Land Rover is continuing its thorough development of
the performance-focused Velar SVR and recently brought out a camouflaged
prototype to the Nurburgring.
The Velar SVR
will follow in the footsteps of the Range Rover Sport SVR and receive the magic
touch from the firm's Special Vehicle Operations division. This will inevitably
involve a host of visual and mechanical modifications aimed at improving the
SUV's performance.
Under the hood, JLR is expected to employ its
familiar supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine delivering around 567 hp and 700 Nm of torque, more than enough to give the Porsche Macan Turbo and
Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio a run for their money. The Velar SVR will also sound particularly menacing.
In terms of visual updates, we expect to see the
usual trimmings of bespoke front and rear bumpers, enlarged air intakes, SVR
badging and some minor interior changes.
