Jaguar Land Rover’s SVO division: four extraordinary creations… so far

“Special Vehicle Operations”. Sounds like some sort of gadget-crazy division one might find in a James Bond film, doesn’t it?

Well, while this unit is most certainly British, it’s actually a genuine business branch of the Jaguar Land Rover group. And its main task is to build a bunch of drool-inducing halo vehicles.

Run from a dedicated technical centre on the outskirts of Coventry, the special operations division employs some 150 experts to think up and bolt together high-end luxury bespoke commissions and extreme performance vehicles.
