What does SVR mean? explaining Land Rover and Jaguar special vehicles

Posted 13th June 2019

Land Rover SVR

If you thought the quality of Land Rover and Jaguar cars was as good as it gets, then it’s time to think again. Both marques offer exclusive versions of their most popular models, redesigned and refined by their Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) divisions.

Range Rover SVR & Jaguar SVO

SVR versions of Land Rover and Jaguar cars take athletic style and performance to the highest levels. Wrapped in familiar bodies, you’ll find truly maximised functionality that combines supercharged engines with lightweight drive systems and standout looks. Like the SVO acronym, SVR stands for Special Vehicles - with the ‘R’ denoting the highest level of automotive quality and refinement.

Thrilling sports performance meets interior luxury in the Range Rover SVR by Land Rover. It’s designed to be electrifying on the road - in every way you can imagine.

The ‘R’ in Land Rover SVR signifies the peak potential of its Range Rover family, and fans of the brand can tell what makes the Range Rover SVR unique: front and side vents increase airflow and look at home alongside the familiar shape of the Range Rover Sport, while 22-inch alloy wheels befit the SVR’s powerful potential.

There are currently two new Land Rover SVR cars available, the Range Rover Sport SVR and Range Rover Sport SVR Carbon Edition. Not to mention the full range of used Land Rover cars.

SVR is joined by the Land Rover SVAutobiogaphy collection which - like the Land Rover SVR - demonstrates true handmade craftsmanship in style, finish and performance.

Range Rover Sport SVR Specs

The new Range Rover Sport SVR is set apart from the rest of the Land Rover collection: a ferocious 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine, which means 567bhp and 700Nm of torque. The cabin is as luxurious as you’d expect from a Range Rover, the SVO team have tweaked damping and stability to make handling the pure power of the SVR a pleasure.

It sits proudly on 21” polished grey alloys with an assured stance, with specially tuned suspension and damping for a smooth, refined experience.

Windsor leather lines the supportive Performance seats for the utmost comfort. And a Meridian Surround Sound System, Touch Pro Duo and Interactive Driver Display come together to make one of the most immersive infotainment systems around.

Light, sharp and fast, the F-TYPE SVR is the fastest of its family to date, with a top speed of 200mph. Its supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine packs up to 567bhp, using a four-wheel-drive system to let it blast from 0-60mph in under 3.5 seconds.
