Hot new Range Rover Sport SV: V8 super-SUV confirmed for 31 May
Fastest, most expensive Range Rover Sport will introduce game-changing tech and be sold by invitation only
The hottest version of the new Range Rover Sport will be revealed on 31 May as "the fastest, most dynamic and technologically advanced" version of Solihull's sports SUV yet.
Expected to nudge power output past the 542bhp of its predecessor, the next range-topper will be called the Range Rover Sport SV in acknowledgement of the Special Vehicles department that is developing it. The previous car was called the SVR, for Special Vehicle Ratings.
Further details will emerge as the launch date approaches, but Land Rover has already confirmed the new car will be a "highly limited" proposition, offered by invitation only - and will pioneer a number of 'world-first' technologies to reach new performance heights.
The SV is set to use a highly strung version of the Range Rover's BMW-derived 4.4-litre V8, as featured in the standard Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, pushing power and torque to unprecedented heights in a bid to rival the Lamborghini Urus and Aston Martin DBX 707 for super-SUV supremacy.
The Range Rover Sport SV will be one of Land Rover's final new combustion cars; earlier this week Jaguar Land Rover gave a wide-reaching update on the progress of its Reimagine transformation plan, which will see an electric Range Rover arrive next year, before the Land Rover Discovery Sport, Range Rover Sport, Evoque and Velar go electric from 2025.

Be afraid, be very afraid: there’s a new Range Rover Sport SV coming
And it’s an invite-only affair for Rangie’s SVR successor. Batten down the hatches
Batten down the hatches, secure any loose furniture and pack your precious chattels into an underground bunker: Range Rover has confirmed a successor to the unhinged SVR is coming. Get ready for the Range Rover Sport SV.
We know nothing about the new high-performance Rangie Sport other than the fact it’ll be revealed at the end of next month, be available to purchase on 'invitation only', be limited in numbers and offer “a number of innovative world-first, sector first and Range Rover-first technologies”. These technologies will apparently “unlock the assertive model’s full performance potential”.
The old Range Rover Sport SVR certainly had a lot of performance, or what we technically referred to at the time as “excellent, daft and bloody good fun”. That car used a 567bhp version of JLR’s fire-breathing 5.0-litre supercharged V8, to record a 0-62mph time of just 4.5s and top speed of 174mph.
Quite what trick, modern technologies the new RRS SV will deploy is anyone’s guess, and the question of why the world of 2023 needs yet another heavy, performance-orientated SUV is another story altogether.

New Range Rover Sport SV Will Be Revealed 31 May
Ladies and gents, the most exciting Range Rover Sport offering will be revealed on 31 May as “the fastest, most dynamic and technologically advanced” version of the sports SUV yet.
We are expecting power output to increase beyond that of the 542 hp predecessor and it will be dropping the ‘R’ from its moniker. It will be called the Range Rover Sport SV in acknowledgement of the Special Vehicles department that is developing it.
Land Rover has already confirmed the new car will be a “highly limited” proposition, offered by invitation only and will pioneer a number of ‘world-first’ technologies to reach new performance heights.
The potent SUV will make use of the BMW-sourced 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 so we won’t get that raucous noise like the 5.0-litre supercharged V8 we have come to love but it will be properly rapid.
This car will be one of the very last new combustion cars from Land Rover as they will then focus on their Reimagine transformation plan.

New Range Rover Sport SV To Pack 607 HP (453 kW)
The hottest version of the new Range Rover Sport will be revealed on the 31st of this month but now we know how much bang you will get for a lot of your bucks.
Under the hood of the new Range Rover Sport SV, you will find a highly tuned version of the BMW-derived 4.4-litre V8 delivering 607 horses (453 kW) and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque.
Further details will emerge as the 31 May launch date approaches, but it’s already been confirmed the new car will be a “highly limited” proposition, offered by invitation only.
This version uses a hybrid powertrain for the first time, with all new Range Rovers going hybrid-only from next year.

Manhart Gives Range Rover Sport Menacing Looks And 644 HP (480 kW)
German tuning company Manhart has taken the Land Rover Range Rover Sport P530 and turned it into the SV 650.
The result sees the BMW-sourced twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 delivering 644 hp (480 kW) and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) of torque.
The power boost comes courtesy of Manhart’s MHtronik powerbox, which is a plug-and-play tuning module. The company also offers an optional exhaust system with remote-controlled valves, but this piece does not have a TÜV certificate, so it cannot be sold in Germany.
Manhart does not quote acceleration specs for the SV 650, but the stock Range Rover Sport P530 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.5 seconds. With the power boost, the SUV should be able to do the same sprint in a slightly quicker time.

New Range Rover Sport SV: mild-hybrid super-SUV gets 626bhp
Most powerful production Range Rover introduces game-changing tech and will be sold by invitation only
The Range Rover Sport’s performance flagship has arrived as the fastest and most powerful production Range Rover yet, offering supercar performance at 2560kg thanks to a 626bhp 4.4-litre V8.
Called the SV – dropping the ‘R’ suffix of the previous car – it is the latest project from JLR’s Special Vehicles team and is “the most dynamic and technologically advanced” version of the sports SUV yet.
Based on the latest-generation Range Rover Sport, the new halo SV is one of Land Rover’s final new combustion cars. JLR, under its Reimagine transformation plan, will launch a Range Rover EV next year, before the Land Rover Discovery Sport, Range Rover Sport, Evoque and Velar go electric from 2025.
Pushing out 626bhp from a 4.4-litre BMW-sourced engine, which is twin-turbocharged and mildly hybridised, the SV trumps the previous SVR’s 542bhp, achieved from a supercharged 5.0-litre V8.

The 626bhp Range Rover Sport SV has landed
And this two and a half tonne SuperSUV features carbon offsetting! And also a massive BMW turbo V8
Stealthier, isn’t it? A bit calmer, classier. The Range Rover Sport SV replaces the old SVR. You remember that, of course: often painted bright blue, made a noise like Hercules gargling chilli mouthwash while having his foot stamped on. The uncouth monster has been civilised. The focus has shifted. Subtler styling, more emphasis on performance, handling and tech, ostentation dimmed down.
No dimming for the powertrain. In place of the old 5.0-litre supercharged V8 (deceased due to emissions) comes not an uprated six cylinder hybrid as fitted to other RRSs, but another V8, this one with a pair of turbos and sourced from BMW. Yes, it’s the 4.4-litre as fitted to the biggest, lairiest M cars. 626bhp and 590lb ft (on overboost, the most the 8spd auto can cope with) for 0-62mph in 3.6secs and a 180mph top end.
That gives it straight-line speed to rival the Lamborghini Urus, Aston Martin DBX and assorted German metal, not least the BMW X5M. There are obviously faster versions of the first two: DBX 707 and Urus Performante. In time maybe we’ll see a further uprated SVR. Otherwise this surely must be the last hurrah for a thundering V8. Range Rover has said we’ll see its first BEV next year. How long after that before we see a BEV SV?
But V8 SV is what we’ve got now. The badge means different things to different Range Rovers, but essentially it’s a refinement and development of the standard car that emphasises its particular strengths. So an SV Range Rover is more luxurious, while this becomes sportier.

Range Rover Sport SV ushers in 2024 line-up with 467kW V8, carbon fibre wheels
The 2024 Range Rover Sport line-up is being ushered in with a bang, with the new SV model making its debut as the most potent Range Rover ever.
But before you reach for that chequebook, the new Range Rover Sport SV will initially only be available as an Edition One model reserved for a small selection of clients around the world, by invitation only.
The new performance flagship has an even more powerful version of the BMW-sourced mild hybrid twin-turbo V8 that propels the larger Range Rover SV.
The smaller Range Rover Sport SV gains an additional 15kW for a total of 467kW, while peak torque remains at 750Nm. What this means out on the street is a 3.7-second claimed 0-100km/h acceleration time and 290km/h top speed.
Of course, it also helps that the new supersonic SUV is up to 76kg lighter than its predecessor, that’s if you opt for the new 23-inch Carbon Fibre Wheel option, which is a world first for a production car. Together the four wheels are 35.6kg lighter than similarly-sized alloys.

New Range Rover Sport SV Revealed Packing 626 HP (467 kW) V8
Land Rover has revealed its new Range Rover Sport SV, a high-performance flagship that will replace the previous SVR and rival top-end high-performance SUVs
This potent new offering drops the letter ‘R’ from its nameplate as well as the supercharged 5.0-litre V8 developed by Jaguar Land Rover. In its place sits a twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8 engine with mild-hybrid technology borrowed from BMW. It produces a potent 626 hp (467 kW) and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque. Activate the Dynamic Launch Mode and you get an additional 50 Nm (37 lb-ft) of torque to sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.6 seconds.
The transmission has also been given a makeover, with the eight-speed auto now featuring a bespoke SV calibration, and there’s a locking rear differential on the rear axle and a centre-locking differential for off-road applications too.
