Land Rover is bringing out an extra-exclusive coupe version of its popular Range Rover SUV.
The vehicle, priced from a staggering $295,000 and limited
to just 999 units worldwide, was shown for the first time in March at the 2018
Geneva auto show and is due to start deliveries later this year.
It turns out Land Rover engineers haven't quite finished
with the development however as a prototype was spotted on Tuesday testing at
the Nürburgring.
Our photos of the tester give us the best look yet at what
the special SUV, officially the Range Rover SV Coupe, will look like out on the
road.
The coupe design was chosen to give the vehicle an extra air
of exclusivity compared to the regular Range Rover. The body
style also channels the original Range Rover, which was launched as a two-door
and later spawned the more familiar four-door design.
Handling the production of the Range Rover SV Coupe is
Jaguar Land Rover's SVO personalization department. This means customers will
be able to fully personalize the vehicle, which features a unique four-seat
layout where the cabin is bisected by a full-length center console. Customers
will even be able to order separate colors for the front and rear seats.
Power in each of the SUVs will come from Jaguar Land Rover's
familiar 5.0-liter supercharged V-8. It's tuned here to deliver 557 horsepower
and 516 pound-feet of torque, which will see the Range Rover SV Coupe hit 60
mph in 5.0 seconds. Top speed is 165 mph.
While the Range Rover has traditionally been the exclusive
choice for high-end SUVs, it's facing stiff competition these days from the
likes of the Bentley
Bentaygaand Rolls-Royce
Cullinan. Vehicles like the Range Rover SV Coupe, of which you can bet
there will be more, show that Land Rover isn't keen on being overshadowed in
the luxury SUV arena by the newcomers.
