I'll be able to answer some more specific questions on here after Thursday but rest assured that functionality (towing etc) will remain unchanged as we've engineered the SVR bumpers etc to facilitate that. Equally where there is a requirement for unique parts compared to core, we've covered that off.

What about seat cooling/massage on those seats?

Also, where did the fog lights go?

Seats I'll be able to answer after the reveal on Thursday. As for the fog lights, I'd have thought the need for more cooling would explain that particular query?

I have the same in mine but the heavily grained leather has proved quite durable if not especially soft. I've never heard it called Windsor leather though (Slough comes more to mind) and I feel certain the SVR leather will be much better.

Just checked the order and brochure of the time - Dynamic had 'grained leather' whilst Prestige and Dynamic+ had Oxford. 

Yes, Oxford is clearly better than the basic stuff in the Evoque Dynamic (which I have been happy enough with given where it sits but the Oxford does look a bit saggy in the Evoque. Better in the RRS and I expect Windsor better again.

I'm assuming the back seats still fold forwards, some sort of centre rear arm-rest; can that centre head restraint be removed to improve rear visibility?

I suppose what we need in due course is a list of what comes as standard and the options available on the SVR and what's now removed - I'd missed the fog lamps, for example. I suppose rear fog lights are a homologation requirement but presumably not front ones.

Full size spare wheel with the 22s?

Hopefully, we'll find out a lot more over the new few weeks. For now, I think it's fab. Mark

SVR in Estoril Blue

I love the look of the SVR...... but £100k .....not on your nelly!

Also, anyone else think the rear (which I like incidently) looks a little X5 ish? ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

I don't see the resemblance to X5 apart from the very bottom centre area which is too small to matter IMHO. However, even if it did look like an X5 that wouldn't be a bad thing from my point of view because (at the risk of being shot down) I like the look of X5 too.

I am not bothered by the price tag - could just remortgage the house if I wanted one

I expect there' seat heating, I also think there may be seat cooling but I don't expect the massage option. We'll see... Mark

SVR in Estoril Blue

I've surprised myself in thinking that the car looks better without the privacy glass:



Thats three tanks of fuel saved. 

Three tanks of fuel saved, l I like it.  SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

I've had this from my dealer ref SVR:

The RRS SVR is available to order quarter 4 this year, so from October/November onwards, £93450.00 on the road without any options. Our first vehicles should be delivered around May of 2015.

Below are main options that are not possible to be selected on the SVR.

5+2 Seat Option.
Rear Seat Entertainment
Full Size Spare SOLD - 15 plate Estoril SVR

SOLD - 64 plate Aleutian Silver Supercharged

SOLD - 63 plate Corris SDV6 Autobiography

Very nice motor!

Probably not quite the bracket I want to be going to but may have to get a test drive on this when my local dealer does get one! Never intended to go for a RRS until jumped in a friends and tried it, so who knows.

Many on here got their names down?

Not yet, but when I actually see it.........???? I'd better not go and have a look

Obviously the dealers are starting to send out details then.... Quite looking forward to seeing the Pebble Beach pics
