Oxford Diecast 76RRS001 Range Rover Sport SVR Setoril Blue.

Jaguar Land Rover launched their new Range Rover Sport SVR (Special Vehicle Racing) 4 x 4 in 2015. It was BIG in all respects. It was the first product from the company’s new in-house performance division; it was the fastest Land Rover ever produced with a 542 bhp 5.0L V8 engine; acceleration of 0-62 mph in 4.5 seconds with a maximum speed of 175.8 mph; it features every comfort and refinement known to the motoring man; and it’s big on price with a top end tag of just under £100,000, although you might get away with a slightly lower spec at £87,000. But, on the downside, fuel consumption is a mere 16 mpg around town but a bit better ex-urban at 29 mpg, around 22 mpg combined.

In the meantime, we’re sticking to the superb 1:76 scale brand new Oxford replica, painted in one of the signature colour schemes of the real thing – a bright blue with black interior and external trim. Registered LC15 HBF, it represents the year of the actual launch vehicle in 2015. The superbly finished wheels have caused comment on the real-life vehicle regarding their low profile format rather than the dirt, snow and mud busting kit we normally associate with the marque’s previous 4 x 4 motors. All said, it’s pretty impressive!
