Land Rover Ambassador and world famous polar explorer, Ben Saunders, swapped his snowshoes for winter tyres to put the Range Rover Sport SVR through its paces on a full-scale replica of the Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit carved in the snow on Lake Udjaur in Sweden.

With instruction from Land Rover Experience instructor and former rally champion, Finland's Minna Sillankorva, Ben tackles the unique challenge of driving on ice behind the wheel of Land Rover's performance flagship, the 550bhp Range Rover Sport.

The Range Rover Sport SVR is the fastest and most powerful Land Rover to date, capable of accelerating from 0-100km/h in just 4.5 seconds. It is the first model to wear the SVR designation which will be adopted by future Land Rover and Jaguar high-performance models.
