RE: Overfinch turns SVR wick up to Supersports

[ntiz]

Does anyone know if someone actually tunes these properly?

Surely that engine with a bigger supercharger, exhaust etc could go to 700bhp without to much trouble?

Would be cool to have full fat Range Rover in a classy spec with that kind of power.

Such a shame

Overfinch used to be all about the unseen power and handling improvements, with subtle body tweaks to compliment.

This just looks like those dogs dinners that KAHN and BESPOKE seem to churn out for the hard of thinking meatheads

Brabus G Wagon surely is better value for money....

Shows the bolt ons are hardly effective!

pity, especially when an aftermarket flash map on its on will yield

575 bhp
535 lbs/ft of torque


as said surely a bigger supercharger intakes and a decent cooler would see it well over 600bhp which is a much better headline figure

WHAT !

£260,000?

For some plastic bits and extra tat?

Surely this is the one vehicle, maybe even the one thread on the whole of PH going back to the beginning of the internet on which every single poster will be in total agreement. It's a fking ludicrously overpriced monstrosity.

[Schmeeky]

Remembering back to when they put 5.7l Chevy engines into unsuspecting Vogues to make discrete weapons, this is an anathema. Fair enough the SVR has a decent bit of go to start with, but....

I do like the wheels though, a hint of dish to counter the modern trend of flat-faced diamond cut ste!

Shouldn't a real 2019 Overfinch be a Hellephant engined FFRR with a gun box in the boot. Since when Overfinch became a body kits and interior trim provider???

[Rich Boy Spanner]

I wonder if (or when) there will be a time when ghastly things like this will suddenly become unfashionable and a whole new industry will appear buying stuff like this for relative pennies, and transforming them back into the very decent looking car they originally are before being molested.

[Roger Irrelevant]

I can see at least two places on the bodywork where you could place a 100mm square and not cover any part of a vent, intake or other adornment - they clearly haven't tried hard enough with this design.

Bring me a RR Classic with a 570 conversion please. Dark green metallic with tan.
And won't somebody clean up this vomit...

I have to say, this pretty much sums it up. The cringe is strong in this one...

[Rogue86]

Awful. Looks like their photography is getting cheaper too...

I do like modifying and some nail on carbon tat can be fun at times, but I don't think this is the sort of car that benefits from those kinds of racy exterior additions.

Some of the bits and bobs I don't mind, the bumpers are fussy with extra vents, scoops, etc. but okay I guess, no worse than some factory cars these days. The rear wing isn't all that offensive and I quite like the interior to be fair. I find the carbon bonnet quite unpleasant though, and since when have stick-on wheelarch trims been good for anything other than hiding arch rust on a 25 year old XJ or E class?

The price of all this is genuinely shocking, but as someone who's most expensive ever car purchase is £2.5k, I am hardly the target market. I know it's a sweeping cliche, but I think they'll be some young guys that kick balls for a living, or have an oil sultan within the family, who are going to be really into this.

Not quite sure why people are getting quite so antsy about this. The difference between this and the SVR is minimal from a design perspective.

Slightly deeper sill, couple of bumper vents and some daft but small arch extensions. Hardly 'oh my eyes....crashed through Halfords'.

....unless of course it is just standard irrational SUV hatred....








Now cost....that's balmy. But if there's a market.....

[Leins]

Even the gun dogs wouldn't be seen in one of these

[Welshman Adam]

I came here for the comments, and I've not been disappointed.

Thank you all for brightening up a dull day at the office.

Because for this minimal difference they want an extra 160 grand ? its a new exhaust, brakes, some carbon bits, new wheels a re-trim and a remap of unspecified power increase,

I know stuff like that is expensive, but 160 grand, over two and a half times the price of the base vehicle ? wonder what the breakdown is.


I quite like the SVR, one on our road, sounds epic.
