For many, owning a vehicle like the Range Rover would be a dream come true but as impressive as it is out of the box, the owner of this particular example decided they wanted something a little more special. Their solution was to have the SUV upgraded by Manhart. The Range Rover’s exterior has been fitted with a set of gold Manhart decals, similar to those that equip most of the tuner’s other vehicles. Less noticeable changes include the installation of LED lights in the radiator grille and new gold-plating badges at both the front and rear.
The most striking modification is the
forged alloy wheels measuring 24×10 inches at all four corners and wrapped in
295/35 tires. We hate to think about how these massive shoes may impact the ride
quality of the plush SUV but they certainly make a big visual statement thanks
to the gloss black finish and gold accents.
Manhart has also worked its magic on the
Range Rover’s 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 and the fitment of its auxiliary
control unit has seen grunt rise from 523 hp and 750 Nm up to 644
hp and 900 Nm. Those gains may not seem massive in a world where
some tuners are making SUVs with upwards of 1,000 hp, but the added horsepower
and torque are more than enough to make this Range Rover a lot of fun. Helping
to ensure the engine sounds a little more meaty is a stainless steel exhaust
with quad tailpipes.
Completing the Manhart treatment is a
revitalized interior clad in Bordeaux red and gold leather with several other
gold elements on the steering wheel, dashboard, and center console.
