Land Rover is celebrating the North American
premiere of the limited Range Rover SV Coupe at the New York Auto Show. The
first examples of the two-door, ultra-luxurious version of the full-size Range
Rover will hit the U.S. market in the fourth quarter of this year, with prices
kicking off at a cool US$ 295,000.
Production of the Range Rover SV Coupe will be
limited to 999 units globally, with each one hand-crafted by SVO. It’s still
unclear how many of them will find their way over in the US.
Developed by Land Rover Design and SVO (Special
Vehicle Operations), the new Range Rover SV Coupe is the company’s new flagship
model. Customers will get to choose between seven design packs featuring
exterior paint, bespoke badges, and interior materials specially selected by
the Jaguar Land Rover Design team.
Power comes from a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 that
produces 557 hp, making the SV Coupe not only the most powerful full-size Range
Rover but also the fastest one as the top speed is now 165 mph.
Jaguar Land Rover will also showcase the 2019 Jaguar
I-Pace EV for the first time in front of the American audience, as well as the
firebreathing Jaguar F-Pace SVR which brings the heat to models like the Alfa
Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, thanks to its 542 hp from its supercharged V8.
