    Land Rover Defender SVR In The Works and It May Use BMW V8

    Exclusive rendering for Auto Express

    Land Rover revealed the all-new, retro-looking Defender last month but a new report from AutoExpress indicates we could get a high-performance SVR variant within the next 18 months.

    The report suggests that there is already a prototype running around at the base in Gaydon with the Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) crew focusing on developing some proper competition to the Mercedes-AMG G63.

    It’s expected to be called Defender SVR and powering the hot variant is said to be a V8 coming from JLR technical partner BMW. The companies have already confirmed they’ll be working together on electric powertrains. However, a deal has apparently also been agreed that will see BMW’s 4.4-litre replace JLR’s ageing Ford-sourced V8.

    This V8 is expected to make its way into the new Jaguar F-Type and the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport offerings. The 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 sitting in the new X5 M Competition and X6 M Competition produces a whopping 625 hp (460 kW) but it will produce closer to 500 hp in the fiery Defender.

    AutoExpress had some very slick renderings done of the Defender SVR giving us a digital look of the hot makeover.

    Officially, the Defender SVR isn’t on Land Rover’s future model plan, but insiders say we could see the hot version of the Defender towards the end of 2021.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
