This is the 2024 Range Rover Sport SV, given a new heart compared to the previous version and new muscle to make the most of that heart. A 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 with a 48-volt mild hybrid system gets everyone up to speed. With 626 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque sent through an eight-speed automatic transmission, the BMW-sourced engine makes 59 hp and 37 lb-ft more than the old supercharged 5.0-liter V8. Now the most powerful Range Rover ever, the Range Rover Sport SV rips to 60 miles per hour in 3.6 seconds and hits a top speed of 180 mph. The bodywork changes like the updated front fascia not only distinguish the SV, they provide the improved cooling necessary for the engine. The remade side sills, carbon fiber tipped quad-exhaust, and carbon fiber details from front to back are just for show. The front splitter is doubly functional, being removable to increase the SUV's approach angle.
