The first pictures of the facelifted Range Rover
Sport SVR have surfaced online ahead of its official unveiling. Looking bold
and aggressive, the model adopts a new front bumper with larger air intakes and
a carbon fiber grille surround. The Range Rover Sport has also been equipped
with a new carbon fiber hood which is partially painted and features two large
vents.
The sporty styling continues further back as
designers installed new front fender vents and revised side skirts. We can also
see new wheels which are backed up by a high-performance braking system with
red calipers.
Out back, the changes are less noticeable but
include a body-color lower bumper, a painted rear diffuser, and a four-tailpipe
sports exhaust system with a chrome finish. Other highlights include SVR
badging and a carbon fiber insert on the tailgate.
Only a few interior pictures were posted by Autowp
but they show the model will follow in the footsteps of the Range Rover Velar
and adopt a second display for the climate control system. There also appears
to be updated switchgear, new seats, and revised upholstery.
Power will be provided by a supercharged 5.0-liter
V8 engine and its output is expected to be increased to around 575 PS.
This should enable the Range Rover Sport SVR to accelerate from 0-96 km/h in
less than 4.5 seconds before hitting a top speed in excess of 260
km/h.
