production Range Rover yet, the 2015 SRV Sport.

Now it’s time to get down to the good stuff. Capable of throwing down 550 horsepower and reaching a top speed of 162 miles per hour, the Sport SVR can reach 0 to 60 in a swift 4.5 thanks to its well-known supercharged 5.0-liter used in the Jaguar XFR-S, XKR-S, XJR and F-Type R Coupe.

Helping to shift all of that power into gear is an eight-speed automatic from ZF suited for high-performance fun, but it also offers a subtle, smooth and comfortable driving experience that the Range Rover lineup is famous for. According to Land Rover, this is the same gearbox used in non-SVR models but has been “retuned” for this sporty SUV, which is claimed to shift 50-percent faster.

Not only is this SRV the fastest Range Rover yet, as can be plainly seen in the video below of the SRV roaring around a rain-soaked Silverstone Circuit, considered the “Home of British Motor Racing” near Northampton, England, it also includes some sweet cosmetic upgrades for a much more aggressive appearance. The SVR-spec Sport features a more aggressive front end with noticeably larger intakes on the front fascia. Helping to beef up the rear end is a quad-tipped exhaust.

However, since the SRV is still a part of the Land Rover lineup, it comes equipped with off-road capabilities. The air suspension can be adjusted from the lowest setting to off-road, ranging a total of 9.3 inches from the highest point to the lowest. The new SRV is quite the head-turner, and according to sources at AutoBlog, it can be yours for just $110,000 starting this October.
