Carbon Wheels on an SUV? New Range Rover Sport SV Review | Henry Catchpole - The Driver's Seat
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 бер 2024
- An initial worldwide run of 2500 First Edition Range Rover Sport SVs - costing £185,000 or $180,300 each - has ALREADY SOLD OUT, so the concept is clearly a popular one. As a vehicle it might be a little hard to fathom initially, and plenty will ask what the point is, but the aspect of the SV that arguably makes it interesting is that it still has proper off-road capability. While a Ferrari Purosangue might wince at the thought of much more than a muddy car park, the Range Rover Sport SV has been through the same off-road tests as its Land Rover brethren. Even while wearing those carbon fiber rims.
That's right: The new Range Rover Sport SV can be bought with carbon fiber wheels. Huge, 23-inch carbon fiber wheels. What’s more, you can have enormous carbon ceramic brakes with 440mm discs and eight piston calipers. Add in an anti-roll system that we’ve previously seen on supercars and you have a Land Rover capable of tackling totally new territory for the brand.
Whilst cars like the Porsche 911 Dakar and Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato seek to broaden their sporty horizons on muddier terrain, the new Range Rover Sport SV is setting its sights on the smooth tarmac of race circuits. Everyone it seems is blurring the lines these days. On the international launch, Henry Catchpole drove the SV around the testing twists and turns of Portimao and was frankly astonished at what the Land Rover was capable of.
The 6D Dynamics system for the chassis keeps the SV incredibly flat, both laterally in the corners and longitudinally under acceleration and braking. It’s helped by a redesigned rear subframe and and a ride height that is 25mm lower than a standard Range Rover Sport when in its new SV mode. There is also a considerably quicker steering ratio and the option of new Michelin Pilot Sport 5 S summer tyres to help get the most from the chassis
By comparison with the chassis, the powertrain is a bit of a sideshow. The BMW-sourced 4.4-litre, mild hybrid, twin-turbo V8 sounds quite pleasing, but is very demure acoustically when compared to the old SVR’s 5-litre Supercharged V8. However, producing 635bhp and 553lb ft of torque it has plenty of propulsion to propel the SV to 62mph in just 3.8 seconds on all-season rubber or 3.6 seconds on the summer tyres.
Thank you, as ever for watching. And thank you to the very kind owner of the Irish Green 911 Dakar for lending it to us for the film.

Literally everyone: Physical buttons. That's the first thing we're asking for. Everything else is secondary.
Manufacturers: Haha no. Have a laggy screen and shut up.
How much information is a driver expected to absorb and still have enough attention on the road? Eyes can't look in two or three directions at once. We aren't iguanas.
That and Piano Black. First shot of the center stack and its already showing scratches.
Dealer: “Sold out… Unless you got an extra $100k 😏”
Funny how that works
Totally corrupt
Buy previous version.......better tried and tested.....@@XSAaron
Hagerty makes such cinematic videos with Henry always love to see videos like this one !
First review that’s actually talked about the different suspension! Nice one Henry!
After what BMW and then Ford did to LR, it is so satisfying to see what LR has accomplished. A truly inspiring success story. Such wonderful vehicles.
LR is gone, right? It is now only RR and the ev Jags under "JLR" when they eventually start production.
Just like Mini, saved by BMW.
@@Spenny909 Refering to main company LR. Hence, the LR in JLR.
@@Mastermindthreethousand "saved"? You mean bought cheap, stole their technology so they could release the X5 in order to enter the newly lucrative SUV craze. Then after getting what they wanted dumped them on to Ford that did the same thing.
There is no LR anymore, this one has a bimmer engine!
I'll wait and import one cheap from Albania ... then get a ghost alarm fitted.
Ghost? Yes it definitely won't start even for you.
👍Hahaha... I was going to ask if it would be as popular there, as previous RR models. 🤣
Be interesting to find out if Albania, Russia and Africa had more late model RRs than Britain?
So you gonna buy a stolen one, then make sure it doesn't get stolen, nice.
Anyone curious, they're stolen from the UK and shipped to Albania. He's taking the pixs because they're incredibly easy to steal, and these are obviously a high value target
imports from London coming soon 😂
Weird concept. What's next, Greyhound Bus SVR?
Hey Bob, we finished designing the new interior and forgot about the center dash...
No worries, just stick this tablet there, no one will know
Who in the hell is taking their RR to a race track?!? 😂😂
It'd be interesting to get track/0-60 times comparison between the Dakar and the SV. Because we know the RR will be better off road.
The RR will break before it even gets to see any off-road driving
LOL. It was before 90s era of RR. Now they just fancy car with many problem for every miles
this is awesome car love it i just bought autobiography, however I still love this SV, its beast.
GOT IT!! Awesome review. Now..... I want one 😊
As an engineer I disapprove of this message. It is not 'special' to make a car drive properly with practically unlimited weight, size and such a high price bracket at hand. Still like the video though, great presentation and proper explanation of the car for what it is.
Almost wierd they didnt remove the backseat too and put a rollcage in it.
2001 AHC equipped land cruisers have hydraulic suspension which includes anti dive,.anti squat, anti roll, with height adjustable across 5" of travel and 4 different power settings including off road and high speed.
The reason why there was a left hand drive and a right hand drive was probably down to the right hand drive got stolen just outside of Birmingham. He was secretly tracking in down across Europe, making out it was a 'track day'.
Interesting choice of using 2.35 aspect ratio.
So, does it reach the finish line before breaking down?
Nicce its back, did JLR wanted to moderate original video? Like they always do if something isnt perfect for them?
“If it couldn’t do the Range Rover I would have not be bothered to drive it” should be the tag line and to me (far from having the deep pockets to buy one) make this SV a car to like. Thanks as always.
Good video, as always but jeez I can’t build any enthusiasm for this. So much so that all I can think is “how much will that 6d system cost to repair when it starts to break eventually”.
Given the fact that the stated point of differentiation here is the off-road ability, I'd like to see that tested in the review. Yes, it was taken down some tracks, but I've driven the roads shown in the film (and far steeper and more remote) in an underpowered 2wd Fiat Panda hire car without an issue, so that case hasn't yet been made for me...
A Russian channel AcademeG compared the previous svr against an Lexus lx570 (essentially a Land cruiser lc200) the svr went everywhere the lc200 went with less effort. It easily beat the lc200 on every hillclimb due to it's diffs and power. Both cars had smaller wheels with similar at tires.
Catchpole is the king auto journalist. Top top
not even close
If you think the 0-60 in 3.8 is ridiculous, the 0-CEL time is even crazier!
Yep try to insure one in the UK
Interesting car but too expensive for what it is. Personally if I was after a performance SUV I would be looking across the dealership at a Jaguar F Pace SVR. it might be a bit smaller but on paper it's 90% the capability of this Range Rover for 60% of the price (and you can probably get some discount on the Jag too).
You might not want to do that : Jaguar is cancelling all of the ice cars and going all electric.
Definitely blurs the lines from the opposite direction. I'd argue the Serrato or Dakar make those respective cars more usable (even in a daily driving scenario), whereas this RR SV becomes less usable than it's base variant.
Can’t see this being dynamically better, more fuel efficient or as roomy as my Panamera ST turbo S. To each their own I guess
Carwow very recently tested the new Range Rover Sport SV and it already had to visit the repair shop for a failure of the transfercase.
Land Rover has consistently been building unreliable vehicles. Never change Land Rover 🤣🤣🤣
😅😂😂
Hey hegrty I love your video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hope u don't delete this one.
Was going to say just that lol
Wait… why did they re-upload this?
Nice to see Henry, but this vehicle could hardly be more boring.
Excellent luxurious machine Range Rover
I don't understand the appeal...not my bag. Maybe if I need to take my living room with me when I go to market.
I definitely don’t believe they’re sold out unless they were selling an extremely low inventory
Perhaps they're being stolen as fast as they leave the dealers?
There will only be 675 Range rover sport SV Edition 1s in the world. In 2025,26 the regular sport SV will come out with a slightly lower price tag and there will be more built then
As of now however, it's completely sold out. The ones that have been put up for sale go for around 280k to 350k euros depending on the country.
There are enough soccer-mums out there with loads of extra cash (gold-digger alert) that would buy this pointless masterpiece.
Because car companies need to respect the total fleet emission quota by government and / or by making this a limited series, they can ask way more for it. It really is a strategy these days.
4:16 I visual depiction of how scary ownership will be after warranties expire.
Honestly if you want this buy a used Aston Martin DBX or a X6M, paying so much for an X5 50i engine makes no sense to me I love Range Rover and I think the hybrid version is the best version
This is the M5 engine though, S63, not the N63 50i
the guy who owns your local petrol station and tyre fitter will love to see you....often...
Play the ranger rover lottery - Which will happen first…
1)break down,
Or
2)it gets stolen
😂😂
Suspension from McLaren is too glamorous , the crafty 1996 Citroen Xantia Activa is the correct source.
The Xantia Activa was more mechanical. The 6D setup isn't all that different to what is in the McLaren, with zero anti-roll bars, and the diagonally linked suspension.
The best part is the enormous depreciation on Range Rovers makes this purchase affordable in about 2 years.
Your maintenance costa however will never depreciate. They are in fact the only pary of a rangerover that gains value!
Very true! For all the hate on Tesla fit and finish, at least their cars are near bulletproof and maintenance free. I wish the Range Rover could give up a few marks on "quality" to gain more "reliability".@@myhandlewastakenandIgaveup
Taking your sport SUV to a track day is like trying to fit into skinny jeans after a buffet binge - you’ll struggle to squeeze in, and the results won’t be pretty.
That’s what I want in my SUV. Track performance… 🙄
Lululemon Chai Latte sipping Corgi mums won't be able to tell the difference in performance.
It’s the jump in price over the previous SVR model. ~£60k. That’s a lot. It’s a superb car, I’d have one over the Aston DBX any day of the week. Better looking without a doubt. And still a genuine off roader.
Get rid of the box on the chassis and substitute a GT body and it would be interesting. Also, ditch the huge TV.
Who in their right mind would take a range rover to a track?😂
Yes please.
This video has been already uploaded before. Like if you knew.
It strikes me that adding complication to range rover suspension is just going to end up expensive for the next owner, given their notorious reliability issues, and that's if it doesn't sting the first owner.
Exactly!
Build a 2,5t car to offer weight saving carbon rims for the extra cost of a small second hand city car. I must be too poor to comprehend this marketing strategy.
Land rover making a track car...........lol...........how many have broken down???
May I suggest a cayenne turbo..........any takers.
Bring back the old engine! That was the real interesting thing of the car!
Engine? Did we not talk about the new engine in the car? or did I miss it?
You missed it....
no where in this video does he talk about the SV using a 4.4-liter twin-turbo BMW V-8, but with this now making peaks of 626hp and 590lb-ft@@Jon-em4kc
Buy an X5M if you want something like this which has security 😂
Wow
It’s commendable what they’ve achieved with such a large vehicle, but I still really don’t get this ongoing trend by car companies to make SUVs ‘sporty’. SUVs are marketed to and mainly bought by families as ‘people carriers’. 99.9% of the time they are used to drop the kids off at school, go grocery shopping, family road trips and towing a trailer. I’d highly doubt that even the remaining 0.1% of drivers would take them to a track day or cruise a B road for the sake of a sporty drive.
Adding a ‘Sport’ badge to something like an SUV will make it sound cooler than the standard version to a lot of buyers so they’ll feel they need to buy that one in order to get the better handling version even though they’ll drive it no different to a non sport version.
It is impressive that this hulking great car can move but let’s be real, no Range Rover Sport owner is ever going to drive it like this.
I agree, but I don't want a car that is not "sporty" whatever its size. I dislike the ride height but at least I don't need to worry about clearance from snow etc. as well as having room for a family trip across Europe, while enjoying the way it drives. Take away the aspect of how it feels to drive and I lose any interest in driving.
Henry another great one from you and Hagerty you should run TopGear US with Jason and Randy. Range Rover should make land yachts not racing SUVs ;)
Does it include a free Tow Truck subscription at purchase
Why? Why not I suppose.
Drive it like you stole it.. someone will
Need two, one for the day while the other is at the mechanic’s shop.
I will never ever understand the concept of ridiculously expensive and fast SUV's. Yes, I understand the market...I understand fat guys with cash who just want the image....I understand the primitive urge to just slam the gas and be quick in a traffic-light-drag race. But honestly, they are pointless. Too big, too heavy, too expensive, too inefficient..... First corner you go through, you feel the massive weight of that oil-ship you call a car wanting to go through the guardrail....it's just awful. And with all that being said - they depreciate ridiculously fast.
SUV's have their purpose....and it's something akin to a Jeep, Landcruiser, Jimny, those sort of things.
Sportscars also have their purpose...to be quick, nimble, agile, fast, zippy....LIGHT. No horsepower can fix massive weight. If it could - no go-karts would ever be as fun as they are.
All that being said...another great Hagerty video. Henry is awesome.
Ridiculous, but fun.
✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
For why?!?
Imagine curbing one of those wheels 😳
oopsie daisy
You mean, “Leased Out!”
Struggling to understand why you wouldn't just buy a dedicated track car and a fast daily driver. Because lets be honest, no sv will ever go off road unless its in journalists hands.
If you don't mind a new engine every track day
the base 911 does 0-60 in 3.2s.
can it carry 5 adults in comfort too?🤔
@@waichungsham1578 that's not the point. He said this is faster than "a 911". The cheapest 911 is still faster, so no. You know what car carries 5 people and does a faster 0-60 time? a Model Y performance for 1/3 of the price of the RR. Again, not the point. RR's have never been fast. They at least sounded awesome, but this... is just meh.
Probably worth half the list price after all them getting nicked and nobody can insure them!
The world’s biggest brake callipers?
Henry, you're gonna get ticks from trodding through the bush.
Who is going to insure them
Thats a fast bmw
The only thing faster is the depreciation.
So, the engine, while quite powerful, is just not......Angry. Ok, I can live with that. 😎
Hahaha someone goofed and uploaded this before the embargo a few days ago
Looks awesome until usual LR issues show themselves and it’s in the shop for a month at a time 😂
Until electrical glitches keep it in the garage...
Sold out you say? Great news for the thieves.
ITS A BMW M5 ENGINE.. THAT'S THE ONLY REASON ITS GOOD. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thats the point 🤷♂️
X5M engine cranked up in a Land Rover 🤔 pretty cool. Tata motors stopping their game up
I’m pretty sure Land Rover could let the journalists drive this and sing its praises then save money by just selling a car that looks the same as no buyer is ever gonna drive it on track. These r purchased by posers and drug dealers ffs
None of the cars blurs the lines: it is marketing for the silly and a lack of direction that marks many aspects of the current society. The Dakar and the Sport SV are both anomalies but if people want to spend (For the RR the word is more like wasting not applicable to the Porsche which I suspect will retain its value if not appreciating over time...if kept locked like most will...) their cash on this much nonsense then it is their problem...
SUVs are the opposite of sporty. And then manufacturers try to sportify them. It's dumb, but people eat it up.
Can't wait to see them out at my local track.
Why people buy new Range Rovers is totally mystifying unless they own a towing company.
Seriously……why does this exist? It’s not going to be as good as a standard car for off road and it’s inferior to something like an M3 estate on road. Yea….nah not for me.
It exists because there is a public that will buy it, if you are land rover, why would you turn your back to a large segment of the public with lots of money, just because a minority is asking for MuH WaGOnS
Having had an e90 m3 and an X5m I agree with you that the M3 is certainly more dynamic and better on road than a “super SUV.” That said, the X5m was genuinely fun to drive, faster than my m3 and could deal with snow and some light off-roading where the m3 was hopeless in snow (long story, was only car and had to and it was quite the white knuckle drive). I think the absurdity of what the suv could do and its exaggerated dynamics with its high seating position led to a more “silly” fun driving experience.
Simple explanation, wealthy people need things to spend money on.
I think it’s more also to show their new suspension design, if SVO can do this now with an SUV, imagine what they can do with a sportier car
I really wanted this to be special, as it’d be a nice upgrade for my facelift f-pace svr, but all the reviews are a bit disappointing, and the baulk of it seems to be around that bmw engine. It’s hard to go to a turbo v8 after owning an AJV8, and bmw arguably have the worst sounding v8 of the German trio. Once Aston put the vantage/db12 interior in a facelift dbx, I think this thing at the money LR want will be make it obsolete
Consider a Cayenne Turbo (GTS if you don't need the space) and a DBX 707 if you want interior of another level. Neither as raucous as the Jag 5L V8, but nothing is.
Welcome to another episode of Harry’s Garage 😄
Easiest car to steal lol the insurance (if you can even insure it) is more expensive than the car payment
The eternal dilemma - great engine or great chassis - I'd stick with the previous SVR.
$180k??? No thank you. And if it can go off the road, show us more. Didn't prove its off road prowess in this video.
Range Rover need to worrie about the 0-10 year reliability times.
Again?
Those who know, know.
Glad you're all so on top of our videos! Thanks for watching. ☺️
🫣😉
It was looking good until you showed me the suspension, and you know that someone like Sam crack will be slagging it off in the next year or so😂😂😂
Yes..they do blur the lines. All these fast suvs or even electric suvs are now in sports and almost supercar territory. I would ask though..why would you want this? At what point did a car enthusiast when younger dream of the day they have a supercharged ..brick. its looks not bad...for a 4x4. If you want a big nice luxury car to pose ..buy a normal RR. If you want performance buy a bloody performance looking car! These sorts of vehicles ..or the people buying them are ruining the sporty parts/areas of manufacturers.
This review disappeared on me before
