Land Rover has unveiled the Range Rover Sport SV Ultimate, a UK-exclusive special edition priced from £145,995. With only 500 units planned, this model pays homage to the original Range Rover Sport SVR while offering a uniquely refined performance experience.
Distinctive Design and Rarity
The SV Ultimate stands out through its carefully curated color options. Land Rover introduces an exclusive “SV Ultra Metallic” finish palette, including the revival of Velocity Blue Gloss – a shade previously exclusive to the original SVR and unavailable on other SV models. Obsidian Black Satin and Ethereal Frost Satin are also available, enhancing the car’s discreet exclusivity.
Each vehicle features a contrast black roof with a sliding panoramic glass, complemented by SV-specific Brembo brakes and 23-inch forged wheels in dark grey or black. The interior showcases perforated Windsor leather in Light Cloud/Ebony, completing the luxurious yet understated aesthetic.
Performance and Engineering Highlights
Under the hood, the SV Ultimate retains the proven 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, delivering 626 bhp and 750 Nm of torque. More importantly, it features the advanced 6D Dynamics suspension system derived from the Defender Octa. This hydraulically interlinked system minimizes body roll during cornering and enhances stability under braking and acceleration.
Notably, the SV Ultimate is priced below both the Range Rover Sport SV Black and Carbon editions, suggesting a strategic positioning within Land Rover’s high-performance lineup. The company emphasizes that this model isn’t merely a trim level but a focused performance variant with a unique identity.
Exclusive Ownership Experience
Land Rover aims to elevate the ownership experience. Each SV Ultimate Edition will be delivered with a personal handover at the Range Rover Studio in Solihull, including an exclusive track experience for every customer. Interested buyers should contact their local Land Rover retailer for further details.
The Range Rover Sport SV Ultimate represents a rare opportunity for enthusiasts to acquire a bespoke performance vehicle with a direct lineage to the iconic original SVR. It’s a blend of exclusivity, performance, and a premium ownership experience.
