Geraldine Ingham, Managing Director, Range Rover, said: “What makes Range Rover Sport SV so desirable is its unique combination of dynamic performance, modern sporting luxury design, its cutting-edge sensory technology and breadth of capability. For the first year, this was initially only open to clients by reservation. Today we announce the next step in our SV line-up, Range Rover Sport SV EDITION TWO, available with new design themes which offer our discerning clients the chance to enjoy four distinct characters of our high-performance luxury SUV.”
Range Rover Sport SV is the most powerful and dynamic Range Rover Sport yet, blending supreme performance and dynamism with peerless Range Rover capability, refinement and reductive design. Its array of performance-enhancing technologies includes the most advanced suspension system in its class8 and a sensory audio system with wellness benefits.
Inherent to the high-performance credentials of Range Rover Sport SV, an exclusive airflow-enhanced design delivers a more assertive and grounded aesthetic, with functional lightweight and technical material choices throughout reinforcing its high-performance capabilities.
Powered exclusively by a 467kW, 750Nm2 4.4-litre Twin-Turbo MHEV V8 petrol engine, Range Rover Sport SV is capable of accelerating from 0-100km/h in as little as 3.7 seconds 3 and a top speed of 290km/h.
This outstanding performance is enabled by a combination of features that deliver a weight saving of up to 76kg1, including a Carbon Ceramic Brakes option, and standard-fit aerodynamic enhancements including a carbon fibre bonnet.
SV EDITION TWO: DESIGN CURATIONS
Four new curations that are unique to new SV EDITION TWO offer visually striking variations.
Immediately dramatic, the Blue Nebula specification features a matte finish – the colour itself inspired by the Northern Atlantic coast, containing a hint of green, finished with a colour shifting effect. This is paired with the new Satin Forged Carbon exterior pack, a painted carbon-fibre bonnet and 23-inch forged black alloy wheels – complemented by Blue Nebula brake calipers. Inside, SV Performance Seats are finished in Light Cloud and Ebony Windsor leather.
For the second curation, a Marl Grey Gloss exterior is paired with a Gloss Carbon Twill exterior pack, Exposed Carbon Twill bonnet and 23-inch Carbon Gloss wheels with Sunrise Copper calipers, offered with a Rosewood and Ebony Windsor interior.
The third curation offers a Sunrise Copper Satin exterior finish, with Satin Carbon Twill exterior pack, painted carbon fibre bonnet and a 23-inch forged black alloy wheel with red anodised calipers. Inside, the seats are upholstered in Ebony Windsor leather.
The fourth and final exclusive curation features a Ligurian Black Gloss exterior with Satin Carbon Twill exterior pack, exposed carbon fibre bonnet and 23-inch Carbon Gloss wheels with contrasting Nano Yellow brake caliper, and Cinder and Ebony interior in Knit and UltrafabricsTM PU.
For each curation, clients can opt for alternative wheels – including new 22-inch Diamond-Turned alloy wheels with Satin Dark Grey contrast – plus different brake caliper colours. The exterior of each SV EDITION TWO can be specified with a body-coloured roof, a new Satin Forged Carbon Fibre Pack, or Twill Carbon Fibre Pack introduced on SV EDITION ONE, as per the client’s preference, and dependent on the exterior paint finish.
Inside, new Satin Forged Carbon Fibre trim finishers can be specified to match the exterior, with Twill Carbon Fibre trim finishers also available, with matching carbon fibre seat backs. Every SV EDITION TWO comes with Body and Soul Seats (BASS) and the option of Knit and UltrafabricsTM PU, or Windsor leather.
Interior Design
Range Rover Sport SV’s interior design enhances the connection between car and driver, reflecting its more focused, sporting character without compromising luxury or refinement.
Exclusive front SV Performance Seats feature integrated headrests, carbon fibre backboards, an illuminated SV logo and more sculpted bolsters to hold the driver and their front-seat passenger securely in place during high-performance driving. The 16-way adjustable seats feature massage functionality and are heated and cooled for maximum comfort. Cutting-edge Body and Soul Seat in-car sensory technology is fitted as standard.
Matching rear seats – also heated and cooled – feature a more dynamic design with pronounced side bolsters, yet retain powered recline and 60/40 split folding functionality.
Range Rover Sport SV’s redesigned steering wheel features more pronounced thumb grips, a thicker rim and exclusive illuminated SV Mode button. A short press puts the vehicle into SV Mode, immediately configuring its suspension, powertrain, steering, transmission and Active Exhaust for maximum performance. A long press opens the Configurable Dynamics menu, where the driver can tailor the dynamic characteristics of Range Rover Sport SV to suit their preferences.
The enlarged gear-shift paddles incorporate innovative LED Edge-Lighting Technology. The +/- symbols are illuminated white when the vehicle is switched on. When SV Mode is activated, the illumination changes to red.
