Range Rover Arden Range Rover AR7 with 520Hp Twin-Supercharged V8

[PanterroR]

Arden’s latest development is the AR7 based on the Range Rover that features a series of mechanical and aesthetic upgrades. For starters, the German tuning firm enlarged the capacity of the Range Rover’s V8 engine from 4.2 to 4.5-liters and added a high performance twin screw supercharger. The V8’s output has been increased to an ample 520Hp with a maximum torque of 680Nm or 501.5 lbs-ft. Despite the impressive output, the AR7 manages a mediocre 6.5 sec for the 0 - 100 km/h (0-62mph) sprint. For example, the stock Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) in 5.5 sec.

In addition to the mechanical upgrades, Arden has dressed the Range Rover with a tasteful bodykit that includes a wide front apron with LED daytime running lights, wheel arch extensions, side skirts and a newly developed rear apron that incorporates a new set of rectangular tailpipes. The AR7’s looks are complemented by new 22 or 23-inch forged alloy wheels.

Finally, the AR7’s interior has been dressed in leather and alcantara that can be ordered in any colour desired while there are also a wide variety of high-grade woods, chrome, carbon and aluminium applications for the dash and the door trims.

Nice. RR should have an engine with this power all along, too bad such things are going out of fashion according to the critics.

Interior looks top notch!

I don't think the rounded fender flares really work with the design, everything else is just perfect!

Not that flashy, like it should be..
The only thing I don`t like is the vacuum-cleaner exhaust tips.

I agree with you both on that... very inviting interior. Very classy!

As for the exterior, for me nearly everything is wrong. The overdone front bumper, the curved wheel arches, the dull wheels, and the exhaust tips all detract from the appeal of the car. Sometimes less is more, and in the case of a Rangie that's definitely the case. A more refined and thought-out approach by Arden would have worked better.... but then again, the target market for this vehicle wants the exact opposite.

I have to admit though, the LED's are a nice touch to an otherwise overdone front.
