The record

Bowler announced the CSP 575 in November 2020, its first new model under Jaguar Land Rover ownership, developed with engineers from Special Vehicle Operations. The high-strength steel CSP chassis from Bowler's rally raid cars carried an aluminium Defender 110 station wagon body with four seats, air conditioning and a full safety cage, and the engine was the supercharged 5.0-litre V8 of the Range Rover Sport SVR at 575 PS. It was to be hand-built to order at Belper at about £200,000, with deliveries in the second half of 2021.

Two 2016 CSP V8 prototypes, P1 and P2, already used the supercharged 5.0-litre Jaguar V8 on the same platform. LRLife records that only a handful of CSP 575 prototypes were built before the project was shelved.

Catalogue fields describe the vehicle's structure and body as this registry records it. They are not certified factory measurements, and no performance figures are published here.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
