Meet the ultra-exclusive new 2024 Range Rover Sport SV, and it has a different mission than the loud and flashy SVR. Bolder, sleeker, more refined, and more exclusive, the new RR Sport SV is a more luxurious take on performance and it truly is extensive with mods.
Under the skin are a new subframe, new suspension links front and rear, some aggressive rear camber, and a new 6D dynamics system where the air suspension is supported by hydraulically cross-linked dampers… Very McLaren esq no?
These replace anti-roll bars in a world-first usage to control both pitch and dive. The advanced hydraulic system sits at 35 bar of pressure, but in hardcore SV mode that increases to 53 bar, while heavy cornering can send that to 140 bar. Landing from a jump can see that spike to 270 bar.
We also find Brembo carbon ceramic brakes, optimal 23in carbon wheels, along with a carbon hood, wider fenders, carbon exhaust finishers, ceramic logos, and wild SV performance seats with a Body And Soul function to vibrate sound into your body.
It is said it will also be VERY exclusive at launch and likely over $150,000.
This system, however, can effectively put 2,300Nm into roll control and 4,000Nm into pitch control. JLR says the SV can pull 1.1g laterally, at which point it only has 3.5-4 degrees of lean. “In order to generate that speaks some chassis magic,” said Special Vehicles director Jamal Hameedi, particularly given it is a figure quoted on all-season tyres.
Whereas the previous SVR came with regular ‘summer’ tyres as standard, here the factory-fit tyres are all-season Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S – 285/40 R23s at the front and 305/35 R23s at the rear.
As well as off-road modes, there are different road-focused drive modes, including SV, which brings a further 15mm suspension drop. There’s also an electronically controlled rear differential (at times in sporty modes, the SV is effectively rear-driven) and active rear steer as standard. Lastly, the steering ratio has been quickened from 17.5:1 to 13.6:1.
