RE: Range Rover Sport SVR: Review
Discussion
I really like the standard sport. This (especially in white) looks awful, but guess the intended audience probably think it looks great.
I wonder if LR will supply a steering wheel lock as standard?
Virtually every parked current series Range Rover / RRS in London now has these fitted...

My brother in laws had his for a week and loves it to bits! The noise is definitely an abiding memory!! How something that big can drive so well, without ruining the ride, is beyond me! 15mpg is on the slightly pessimistic side but his last one didn't venture too much past 20. If you have the means it's a serious piece of kit! 
Interesting to see one in Corris Grey as the vast majority of UK orders are for Estoril Blue.Epic car.

This may have overtaken the RS6 as the ultimate all rounder.
thats my conclusion too, I had an RS6 and its downside in winter was lack of ground clearance, hence ive had a RRS the last few years as a daily driverthis new RRS really takes it to another level, I cant wait for a few years depreciation to do its thing and the 5.0 will be £35K in no time

I like it a lot for weekdays and family stuff, but in some perverse way I like having a crap weekday car to make the weekend one seem better.
Bingo! After a week commuting in a 13 year old Golf, getting in the Porsche or Range Rover at the weekend does make them seem very awesome. 
I've had mine - blue with all black interior - for nearly 3 weeks and 1000 miles and it's a quite extraordinary car in terms of the breadth of purpose it serves. Quiet and refined on a motorway cruise, it has real performance and attitude when you want it. Of course, it's not the only car a petrolhead needs - I have a 991 GT3, a turbo and a Ferrari for that - but it ticks more boxes than I ever thought possible. There's a hard to define feelgood factor which you simply do not get in a Cayenne. When you want to play, select Dynamic Chassis mode, Sports Drivetrain mode and Sports Exhaust and it's endlessly entertaining to drive, like a rabid dog. A great car and even if you don't "get" SUVs, you should be glad it exists. Top Job Land Rover!
.... and with 7 seat option too, which the RS6 cant do nor the Porsche Cayenne.
Man maths applied I think this vehicle could easily be justified on many levels for the £100k dream garage......
- Every day shopping / commuting car
- offroader
- long distance motorway eater
- Winter weather eater
- 7 seater wagon
- fun car to hussle along not so narrow winding roads
- executive limo

Harry Metcalfe has just posted a video about it over at his You Tube channel Harry`s Garage. For good measure he pottered about the fields on his farm and through a couple of streams, to show it could, as well as opening it up on the road. It seems it has an exceptionally helpful torque curve - though he says the engineers described it as shaped more like a breeze block.
Evidently they are enjoying themselves at JLR`s SVO.
