Most powerful Range Rover ever unleashed

Land Rover has announced the introduction of the Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic for 2017.

It’s the most powerful (and dynamic) Range Rover ever thanks to the addition of the bonkers 542bhp, 5.0-litre supercharged V8 petrol engine lifted straight from the Range Rover Sport SVR and Jaguar F-Type.

Land Rover says its will deliver “the ultimate combination of performance and handling without compromising Range Rover’s peerless comfort and refinement”. All we know is that it’s capable of a 0-60mph time of 5.1 seconds and a 140mph top speed.

The raucous 3.0-litre V6 supercharged petrol engine, also from the F-Type, will be available too. It achieves a 0-60mph time of 7.1 seconds.

The new ‘Dynamic’ spec gives a sportier driving experience with revisions to the suspension and an 8mm lower ride height.

You’ll be able to spot the Dynamic model by its chrome quad tailpipes, graphite-coloured exterior detailing, red Brembo brakes and unique alloy wheels. The plush interior includes diamond quilted leather seats, contrast stitching and a “knurled finish” rotary shift controller and pedals.

That’s not all, the Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic will also receive a suite of advanced semi-autonomous driving technologies and connected-car technology.

Available from late 2016, prices for the 2017 Range Rover range will start at £76,350 for the TDV6 Vogue, with the SVAutobiography Dynamic coming in at £132,800.
