JLR South Africa prices returning Carbon-clad Range Rover Sport
Return of the Carbon edition after five years sees it replacing the SV Edition Two and to some extent, the SV Black Edition. The range-topping of the previous generation, JLR has revived the Carbon edition for the latest generation Range Rover Sport that, once again, becomes the range's top spec variant. Seemingly replacing the SV Black that premiered last month, the Carbon, as with the Black and other special editions, is the work of JLR's SV Bespoke division, hence the newcomer's official moniker being SV Carbon. Once again based on the normal SV, which replaced the supercharged SVR, the SV Carbon only gains bespoke cosmetic and interior changes, with the drivetrain and mechanicals being unchanged. As per its name, the Carbon's aesthetic additions comprise carbon twill weave detailing, an exposed carbon fibre bonnet as an option, the carbon exterior pack as standard, anodised black brake calipers and the active exhaust system with quad outlets. Also standard are 23-inch alloy wheels, though buyers can choose from a range of designs, including a lightweight 23-inch carbon option. Finally, the optional carbon ceramic brakes bring a choice of four colours for the brake calipers; black, yellow, blue or bronze. Inside, and as with the now discontinued SV Edition Two, the Carbon offers a choice of four what JLR calls themes. Amounting to the decorative inserts and material of the Windsor leather seats, the options comprise Ebony, Ebony and Rosewood, Ebony and Light Cloud, and a leather-free option called Ebony and Cinder Grey. SV illuminated treadplates, forged carbon inserts with a twill finish on the headrests of the seats and dashboard, and what SV Bespoke calls Moonlight Chrome detailing rounds the interior's additions off. As mentioned, no dynamic changes have been to the Carbon's chassis, meaning the continual inclusion of the 6D Adaptive dampers, the Active Torque Vectoring system, All-Wheel Steering and the Active Locking Differential. On the power front, the status quo also continues unchanged with outputs of 467kW/750Nm from the BMW-sourced 4.4-litre twin-turbo mild-hybrid V8. Connected to the ZF-sourced eight-speed automatic gearbox, with drive going to all four wheels, the Sport SV Carbon will get from 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, and hit a limited top speed of 290 km/h. Similar to its siblings, it also gets the Dynamic Launch Mode system that adds an additional 50 Nm for a few seconds. Price Making its official world debut at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance this weekend as part of Monterey Car Week, the Sport SV Carbon is now available for ordering in South Africa priced from R3 822 300, which includes a five-year/100 000 km maintenance plan.

SV Bespoke service extends to Range Rover Sport
Range Rover's SV Bespoke commissioning service is now available for the first time on the Range Rover Sport, giving customers access to an almost limitless range of colours, materials and finishes to create a vehicle that reflects their individual style. To mark the occasion, the brand has revealed the exclusive Range Rover Sport Nocturne at Range Rover House in Mykonos. A nod to the inky dark skies so characteristic of the Mediterranean, this one-off SUV is finished in Bespoke Indigo Gloss paint with contrasting Narvik Black accents on the mirror caps and roof. Other standout elements include an exposed carbon fibre bonnet, a satin twill carbon fibre exterior pack and script badging in Black Chrome Metal with Indigo Gloss inserts. A set of 23-inch 'Thunderball' alloy wheels are finished in Champagne Gold Satin, while the brake calipers are painted in a stealthy shade of Black Carbon. Inside, the Nocturne further sets itself apart with an SV Bespoke split colourway of Ebony and Lunar Windsor leather, featuring Light Cloud contrast stitching. Satin Forged Carbon Fibre trim and black ceramic controls — an SV signature — complete the high-spec interior. The SV Bespoke commissioning service is offered on both Range Rover Sport SV and Autobiography models. Clients can opt for an in-person or virtual consultation, with access to an extensive catalogue of customisation options.

So, this 'Nocturne' SV – apparently 'inspired by the skies above the Mediterranean' – features a special 'Indigo Gloss' body colour, forged carbon detailing, and 'Lunar and Ebony' leather seats. Looks… inky. Less terrifying than the recently revealed RRS SV Black, that's for sure. 'Since we introduced SV Bespoke for Range Rover, we have seen a surge in demand for our personalisation service,' said Martin Limpert, Range Rover's global MD. 'In the last year, we have created some incredible one-of-one vehicles which showcase the best of Range Rover craft, such as the Range Rover SV Candeo. 'Now is the right time to extend this offer to Range Rover Sport clients, following the introduction of our renewed Range Rover Sport SV line-up.'

JLR prices newly Black Edition suited ‘full-size' Range Rover
The Black officially becomes the priciest Range Rover ever sold in South Africa, with option of standard or long wheelbase L configurations. Black Edition attire has now been handed to the full-size Range Rover SV. Image: JLR JLR has removed the wraps from its second Black Edition Range Rover in as many weeks, albeit this time based on the full-size variant instead of the Sport. Black attire Set to become the most expensive Range Rover sold in South Africa, the Black, as with the Sport, is the work of JLR's SV Bespoke division, with the range topping 'standard' SV serving as base. ALSO READ: WATCH: New Range Rover as close to motoring heaven as it gets Available in five-seat form or in long wheelbase L guise with five or four seats, the Black's exterior changes are virtually identical to those of the Sport by consisting of a gloss Narvik Black finish, 23-inch gloss black alloy wheels, gloss black brake calipers, a polished gloss black mesh grille and gloss black Range Rover lettering on the bonnet. A gloss black Range Rover oval badge and a black ceramic SV roundel instead of the usual white on the tailgate, rounds the Black's aesthetics off. Interior has been given a black overhaul as well. Image: JLR Inside, the darkened touches include a satin black ceramic finish on the toggle switch gear lever, black birch wood veneers, Ebony semi-aniline leather seats with a new single cover that reduces stitch work and seams, and what JLR calls Moonlight Chrome decorative inserts. Same V8 heart In addition to the specification sheet remaining unchanged from the standard SV and SV L, JLR has also not altered the powerplant, meaning the BMW-sourced 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 continues to produce 452kW/750Nm. As ever, drive is routed to all four wheels via a ZF-sourced eight-speed automatic gearbox. The claimed top speed is 261 km/h, with respective 0-100 km/h times, with launch control active, of 4.3 and 4.4 seconds. Price Confirmed to be shown alongside the Sport SV Black Edition as the Goodwood Festival of Speed that kicks-off on 10 July and runs until 13 July, the Range Rover SV Black Edition carries a price tag of R5 269 200, which increases to R5 718 700 for the L. Representing premiums of R297 900 and R230 800 over the standard SV models, both Black Edition's price tags include a five-year/100 000 km maintenance plan as standard.
