Born in 1948 as a utilitarian 4WD off-road vehicle by the Rover Company, throughout the decades Land Rover has established itself as a luxury sports utility vehicle and yet with four-wheel drive, and with decent off-road capabilities. The Range Rover from Land Rover is considered as their marque and with this prime example being from their fourth generation. Up for grabs is a 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with just 60,000 miles on the clock and available to be seen in the Sunshine State, Florida.

Exterior and Interior

Whilst the original Land Rover was created as a utilitarian vehicle, it has evolved into much more. This evolution is visible through the attention to detail and luxury features that were showered on the brand as it progressed through time. This 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR comes bedecked in a smoky Santorini Black patina. It sits on a set of 21” Style 517 multi-spoke wheels painted in black which also feature wheels locks. The interior features many luxury options crammed in by Land Rover and with the addition of enhancements packs. Starting, on entering the vehicle you are greeted by a two-toned interior done in Cirrus and Ebony. An Ebony Morzine headliner is also in place for extravagance. The sports seats feature a racing-style design on them which is also extended to the rest of the vehicle. Dual-one climate control is standard on the SVR, along with configurable mood lighting. The front center console is host to a touchscreen display and a cooler box. The multifunction steering wheel is also finished off in the two-tone color scheme and is also wrapped in leather and heated as well. A sliding panoramic sunroof and soft-close doors add the cherry on top.

Engine

While most Range Rovers are nowadays known for their luxury, this 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR combines luxury with insane performance. This aggressively tuned Range Rover has a 5.0L supercharged V8 which produces 550hp of power and 502 lb-ft of torque. A “make it loud’ button on the center console will make the sports exhaust growl like a cornered beast. Stopping power is courtesy of 6-piston Brembo brakes. 0-60 mph is clocked in at 4.5 seconds, quite impressive considering this is a 5,148 lb SUV that can easily traverse off-road as it does on the tarmac.
