Picked it up this morning, it really is an F-Type R in a Range Rover Sport body. The seat shells are straight out of one. And I think it might be just as loud as the SLS at full throttle, maybe louder.

New game: how long before the exhaust crackles begin to annoy the neighbors?

That's the best part, there's an electronic butterfly valve to keep it quiet when you want it to be.

That’s pretty cool. Maybe you could do a comparison of the sound when it’s open and closed?

So it’s like an F-Type without the best part of an F-Type...

Hehe, until they make a five passenger F-type, I'm satisfied.

Sure you can keep it quiet if you want to but the real question is: Why would you want to?

I don’t :D

And I can now confirm that it is noticeably louder than a M159 AMG engine with the loud button on and the throttle fully depressed. I would not be surprised to look under it and see side dumps.

Does it sound like this? Or is it at least as loud as this?

If so then the SVR replaces the Cayenne as my favourite luxury-performance SUV.

It sounds almost identical to the F-Type, but it’s slightly deeper. I think the exhaust may be a bit longer and so the sound is a bit different.

So, did you get green or gray Land Rover badges?

Oh man that sounds beastly. I want.

Black badges and the loud button is key :O

Yep, this is all sorts of nice. Congrats!

The SVR is supposedly a little bit louder than the f type r.
