Even if you find the endless Nurburgring records a little tedious, you have to admit that this one is pretty impressive. The top-spec Range Rover - which is due to grace Land Rover showrooms with its imposing presence next year - has hauled its bulky SUV frame around the Green Hell in just 8 minutes and 14 seconds. Need a little context? That puts it in the same ballpark as cars like the Mercedes C63 AMG and the old E60 M5.

This monster is powered by the same 5.0-litre V8 you’ll find under the bonnet of various R-S Jaguars, here kicking out 542bhp. It’s thought that the SVR will do 0-62mph in just 4.5 seconds, and is almost certainly packing a plethora of suspension and braking upgrades to give it better on-road manners.
