On
the outside, the award-winning mid-size SUV features include a new front bumper
with larger air intakes to feed the V8 Supercharged engine and cool the uprated
braking system. A new grille and lower side mouldings combine with a revised
rear bumper featuring integrated quad exhaust finishers.
The
exterior changes combine with a transmission tunnel undertray to ensure the
fastest Velar in the range cuts through the air more efficiently. Even the
Range Rover lettering on the bonnet and tailgate has been enhanced, with a
knurled finish on the metal element of the two-piece letters adding a fresh
degree of sophistication to the exterior.
The
special touches inside extend to the unique sports steering wheel, which
features a specially contoured rim and tactile aluminium gear shift paddles.
Lower down, the rotary gear selector and circular control dials for the
seamlessly integrated Touch Pro Duo infotainment system all feature a
sophisticated knurled finish. An optional carbon fibre pack for the interior
adds a more contemporary feel to the cabin, with a distinctive steel weave,
while sports pedals and illuminated metal tread plates with Range Rover script
complete the look.
The
individual SV elements extend to the 31.24 cm (12.3 inches) Interactive Driver
Display featuring unique ‘digitally knurled’ dials which deliver an expertly
handcrafted sense and finish to the digital experience inside the mid-size SUV
and a bespoke SVAutobiography Dynamic start-up screen. This digital detailing
continues with the electronics that underpin the driving characteristics of the
new flagship Velar model.
Calibrations
for the AWD system, Active Rear Locking Differential, eight-speed transmission,
steering and air suspension have all been honed and are bespoke to the
SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition; delivering a more focused driving experience.
Engineers at Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations spent 63 900 hours
fine-tuning the unique calibration to optimise the ride, handling and
responsiveness.
