Following the local debut of the Range Rover Sport SV EDITION ONE, the Range Rover Sport SV EDITION TWO is now available in South Africa.
What is it?
It is Range Rover’s flagship high-performance luxury SUV and only 23 will be available on order through select JLR retailers in South Africa.
Performance:
Headlining its performance credentials is a 467kW, 750Nm2, 4.4-litre Twin-Turbo MHEV V8 petrol engine. The claimed 0-100km/h time is just 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 290km/h.
To rein in the power, clients can select the optional Carbon Ceramic Braking system with SV-exclusive eight-piston Brembo front callipers and 440mm front brake discs, the largest in the automotive industry, says JLR.
Suspension:
Further control is afforded by Range Rover Sport SV’s 6D Dynamics suspension system, which offers a combination of hydraulic interlinked dampers, height-adjustable air springs and pitch control.
Range Rover Sport SV features an illuminated SV Mode button. A short press activates SV Mode, immediately configuring the vehicle’s suspension, powertrain, steering, transmission and Active Exhaust for maximum performance. A long press opens the Configurable Dynamics menu, allowing drivers to tailor the characteristics of Range Rover Sport SV to their preferences.

The Range Rover Sport SV EDITION TWO offers a performance-honed exterior, with four themes - Blue Nebula Matte, Marl Grey Gloss, Sunrise Copper Satin and Ligurian Black Gloss.
It also features exclusive branding on the front splitter, centre console, treadplates and puddle lamps.
For each curation, clients can opt for alternative wheels – including new 22-inch Diamond-Turned alloy wheels with Satin Dark Grey contrast – plus different brake calliper colours.
The exterior of each SV EDITION TWO can be specified with a body-coloured roof, a new Satin Forged Carbon Fibre Pack, or Twill Carbon Fibre Pack introduced on SV EDITION ONE, as per the client’s preference and dependent on the exterior paint finish.

Inside, new Satin Forged Carbon Fibre trim finishers can be specified to match the exterior. Twill Carbon Fibre trim finishers are also available, with matching carbon fibre seat backs.
