I bought my SVR in 2015 with the 550 BHP V8 and to be honest the exhaust sounds better than this current 575 BHP ultimate edition model and that is just unacceptable being nearly 7 years newer. The fact that the next SVR models will come with a Turbocharged BMW engine which sound like a damn blender is criminal and I'm definitely getting this one since it will hold it's value and possible increase due to the engine being the last of it's kind. Similar to the E46 and the E92 M3 a couple years back, this one will be a good investment.
We traded away my wife’s ‘17 SVR for a ‘23 G63 - can honestly say we regret it. While there is fear of out of warranty problems, the quality of the ride was leaps and bounds ahead of the G63. Agree with @cooladam247 muting the ‘18-‘22 SVR is criminal.
It’s not the manufacturers desire to make it sound more muted, the regulations changed for the 2018 model onwards. To the contrary, I’ve had both and by 2020 model still sounded more awesome than anything else in this class and price bracket (AMG’s included).
How's that "holding value or increasing" theory going? Cost a lot to insure if you cna even get them insured and are going for £20k second hand. Yikes.
@@averagesimguy598 I sold a 67 plate SVR for £41K three months ago. The ones you say are going for 20K are beaten up with over 100K miles on the clock. My original one ending up written off but I still got 27K from insurance.
LOVED our '17 F-Type R... RIP as it was totaled when an elderly chap from Austria was speeding down the Blue Ridge Parkway and said that "he never saw us" before rear ending us as we were stopped making a left-hand turn into a park. The police said they figure he was going about 50MPH. Fortunately, the rigid cabin protected me and my wife as the car was relocated to about 50-to-100 yards across a barrier and into a field. No injuries though both cars had been totaled.
Great video and beautiful scenery. I still find the idea of these super 2+ ton SUV’s travelling at the very high speeds that’s they are undoubtedly capable of mildly terrifying.
The thing that amazes me about the SVR, is it’s a 4x4 that can also be a road car. That’s why it’s not as responsive as the Porsche, which in my opinion is a road car that has four wheel drive. The SVR can still go out in a boggy field, on a shoot or whatever then join a road and blast down it. The depth of capability is astounding all things considered. As for the comments about reliability, I’ve had three RR sports since 2015 and never had much of a problem. Yes the infotainment systems are crap, but other than that no issues 🤷🏻♂️
@@DiaperSNiFFER you need to differentiate between the 2021 pivi pro system or the old touch pro duo. The pivi pro found in f-pace/e-pace and velar/evoque + range rover is pretty good!
Please keep selling the v8 supercharged! I bought the p525 this year and planning to buy the svr next year. I’ m NOT INTERESTED IN ANY TURBOCHARGED OR HIBRID/ELECTRIC SHIT. Keep doing the v8 kompressor please
i wish that you could test drive Velar sva, the somewhat limited edition velar. I bought my sva, suspension tuning sucks and a lot of computer and little issues. but i haven't regret buying it.
Not that many things. It includes the white lettering the side fender and some elements inside. In my opinion, the carbon edition is better and cost less.
Range Rover SVR all day every day compared to the dull Cayenne. Soon nobody is going to buy new cars anymore because so few of them are actually desirable enough to bother.
I wish Land Rover was part of BMW Group we need that outstanding performance and unmatched off road wading capability to complement our selection of choice brands.
Lower spec range rovers are too damn unreliable. Could you imagine an svr with so much power. They also cost an arm an a leg to maintain and repair. It can really leave a sour taste in your mouth. I just see the point in having them.
@@v12-s65 I assume you mean Safari land rovers. You can't find any of those in my country. However, in the big cities, new Range Rovers (the rich) is not an uncommon sight, and the sport version (not SVR) is popular with young successful women.

Good to hear you were all okay!
RIP Jag SVR :( but at least you were okay!

travelling at the very high speeds that’s they are undoubtedly capable of mildly terrifying.
Yup.. Lots of kinetic energy
What an engine. I like to think that if someone had tried to hook it up to a CVT, the V8 would have ripped it to shreds in an act of sheer defiance.
🤣So🤣True🤣!
Facts! The 5.0L V8 would r 🦍 the CVt transmission ⚙️
"... limpet-like grip ..." I haven't heard that one before. Learned something new today.
The Range Rover Sport SVR got outsmarted by the humble Toyota Prado in the new James Bond movie.
Dont why JLR took so much effort for those scenes
And everything was thrased by a 20+ year old Stock trustworthy Prado
Should have game 007 the SVR and made the chase scene longer
That was so funny in cinema😂

wait!? Infotainment system in this is crap? Why? I was going to get the velar, is that Infotainment better?
@@DiaperSNiFFER same one. Still crap!
@@jcm9289 why is it crap? Is it slow to respond or something?
@@DiaperSNiFFER yes sometimes it doesn’t respond at all. It’s poorly made and laggy

Who else had to double check the title of the video after opening it for 10 seconds and seeing that it is the Porsche not the svr
Me 👍
I thought that 2 minutes in. Yep that long and I kept checking the title too 😂
Great ,clear and unbiased review
That made no reference to RRS excellent 4WD abilities.
Great video of a car (engine) that has always intrigued me 👍
I just adore my SVR… it’s simply the best JLR product I have ever owned and the only car I have ever taken the long way home.

Hey did you get the svr? Is it great? Im looking at a p525 and wondering if its worth stepping up to the svr.
I think he's indirectly saying IT'S RAW! kudos to Land Rover for such an amazing Vehicle! ❤️
Just got one of the last ultimate editions in grey
Very good review. Time given to explain and view the vehicle. Good job
So the new one will have an M5 engine?
i wish that you could test drive Velar sva, the somewhat limited edition velar. I bought my sva, suspension tuning sucks and a lot of computer and little issues. but i haven't regret buying it.
Is it worth getting this when a new one is coming
Lovely watch. Classy watch for a classy channel.
This makes us feel warm and fuzzy.
is the car really big or the dude really small?
Oe of the reason I am not a fan of the new Rangie is because of that BMW V8.... This Jag engine it's just soo lovely!
My Favorite My Dream is Range Rover Sport SVR 🖤❤️😳🤩
22 plate
So what's new in the ultimate edition compared to a regular svr?
Not that many things. It includes the white lettering the side fender and some elements inside. In my opinion, the carbon edition is better and cost less.
Where is that road
I’d have the F Pace SVR.
Not in the same class
I hate seeing vehicles like these go away. It saddens me 😥.
Really disappointing
Range Rover SVR all day every day compared to the dull Cayenne. Soon nobody is going to buy new cars anymore because so few of them are actually desirable enough to bother.
Why? You don't say why it doesn't drive as well as the Porsche. Answer? It's a far better 4WD. RRs USP.
The drug dealers will snap them all up
What about relaybilty ? What hapens whan warrenty is over ?
i'll put my mouny on grand chiroky hellcat
shekels

That’s why they can only be owned under warranty.
Jaguar F-Pace is better looking, faster and cheaper
Yobo noisy brick
Roll on the replacement BMW V8.
Range Rovers are a rare sight in Denmark, because of the poor reliability. We see more Maseratis.. And of course, Porsche 🤷♂️
in Switzerland there are plenty, infact my evoque has 185'000km
But how, for us Africans Is among the most reliable cars🤷♂️

👍
porsche should stick to cars not SUVs. The RRS SVR is perfect
This is alomost as much as the porsche? no way can youtake this over the porsche and especially with how horrible the reliability is of range rover
What an ugly thing. They ruined Range Rovers. Long love the l332 autobiography/Ultimate edition.
