Still, to this day, the most exciting motor I have ever driven.

@mk2driver can you talk us through that big mad V8 engine? Seems quite the power plant.

Anything specific?

5.0L V8 supercharged. In current products it comes in 3 power levels : 510PS, 550PS and 575PS.

No real trick technology on it to be honest, just a big V8 with a good charging system. Very smooth power delivery and sounds great in all products.

In Range Rover Sport SVR you get the 550PS calibration which is obviously more aggressive than the base 510PS. The 575PS is current used in F-Type SVR and Project 7.

It's a great job and a great company to work for. Interacting with our products every day is fantastic for a petrolhead

If money was no object I would be having one of these as a daily. Stunning machine
