The new‑generation Range Rover Sport, which already established its performance credentials by setting a record for SUVs climbing Pikes Peak (12 min, 35.61 sec.), generates even more excitement for 2015 with the introduction of the ultra‑performance Range Rover Sport SVR model. Created by the Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations team, the 2015 Range Rover Sport SVR is the highest‑performance Land Rover vehicle ever, capable of accelerating from 0‑60 mph in 4.5 seconds and achieving an electronically limited top track speed of 162 mph2.

Land Rover, which last year re‑powered the LR4 with a new supercharged V6 engine and 8‑speed automatic transmission, for 2015 has equipped this full‑capability luxury SUV with available Land Rover InControl® Apps and smartphone integration4. The new system brings the familiarity of compatible smartphone apps into the vehicle, with access from a connected phone through the standard touchscreen.
