How quiet is it ?!

I actually wanted a much quieter SVR lol.

Gutted as I ordered an SDV8 mainly because I didn't want that much noise

Nobody had a demonstrator or even one to look at in the flesh!

Put it in Dynamic, exhaust valves open and sport+ sounds the same as old one, also what size are those wheels, as ive got those on order as well but they look tiny on it?

Lee,

Congrats! I collected my SVR today (a day earlier than planned as my dealer may be closed tomorrow due to the weather) but will post pics tomorrow but my initial thoughts:

I just drove mine a few miles home, parked her up and went for a couple of beers 😊

Seats: look so much better in the flesh than the pics and are much more comfortable than the previous SVR.

Wheels: again, much better looking than in the flesh - they have a nice sculptured look to them. Much, much nicer than the previous SVR in my opinion.

Bonnet - gorgeous! I was really worried about how this would look and from a distance in particular, it looks super beefy!

Infotainment - there is far, far too much going on and too many unnecessary settings / controls. Maybe I am just an old git but I just want to drive, use a phone occasionally, navigation and listen to the radio or some music. What on earth is all of the other stuff all about?

Steering Wheel: my biggest worry was about the two tone cirrus / ebony wheel. Jury is out if I will get used to it.

The sound: it is definitely different to the previous SVR as the mid section of the exhaust has been completely changed. My son has driven several low milage SVRs and also thinks the same. Still sounds nice but clearly, I have only driven mine a few miles.

Hi Jas,

Agree with everything you have said above, even the beers! The right hand temp dial sometimes reverts back to displaying the heated seat setting as opposed to displaying the temperature, have you had this problem?

Thanks

Hi Lee,

I just drove mine the few miles back from the dealer and locked her up in my garage.

Will check when I take her out.

The only issue I had was that when connecting my phone, it would not download my contacts. I know there is an "on / off" selection if you want to download them and I did have the function switched on.

Will also post a couple of pics shortly.

Just stunning Jas, those wheels are lovely, pictures do not do them justice.

Hey i like the Brembo,s SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

Thanks Paul.

And yes, my pictures are dreadful. If Lee doesn't mind me hijacking his post with pics of mine, I will get post some of her next week after she has had the Crystal Serum treatment.

I got the brembos painted Estoril Blue and I think the Brembo stickers look better than the Range Rover logo that comes with the MY18.

Cheers

No worries JPR. My dealer arranged this for me.

Several months ago he had an FFRR SV Autobiography in the showroom and that had Brembo logo'd calipers and they looked super. The dealer has a chap at Poshwash in Park Lane who does this for Stratstone and the guy painted them Factory Estoril Blue and applied the Brembo stickers at the same time.
