New Delhi : Think of a sports car and what comes to mind is a red Ferrari, famous for its sporty design, speed and agility.

An SUV from Land Rover outperformed the supercar Ferrari 458 italia when Le Mans class-winner and Jaguar Racing test driver Ho-Pin Tung drove the new 575PS RangeRover Sport SVR and benchmarked new record on same Tianmen Road in 9mins 51 seconds.
