Range Rover Sport SVR Prototype revealed as most powerful Land Rover ever (video)

The new Range Rover Sport SVR Prototype (above) is heading for Goodwood What were Land Rover to call the new, powerful, range-topping Range Rover Sport from the new Special Operations division, we wondered. Well, wonder no more – it’s the Range Rover Sport SVR.

Peugeot RCZ R UK price from £31,995

The new Peugeot RCZ R (pictured) will cost £31,995 in the UK The Peugeot RCZ is an appealing little sports coupe from Peugeot which, with a different badge and greater performance, might garner more kudos than it does. There’s little Peugeot can do about the badge, but they have done something about the power on offer with the arrival of the RCZ R at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this summer. Now, the Peugeot RCZ is about to go on sale in the UK – order books open on 18th November – and it will cost a not unreasonable £31,995.

Mercedes SLS AMG Electric Drive sets Nurburgring production EV record

The Mercedes SLS AMG ED (pictured) set a new EV lap record at the Nurburgring Just as Audi decides that the R8 e-Tron isn’t a production viable option, Mercedes decides to prove there is potential for electric cars at the very high end. The Mercedes SLS AMG Electric Drive has been to the Nurburgring and set a new lap record for a production electric car of just 7 minutes 55 seconds. The SLS AMG ED, which goes on sale very soon at more than £300k, may weigh a chunk more than a regular SLS (550kg more), but it gets plenty of help from its four electric motors – one at each corner – to overcome the weight of its batteries with 751bhp and 737lb/ft of torque on hand.
