Land Rover has officially revealed the Range Rover Sport SV Carbon Edition, a performance-focused luxury SUV designed to push the boundaries of power, precision, and exclusivity. Building upon the foundation laid by the Range Rover Sport SV and the SV Black Edition, the new SV Carbon serves as the flagship of Range Rover’s dynamic and lightweight design philosophy.
Set to make its global debut at Monterey Car Week on August 13, this Carbon Edition combines performance-oriented materials, cutting-edge technology, and striking visual enhancements.
The SV Carbon Edition stands out with its extensive use of forged carbon fibre, elevating both aesthetics and aerodynamics. It features a forged carbon exterior pack as standard, which subtly enhances areas such as the active quad exhaust system.
For those seeking an even bolder design, Land Rover offers an optional exposed twill carbon fibre bonnet. Buyers can choose from four primary exterior shades, with more options available via the SV Bespoke service, offering truly personalised finishes.
Step inside the cabin, and the SUV’s sporting intent is immediately evident. The interior features forged carbon seatbacks, sculpted performance seats with integrated headrests, and illuminated SV logos, creating an ambience of high-end motorsport refinement.
Customers can choose from four curated interior themes, including:
Premium Windsor Leather
Sustainable Ultrafabrics finish in Cinder Grey/Ebony
Additional details include moonlight chrome finishes, Twill carbon dashboard inserts, and illuminated SV-branded treadplates, all combining to deliver a sense of modern luxury with a dynamic edge.
At the heart of the SV Carbon Edition is a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 mild-hybrid petrol engine. This high-performance unit generates an impressive 635bhp and 750Nm of torque—and up to 800Nm in Dynamic Launch Mode.
With a top speed of 180mph, this is the most powerful and quickest Range Rover Sport ever built, pushing it into true super-SUV territory. The SUV’s 0-100km/h sprint time is equally jaw-dropping, thanks to this potent powertrain setup.
Performance is further refined through 6D Dynamics Suspension, a state-of-the-art system using hydraulically interlinked air suspension. This ensures unmatched body control across acceleration, cornering, and braking.
To complement its sporty dynamics, the SV Carbon Edition offers:
Optional 23-inch Carbon Fibre wheels, which reduce unsprung mass and save up to 76kg
Carbon Ceramic Brakes with eight-piston calipers available in Blue, Yellow, Carbon Bronze, or Black, ensuring powerful stopping performance and distinct visual flair
One of the standout features in the SV Carbon is the Body and Soul Seat (BASS) system. This innovative audio enhancement allows occupants to physically feel the music’s vibrations, turning every journey into a multi-sensory experience.
Beyond immersive entertainment, BASS also offers wellness benefits by delivering sound therapy through the seat itself—especially beneficial on long journeys.
Conclusion: The Pinnacle of Performance and Prestige
The Range Rover Sport SV Carbon Edition is a testament to Land Rover’s ability to fuse luxury, innovation, and high performance into one compelling package. With its forged carbon aesthetics, ferocious V8 engine, and segment-first features like BASS, this SUV is designed for those who demand the ultimate in dynamic driving and distinctive style.
As it joins the brand’s elite SV family, the Carbon Edition solidifies its position as the most thrilling and technologically advanced Range Rover Sport to date.
