Range Rover Sport SV Carbon debuts with carbon fibre design and 635PS V8

Range Rover Sport SV Carbon completes the performance SUV range with exclusive carbon detailing, SV Bespoke options and a 635PS V8 mild hybrid engine.

The new Range Rover Sport SV Carbon completes the refreshed line-up of high-performance SUVs, joining the SV and SV Black models. It focuses on lightweight engineering, cutting-edge technology and distinctive style, underscored by exclusive carbon fibre elements and the bespoke personalisation options of SV Bespoke. Recently introduced, the SV Black demonstrated the brand’s push into stealth design, offering an all-black finish with the same performance credentials as the flagship models.

The SV Carbon will make its debut on 13 August at Range Rover House during Monterey Car Week. Orders are already open, with a choice of four base colours and the extended SV Premium Palette. The exterior features a Forged Carbon pack with carbon accents around the active quad exhausts, as well as an optional Twill Carbon bonnet with its signature diagonal weave. For maximum weight reduction, optional 23-inch carbon fibre wheels contribute to a total saving of up to 76 kg.

Inside, the SV Carbon offers a sports-focused cabin with four trim themes, including Windsor leather and a leather-free Ultrafabrics™ option. Seats feature integrated headrests, pronounced bolsters and illuminated SV logos, with carbon-backed shells. Both Forged and Twill Carbon finishes are available throughout the interior.

Under the bonnet lies a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 mild hybrid, producing 635 PS and up to 800 Nm of torque in Dynamic Launch mode. Performance is paired with the 6D Dynamics suspension — a hydraulically interlinked air system with pitch and roll control that keeps the body composed at high speeds. The Body and Soul™ Seat technology adds a sensory dimension to the drive, allowing front occupants to feel the sound.

The SV Carbon not only retains the performance credentials of the SV and SV Black but also expands personalisation potential. The SV Bespoke programme offers over two hundred paint choices and a wide range of unique finishes, available through dedicated commissioning suites worldwide.

In the competitive world of performance luxury SUVs, the Range Rover Sport SV Carbon enters as a contender ready to challenge established rivals, not by imitation but by playing to its own strengths — bold design, advanced engineering and the brand’s deep expertise in crafting SUVs with true character.
