In its place sits a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine with mild-hybrid technology borrowed from BMW. It produces a colossal 626 horsepower and 590 pound-feet (800 Newton meters) of torque or 59 hp and 74 lb-ft (100 Nm) more than before.
Mind you, the torque figure we mentioned is only available with Dynamic Launch Mode turned on as the engine produces 551 lb-ft (750 Nm) the rest of the time. The most potent Range Rover ever needs 3.6 seconds to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) and tops out at 180 mph (290 km/h). These are impressive performance figures for a gasoline-fueled SUV that happens to weigh a hefty 2,560 kilograms (5,644 pounds).
Customers can remove some of that fat by opting for the world's first 23-inch carbon fiber wheels, which shave off a combined 36 kilograms (80 pounds). The new SV is also the first Range Rover to have optional carbon-ceramic brakes (Brembo) that remove a further 34 kg (75 lbs) compared to the standard-fit iron brakes. Take into consideration the carbon fiber hood and weight savings amount to 76 kg (168 lbs).
The brawny SUV rides on Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires measuring 285/40 R23 at the front and a meaty 305/35 R23 at the rear. The usual Dynamic mode has been taken a step further as the new SV Mode lowers the vehicle by an additional 15 millimeters (0.6 inches) and it also sharpens up the throttle response, steering, and how quickly the eight-speed automatic transmission reacts.
