TAKE A RANGE ROVER, ADD even more luxury and personalisation and then, for good measure, throw in a 416kW supercharged V8 and you have a very special vehicle.
Since 2014 the expert engineers and craftspeople (can’t call them “craftsmen” any more, no matter how ugly the word it creates) at Special Vehicle Operations have designed and produced the fastest, most luxurious and most exclusive Range Rover models in the flagship SUV’s 50-year history. The elevated luxury, performance and capability of the SV family represent the pinnacle of Range Rover development.
Powered by a 5.0-litre Supercharged V8 with 700Nm of torque and 416kW, the driver-focused Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic deliver the ultimate combination of performance and comfort through revised geometry and chassis calibration.
SV engineers revised suspension components including knuckles, links, springs and dampers to give more immediate responses to driver inputs. An 8mm lower ride height improves on-road handling and feedback without compromising all-terrain performance.
Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic is exclusively available in standard wheelbase configuration. Distinguishing interior features include branded tread plates, rotary controls featuring knurled details, and the SVAutobiography Dynamic logo on the digital instrument graphics and the centre console.
The new Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic Black derivative combines Santorini Black Metallic paintwork with Narvik Black Gloss on the mesh grille, front bumper and lower air intake finisher to give the purposeful 416kW model a stealthy appearance.
Modified side and rear accents get the same treatment while 22-inch gloss black wheels reveal black brake calipers. The rear bumper also features integrated metal tailpipe finishers. SVAutobiography Dynamic Black specification has Ebony Quilted Perforated Semi-Aniline Leather trim.
The Range Rover SV line-up includes:
- Range Rover SVAutobiography – long-wheelbase pinnacle of the family is the most elegant and refined Range Rover ever, mixing airline-style Executive Seats and power-close rear doors with a choice of engines that includes an efficient PHEV powertrain
