Coupled with bespoke enhancements to the chassis, the SVR delivers more dynamic handling. The engineers focused on controlling pitch under heavy acceleration and braking, and the damping hardware is tuned to provide exceptional turn-in, mid-corner grip and body control.

The re profiled front bumper design has vents to improve brake cooling and the performance brake pads and discs provide enhanced performance at higher temperatures

Body-coloured detailing at the rear and an SVR badge in place of the Land Rover oval also help to identify the SVR.
