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.

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.

Ues, and I did say the cost balmy (But if there's a market.....)...but most of the negative comments are about the looks. Worse than Mansory et al? It's as if the anti-SUV brigade see and SUV thread and just regurgitate the same old tired ste bhing, without actually looking/reading let alone driving the cars they have so much irrational hatred for.

I'm with you on the SVR, I think it looks and sounds fabulous. If I can justify £100k next time round, that's on my radar.

I see your point. The problem is it is extremely overpriced. All the add-ons probably doesn't even cost more than £5k for a near £150k profit for overfinch.
I guess they have a market why they can flog them at that price.

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.....

[Ares]

Cost, I totally get. But hell, if their target market will pay, why wouldn't you?? "Never begrudge another man his dollar"

....but most comments on this thread are about the looks.

Nice wheels, shame about the face.

I’d still have one though, with a lottery win

I imagine the cost is a lot more for that lot than 5k, but can t see 160k.

The standard SVR is the biggest expression of trash with cash wealth I’ve ever seen, at least a bentagya and a Cullen and even the normal Range Rover can be had in a classy spec but the SVR is so disgustingly crass. God knows why anyone buys it’s other than it’s the most expensive on the price list. Carbon bonnet. VOM

Even if I had that kind of cash to spend its still the Jeep trackhawk for me.

[G13NVL]

If I had the cash I would, then on my way to the showroom veer off and buy a f150 raptor! £260k though is outrageous

What’s worse then? Even a all black G Wagen or Hurrican isn’t as bad as a SVR

The front and rear bumper designs are !!!! love it.

No, he's right, it's ghastly. An affront to taste. The Overfinch version just adds humour.

Anything with a chrome wrap.
Anything with a bright wrap.
Any Supercar being driven/revved repeatedly up/down a high-street
Any aftermarket modified car
Anything with wheels several inches bigger than OEM
Anything with more chrome on
Anything gold externally
Anything from Kahn/Mansory/et al
Any £100k+ car that has been 'styled' to look better.
Anything with more than two exterior colours
Camo wrap
Animal print wrap
Melon wrap

etc

This above list reads like a bunch of fun and interesting things to do with cars, even if some of the cosmetic stuff isn't my cup of tea. The thing with good taste is that it can be quite boring at times, I'm quite partial to seeing some wild and wacky motors out there, variety is the spice of life, etc.
