Range Rover Sport SV Carbon: New Luxury SUV with 635 hp

London, Great Britain — The legendary British car manufacturer Range Rover is expanding its elite lineup of high-performance SUVs, introducing the most expensive and exclusive version of the Range Rover Sport SV model. Dubbed Carbon, the new SUV raises the bar for both technological excellence and pricing, cementing its status as the ultimate expression of luxury and dynamics.

Debuting in 2023 as the third generation of the Range Rover Sport SV, the model quickly established itself in the market, and now with the Carbon version, the brand is targeting the most discerning customers looking for maximum performance and exclusivity. The starting price of the new SUV in Germany is set at 205,000 euros, but with the addition of optional equipment, the final amount can easily exceed 245,000 euros. This price range clearly shows that the Carbon is positioned as the most prestigious and expensive model in the entire series.

The Range Rover Sport SV Carbon represents the culmination of engineering achievements and design refinements, combining cutting-edge dynamic capabilities with modern luxury. The model joins the existing Range Rover Sport SV and SV Black, with each offering a unique interpretation of the brand's philosophy. While the SV Black version focuses on achieving a fully "blacked-out" aesthetic, the new Range Rover Sport SV Carbon is a definitive expression of lightweight construction and high performance, achieved through the extensive use of carbon elements. The car's world premiere is scheduled for August 13 at the prestigious Monterey Car Week.

Design and Technological Innovations

The aesthetic of the Range Rover Sport SV Carbon is distinguished by a carefully selected color palette, including four main options that can be complemented with exclusive shades from the premium palette for SV models. The standard exterior package includes a discreet but stylish carbon finish that highlights the car's lines, including around the active quad exhaust system. For customers seeking an even more expressive design, an optional Twill Carbon finish with a characteristic diagonal pattern is available, as is a carbon engine hood.

One of the most significant technical improvements that contribute to the lightweight construction are the ultra-light 23-inch forged aluminum wheels. They provide a total weight reduction of a remarkable 76 kg. The wheels are combined with black anodized brake calipers, and for those seeking ultimate braking performance, ultra-light carbon-ceramic brakes are offered. The brake calipers can be in blue, yellow, bronze carbon, or classic black, allowing for additional customization. Customers can also choose optional ultra-light 23-inch carbon wheels.

Interior, Blending Comfort and Innovation

The interior of the Range Rover Sport SV Carbon is designed to offer an unmatched luxurious and technological experience. The "Body and Soul" seats are a central element, providing a multisensory audio experience that allows front passengers to "feel the sound". This innovative system not only provides an immersive musical experience but also brings benefits for general well-being. The interior offers a choice of four different themes, and the seats can be upholstered in perforated Windsor leather in colors such as ebony, rosewood/ebony, and light cloud/ebony.

For customers who prefer non-leather options, a combination of gray and ebony is available, made from perforated Ultrafabrics – a premium, durable polyurethane fabric. The carbon accents continue in the interior, extending to the seatbacks and dashboard, where a Twill Carbon finish is also available. The interior is complemented by elegant "Moonlight" chrome accents and illuminated SV sills.

Power and Performance

Under the carbon hood of the new Range Rover Sport SV Carbon lies the heart of the car – a powerful 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8-cylinder engine, combined with a mild hybrid system. This powertrain generates an impressive 635 hp and 750 Nm of torque, allowing the SUV to reach a top speed of 290 km/h.

The new Range Rover Sport SV is established as the most powerful and dynamic Range Rover Sport in history. It combines top-tier performance and handling with the unmatched all-terrain capability characteristic of the brand. To enhance its dynamic characteristics, the model features the advanced 6D Dynamics technology, which includes hydraulically interconnected air suspension with pitch and roll control. This ensures maximum stability during cornering, acceleration, and braking, guaranteeing exceptional confidence on the road.

Ryan Miller, Director of Product and Service Marketing for Range Rover, commented on the lineup expansion: "Following the introduction of the limited-edition Range Rover Sport SV Edition One and Edition Two, customers now have more choice to configure their ultimate luxury SUV. Last month we announced the Range Rover Sport SV Black, which offers a fully 'blacked-out' aesthetic, while the new Range Rover Sport SV Carbon is a definitive interpretation of our high-performance luxury SUV. Offered alongside the Range Rover Sport SV and SV Black, the new model complements the special series, showcasing the best of Range Rover's carbon technologies for the ultimate expression of lightness and performance".
