I was under the general impression that the SVR wasn't out until next year, but I spotted one today in all its blue glory, along with a HUD. I think it looked fantastic, though the wife didn't like the blue so much

Lovely. Ebony/Cirrus interior too.

You are right, production starts January. 

love that colour

Perfect. DaveW, can you tell us what the position with the HUD is in terms of availability? Mark

SVR in Estoril Blue

HUD listed as being available from MY15.5 (Jan) which coincides with SVR. 

Is it on the configurator now? Mark

SVR in Estoril Blue

Not the UK one. 

Wouldn't it be nice if LR got their configurator act together? How can the HUD be available in goodness knows where but not 40 miles from the factory? Usual shambles. Mark

For the uneducated amongst us.....HUD??

They need to put that style ass on all the L494s. Then I would be very tempted, as it is, I still think it looks puny with the little chrome exhaust tips and the slightly pinched in look. I will see what happens at facelift time but I still think that the original RRS is better looking and more of an RR. Line up the Ewok, new DS a and RRS and they all look the same. Family cues are one thing in design but near clones.....

Must be a prototype - series production doesn't begin until January 9th and that's assuming it's on time. Maybe it's DaveW's car... Mark

SVR in Estoril Blue

Nope, it's not mine but is one of the pre production evaluation units run out of Solihull. That's got a Santorini roof and 21"s so I know that car.
As for HUD Mark, I don't know why its not on the configurator but I haven't been told its not in for launch; equally I'm Vehicle Engineering, not Sales so I can't say with 100% conviction it is in either; a different part of the company

Dave,
Just thinking about one of these . Is the suspension set up any different to the standard RRS2? I have an AB with 22 inch wheels, and while the ride is fine, I wouldn't like it to be any firmer. What will be the SVR with 21 inch wheels be like in comparison ?
