As can be seen in the video should not be easy to tame 550 horsepower and 680 Nm torque of the powerful engine supercharged V8 of 5.0 liters that equips this vehicle. To obtain a greater control with the system Terrain Response 2, which ensures an optimum grip in any situation thanks to the system of traction to the four wheels by a transfer case two-speed.
With such a system the torque will be divided in equal parts between both axles, although depending on the situation, you can send up to 100% of par the front axle or to the rear automatically. It also features a rear differential with active blocking dynamic. All of this technology, serving the last year to be the fastest vehicle of its class in the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
Although on the ‘Silverstone ice’ will not be able to squeeze out all its potential, the Range Rover Sport SVR is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds and reach a maximum speed electronically limited to 260 km/h. The gearbox used is the automatic ZF eight-speed transmission.
