After the unveiling of the “normal” Range Rover Sport, it’s only natural that all attention should focus on its sportier variant, the Range Rover Sport SVR that we should know later this year.
Already «caught» in tests by photographers’ lenses, the Range Rover Sport SVR returned to star in a series of spy photos, already showing the bumpers of the production version.
As expected, these have a more aggressive and sporty look that is complemented by prominent side skirts and, at the rear, by the diffuser with four exhaust outlets.

As for the other forms of the most sporty of the Range Rover Sport, these are still well “disguised” by the abundant camouflage, but in general they should not differ much from the ones we already know from the Range Rover Sport, with the adoption of some specific logos being only expected.
What to expect from the Range Rover Sport SVR?
In the range of engines of the «normal» Range Rover Sport we already find the V8 biturbo block with 4.4 l from BMW, so it is practically guaranteed that the SVR version will also use this eight-cylinder engine from the Munich brand.
And taking into account that in the Range Rover Sport this engine already delivers 530 hp and 750 Nm — numbers that allow it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5s — it will be interesting to see what the numbers will be offered in the Range Rover Sport SVR.

And here, there are two strong possibilities: either it offers the same 600 hp and 750 Nm that we find in the X5 M and X6 M or it receives the more powerful variant of this engine, present in the X5 M and X6 M Competition.
If that happens, we can expect the sportiest Range Rover to present itself with an impressive 625 hp and 750 Nm of torque. It remains to be seen whether BMW is willing to «give in» its engine in the most powerful configuration or if it will do a certain «protectionism» and reserve that version just for itself.
