If you’re set on owning the very best
Range Rover Velar money can buy, the SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition variant is
clearly the way to go, with its 542 HP 5.0-liter supercharged V8. However,
if you want something a little more “custom”, then you should check out the
newly released Manhart-tuned Velar SV 600, which is based on the
previously-mentioned spec. The tuned model puts down 592 HP and 750 Nm of torque.
The extra muscle comes courtesy of the
Manhart Performance ECU remapping, and is accentuated by the custom sports
exhaust system with flap control, featuring a replacement pipe with 200-cell
HJS catalytic converters.
Also new are the turbine design Hawke wheels
measuring 10.5 x 23 inches, wrapped in 285/35 ZR23 rubber. The rims themselves
are glossy black, yet are edged by a contrast stripe, mirroring the color of
the Manhart Performance decal set.
The interior, as well as the chassis and
brakes remain standard, but the German tuner will provide customized solutions
if the customer requires something more specific in any of the
previously-mentioned three departments.
Speaking of the interior, the
SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition model already comes fully loaded with
twin-stitched perforated and quilted Windsor leather, a unique sports steering
wheel with aluminum shift paddles, sport pedals, illuminated metal tread plates
and a knurled finish for the rotary gear selector and infotainment system
dials.
As for performance, Manhart doesn’t
specify any new acceleration or top speed figures, but the standard model is
already capable of hitting 96 km/h in 4.3 seconds, while maxing out at 274 km/h.
