Difficult to read, a tad too verbose.

You'll be on first name terms with your local petrol station with this behemoth. I'm fairly certain RR could charge a lot more for these and not have any difficulty shifting them.

Yeah - I gave up half way through - It's a hugely fast, factory chavved up Range Rover Sport. That would have done.

A car dealer, who drops his kid off at school has been trying to sell one for ages - it looks much better in Royal blue than the one in the photo - and it sounds great.

Love it! I preferred the shot gun exhausts of the old model though, and I'd want it in black not those two tone finishes.

[David87]

Love the SVR and this model is an obvious improvement over the pre-facelift car, just not in horrible bonnet-spec. I’ll take mine in dark metallic green with everything else black, thanks. Oh, and cream seats.

I did find this picture of an SVR one once

I saw an SVR floor it on the A40 the other day and it sounded epic and really shifted, a more subtle one would be a fantastic car, although, like others have said already, I think I’d take an FFRR over one.

For £200 month you can lease a Golf R that will be faster on the road and better off road when fitted with winter tyres. It’s all in the tyres see.

Yes it’s vulgar, but they’re selling like hot cakes in the sandpit, Russia and China.

Rather like with Porsche and the Cayenne & Macan, the insane profits from these cars go into making the ones we enjoy driving.

Great bullying car. Can`t wait to have one right up my rear bumper.

Better off road? Seriously? You clearly don’t know where they’ll go on the standard tyres.

What about the all conquering M135i or is that too 2016?

The sort of car a certain bearded YouTube celebrity would have a wet dream over.

I applaud them more making such a vehicle, but it is vulgar to the extreme in my eyes, even in restrained spec.

Looks like a Project Khan't wannabe. Awful.

It will sell though, to the usual crowd, shaved head, fake tan gold tooth, sovereign ring etc.....and thats just the Mutton in the passenger seat.

Haha - spot on!

Can't for the life of me why you want to go so fast in these - a FFRR is a lovely thing to waft around in (and go off road if you're so inclined), and has plenty enough speed and sounds nice. What try and make this into something it isn't, dictated by the laws of physics?

Surely you haven’t been reading all winter tyre thread nonsense.

[cerb4.5lee]

There's an older one at my daughter's school and it's in a subtle grey colour, I only realised it was something special because I noticed the winged Recaros. Once I got to the rear obviously the exhausts stood out, they do sound amazing.

[Grantstown]

if you already have a multi exotic car garage then why not. If this isn't the case, then don't waste your hard earned money on this st. But something that's actually fun to drive.

You don't have to buy one in shouty, look-at-me dayglow colour. More sombre and subtle tones are available. A few moments on the configurator came up with this

Drug Dealer Edition? Needs moar tint.

The trick is to just stop reading articles by this hack. Works for me! Just jump into the thread and you will get most of the info you need from the comments section.
