The new Range Rover Sport SV is a wild car. It has possibly the broadest range of capabilities of any car on sale. Not only does it have all of the off-road ability that you'd expect from a Range Rover, it's also such a carbon-fibre wheeled, carbon-ceramic braked 626bhp V8-powered monster that Range Rover thinks it can hack it on a race circuit.
So we tried it on both - off-road, on race track, and of course on the road too, which will be the Range Rover Sport SV's more natural habitat.
This test is of the launch version of the car, the Edition 1, a limited-run variant that costs £185,360 before options, and there are a few of those.
So what's it to be, a Ford Ranger Raptor and a Caterham and a hundred grand change, or the new Sport SV Edition 1? Join Matt Prior as he tests the latest and greatest Range Rover. Full tech spec below. Enjoy.
