Land Rover has announced that its most powerful Range Rover to date will be going on sale by the end of this year. It’s called the SVAutobiography Dynamic and features a mighty 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine with 550bhp.

With prices starting from £132,800, the model was created by Land Rover’s new Special Vehicle Operations division. That means the rip-roaring Range Rover shares its engine with the Range Rover Sport SVR so has a 0-60mph sprint time of 5.1 seconds.

With a revised suspension set-up to handle the added power the car sits half-an-inch lower than the standard model. It also features electronic Dynamic Response and Adaptive Dynamics systems to improve body control – and is the first Range Rover to feature red brake Brembo calipers.

High performance styling traits include a quad exhaust system and the car is available with a choice of 21 or 22-inch alloys.
