MUSCAT : The Range Rover Sport SV has made history, setting a blistering 2:20.405-minute lap time at Yas Marina Circuit, claiming the title of the fastest SUV and four-door production vehicle to ever conquer the iconic track.

This record-breaking achievement reaffirms Range Rover’s commitment to performance-driven luxury, pushing the boundaries of engineering and innovation. Behind the wheel for this historic moment was accomplished Emirati racing driver Saeed Al Mheiri, who maximized the full potential of Range Rover’s most powerful and dynamically capable SUV to date.

Unparalleled Power and Performance

At the heart of the Range Rover Sport SV is a commanding 635PS 4.4-litre twin-turbo mild-hybrid V8 engine, delivering 750Nm of torque and launching from 0-100km/h in just 3.8 seconds. This powerhouse is the most potent engine ever fitted to a Range Rover, ensuring an exhilarating blend of speed and refinement.

“This record-breaking performance reflects the Range Rover Sport SV’s unmatched capabilities. It sets new benchmarks for high-performance SUVs, proving that luxury and extreme performance can go hand in hand. At MHD ACERE, we are proud to bring such exceptional vehicles to the Omani market, offering our customers an unrivaled driving experience both on and off the track.” – Mr. Mohsin Hani Al Bahrani, CEO, MHD ACERE.

Innovative Engineering for Supreme Dynamics

The world-first 6D Dynamics hydraulic interlinked suspension plays a crucial role in the Range Rover Sport SV’s track dominance. By eliminating pitch and roll, this revolutionary system keeps the SUV near-level during hard acceleration, aggressive cornering, and rapid deceleration, ensuring supreme stability and agility.

The Brembo Carbon Ceramic Brakes, featuring the largest 440mm carbon ceramic front discs ever fitted to a production SUV, provide unmatched stopping power and fade resistance. Meanwhile, 23-inch Carbon Fiber Wheels reduce unsprung mass by 76kg, enhancing responsiveness and precision handling.

Aerodynamic Excellence Meets Cutting-Edge Luxury

Designed for both high-speed capability and everyday usability, the Range Rover Sport SV comes fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 4 tyres, specifically engineered to optimize handling and performance. For those seeking enhanced track performance, the Michelin Pilot Sport S5 summer tyres will soon be available in the MENA region.

Every detail of the Range Rover Sport SV has been crafted for aerodynamics and presence. From the sculpted carbon fibre bonnet and quad tailpipe finishers to the SV Performance seats, this vehicle exudes sporting luxury. The industry-first Body and Soul Seat system introduces haptic vibrations synchronized to music, creating an immersive sensory experience that redefines in-car enjoyment.

Redefining the High-Performance SUV Segment

The Range Rover Sport SV’s groundbreaking lap at Yas Marina Circuit is not just a record—it’s a revolution. With world-class engineering, innovative suspension technology, and precision braking, it proves that an ultra-luxurious SUV can also dominate on the track.
