Range Rover Sport SV Carbon debuts at Monterey Car Week

Range Rover continues to elevate its performance luxury SUV offering with the unveiling of the new Range Rover Sport SV Carbon — a distinguished addition to its flagship SV portfolio. Set to make its global debut on 13 August at Range Rover House during the prestigious Monterey Car Week, the SV Carbon represents a masterstroke in lightweight performance and contemporary luxury.

This new iteration completes the high-performance triad of Range Rover Sport SV models, joining the Range Rover Sport SV and the recently revealed SV Black. Where the SV Black embodies stealth and bold minimalism, the SV Carbon introduces an assertive character defined by its meticulous use of carbon fibre and a curated suite of design and performance enhancements.

At first glance, the SV Carbon’s aesthetic is undeniably purposeful. A Forged Carbon Exterior Pack comes as standard, featuring carbon fibre detailing that envelopes the Active Quad Exhausts, offering a dramatic yet refined edge. For clients seeking an even more distinctive look, a Twill Carbon finish—known for its signature diagonal weave—is available, along with an exposed carbon fibre bonnet that further underscores the vehicle’s performance pedigree.

An exclusive colour palette has been curated for this model, comprising four carefully selected shades in addition to options from the SV Premium Palette.

Performance credentials are equally compelling. The SV Carbon rides on lightweight 23-inch forged alloy wheelswith Anodised Black brake calipers. For those desiring heightened performance and aesthetic finesse, ultra-lightweight 23-inch Carbon Fibre Wheels can be specified. In parallel, Carbon Ceramic Brakes—renowned for their exceptional stopping power—are available with caliper finishes in Blue, Yellow, Carbon Bronze or Black, reflecting the SV division’s dedication to customisation.

Beneath the bonnet lies a carbon fibre SV engine cover housing the formidable 635PS, 750Nm 4.4-litre Twin Turbo V8 mild hybrid petrol engine. This powerhouse delivers astonishing performance, propelling the Range Rover Sport SV Carbon to a top speed of 180mph, solidifying its place as the most dynamic and powerful Range Rover Sport ever created.

Inside the cabin, the SV Carbon is a study in sophisticated minimalism. Clients are offered a choice of four interior themes, including perforated Windsor Leather in Ebony, Rosewood/Ebony, or Light Cloud/Ebony. For those pursuing a leather-free cabin, Cinder Grey/Ebony seats crafted from Ultrafabrics™ offer an innovative and sustainable alternative. The Forged Carbon detailing carries through to the seatbacks and dashboard, while an optional Twill Carbon finish provides further visual depth. Additional highlights include Extended Moonlight Chrome accents and SV illuminated treadplates, establishing a uniquely bespoke interior ambience.

Among the many technological highlights is the inclusion of 6D Dynamics Suspension, an advanced hydraulic interlinked air suspension system delivering unparalleled composure during high-speed cornering, acceleration, and braking. Moreover, Range Rover’s Body and Soul™ Seat (BASS) technology offers an enveloping, multi-sensory audio experience, enabling occupants to quite literally feel the music—a sensory innovation designed to enhance wellbeing and immersion.

Ryan Miller, Product and Services Marketing Director, Range Rover, commented: “Following the introduction of the previously limited Range Rover Sport SV Edition ONE and Edition TWO, clients now have more choice when it comes to specifying their ultimate luxury performance SUV. Last month we announced the Range Rover Sport SV Black, offering a stealthy, dipped-in-black aesthetic, while the new Range Rover Sport SV Carbon is an assertive interpretation of our luxury performance SUV. Offered alongside Range Rover Sport SV and SV Black, it completes the new line-up showcasing the best of Range Rover’s sophisticated carbon fibre materials, for the ultimate expression of lightweight performance.”

With orders now open via www.rangerover.com, the Range Rover Sport SV Carbon affirms its position as the definitive expression of performance, luxury, and engineering excellence in the high-performance SUV segment.
