Currently using my P380 as a daily driver. 2 trips to the office most weeks, a bit of poodling around at the weekends, a week in the Highlands in spring and the whole of August criss-crossing the alps this coming summer
Spent a fair bit of time looking at SVRs and seriously thinking about one after August. While fuel economy isn't top priority, it would be good to know what to realistically expect.
I get about 27 to 28 mpg driving to work. 35 ish mpg on motorway runs and maybe 21 or 22 mpg when I'm on it.
Any real world experience with an SVR would be appreciated. Cheers

Not a SVR owner, but have a P450 V8 and previously had a V6S for 3 years, both RWD. MPG on a longer motorway run is actually slightly better on the V8, longer gearing. Day to day there's very little in it, nothing noticeable. The only time I do notice much worse MPG is short (1-2 miles trips around town). I average 25mpg.

I've been driving SVRs a lot this year, and first, it really is down to your right foot. I would say that overall, the SVR is only slightly thirstier than the V6. I hyper-miled one for the first half of a run from Glasgow to Andover, and in very favourable traffic, saw 38MPG. The rest of that journey, with typical traffic and cruising at motorway speeds, delivered 33MPG. Around town or hoofing about the countryside you'll get down to mid-20s, and on the track I would aim for single figures!

Wow. That's similar to what I'm currently getting. Great news. Time to start looking what's out there.

My V8 P575 does around 23-25mpg with normal driving, 30-35mpg on a long motorway cruise, 8-10mpg with spirited driving.
DOC IW. While the numbers aren't fantastic, they're not bad enough to put me off. Thanks.

I am very luckily enjoying driving regularly both V6S 380 awd and an SVR, can confirm same.

Why would you buy a SVR if you were worried about MPG?
Buy a cheap electric car to commute and save the SVR for weekends
Umm, because I really want one ?
I did say economy isn't a priority, but that doesn't mean I'm not curious about what to expect. If I get the SVR it'll still be my daily and do 5k to 6k in a month in the Alps each summer.
I always bought cars (and bikes) to enjoy. Never looked for a solid investment or to keep the mileage low. Always kept them well serviced and maintained, and then wring the neck out of them occasionally
The feedback has been very encouraging. Not vastly different to my P380
