Unfortunately for fans of big two-door
luxury SUVs, Land Rover killed the Range Rover SV last year. But the strange
project is not all gone as designer Niels van Roij has given it a new lease on
life. Named the Adventum Coupe, it’s a coachbuilt model sketched by van Roij
and made by Bas van Roomen that follows the striking design of the Range Rover
SV and packs the 525 HP 5.0-liter supercharged V8.
The model retains the original‘s front
fenders, bonnet and tailgate, but everything else is custom-made. In addition
to the aluminum panels, the B-pillars were repositioned and the whole body was
reinforced to cope with the chopping and realignment.
The first Adventum Coupe of the 100-unit
production run rocks Arctic White paint and a Red interior. The cabin sports
fine Nappa leather, black piano lacquer, electrically operated captain’s chairs
at the back, unique door handles, teak floors and boot, and a few other gizmos
that boost the appeal.
Customization is possible, with the
company offering numerous single- or dual-tone paint finishes, fuel filler
caps, wood trim, leather and so on.
Pricing for the coachbuilt Range Rover
starts at € 270,000 (US$ 303,169), and that’s before taxes. Depending on
the complexity, the building process takes at least six months. Niels van Roij
Design is already accepting orders for it and you can place one too if you’re
willing to pay a € 50,000 (US$ 56,142) deposit to ensure your bespoke Adventum
Coupe gets built.
