LONDON: Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations has launched a special edition Range Rover Sport SVR with new solid glass flake paintwork options for the first time.
Featuring a selection of exclusive paint colour combinations and tailored interior detailing by the SV Bespoke vehicle personalisation team, the 575hp Range Rover Sport SVR Ultimate edition enhances the visual appeal of the fastest and most powerful vehicle in the Land Rover family.
It is now available to order via Land Rover retailers worldwide, priced from US$141,600 (RM596,000).
Three hand-finished exterior paint choices include new Maya Blue Gloss and Marl Grey Gloss colours, both of which are exclusive to the Ultimate edition.
Delicate and highly reflective fine white glass flake particles in the solid base coat give an intense star-like sparkle. A third option, for a stealthier look, is Ligurian Black Satin. Each colour features a Narvik Black contrast roof.
The SV Bespoke team’s attention to detail extends to Black knurled Range Rover lettering on the hood and tailgate, with exclusive contrasting Fuji White edging which is also used for side fender accents.
A body-coloured carbon fiber vented hood, 22-inch five split-spoke forged alloy wheels and black brake calipers reinforce the Ultimate edition’s strong presence, complementing the SVR’s Narvik Black contrast roof, door mirror caps, front grilles and grille surrounds, front wing detail and tailgate finishers.
Now in its second generation, the Range Rover Sport SVR is powered by a 575hp version of the 5.0-litre V8 supercharged engine, which produces 700Nm of torque – sufficient to power the SVR from 0-100kph in just 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 283kph.
“Range Rover Sport SVR redefined Land Rover high-performance capability when it was introduced in 2014. We’ve sold more than 20,000 examples to date and demand for the SVR’s characterful mix of power, luxury and thrilling dynamics continues to grow every year," said Land Rover SV Bespoke commercial director Mark Turner.
"The SV Bespoke personalisation features of this Ultimate edition elevate its appeal even further.”
The craftsmanship of the SV Bespoke team extends to the cabin.
Specially commissioned chrome-finished SV Bespoke B-pillar badges, black anodised metal gearshift paddles and Ultimate edition illuminated treadplates enhance the recommended Ebony and Cirrus interior, which incorporates SVR-embossed lightweight Performance Seats in Windsor leather.
“This is the first SV Bespoke edition we’ve offered with beautifully textured and reflective glass flake paint finishes, which puts the Range Rover Sport SVR Ultimate edition at the forefront of our innovative approach to personalisation,” said SV Colour and Materials design manager Hannah Custance.
