In 1970, Range Rover launched the first generation of its off-road vehicle, which would eventually become a legend and the pride of the British automotive industry. This model is the basis for the projects of the Italian company Vinile, which deals with the restoration and modification of these cars.

The company decided to deal only with the first generation of this British SUV, whose bodywork would undergo minimal visual changes, because the primary goal was the precise assembly and adjustment of the restored factory body panels. The car was premiered on April 11.

The car is equipped with LED headlights and new two-tone rims wrapped in wide A/T tires, while the aircraft-inspired interior has undergone major changes. Designers have placed the window switches on the roof, where one of the engine start switches is also located. A wristwatch is located below the 10.1-inch display of the multimedia system (Sony) with navigation and wireless connectivity with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto applications. The seats are upholstered in light brown Alcantara, which also covers the roof and several other elements. There is also a 10-speaker audio system from Focal, and three amplifiers from Rockford Fosgate.

When it comes to the powertrain, the company decided not to install a new engine but to restore the original V8 engine that develops around 200 horsepower.

Vinile will produce only 15 units of this car, and each will cost 280,000 euros.

Range Rover upgraded by Overfinch

British company Overfinch, which customizes Land Rover and Range Rover cars, has unveiled its latest work, the Helix, based on the Range Rover Defender.

Overfinch has fitted the car with a new body kit that includes flared wheel arches, a massive carbon fiber hood dome, a new front bumper with redesigned intakes and carbon details. There are also carbon sills, a new rear bumper, a diffuser, a spoiler, and a light bar with the company logo. Special attention is drawn to a set of forged 24-inch wheels, made from a single piece of aluminum, which is perhaps the most complex design ever seen, with a swirl design.

The Range Rover‘s interior is truly top-notch, but Overfinch decided to freshen it up with Arancia leather covering the seats, dashboard, steering wheel, center console and door panels, as well as a lot of carbon details.

There have been changes under the bonnet as well. The Range Rover is powered by a 4.4-L twin-turbo V8 engine which, thanks to a new exhaust system with variable valves, now delivers 621 hp and 890 Nm of torque. That’s significantly more than the 530 hp and 750 Nm of torque in the standard Range Rover.

Speaking of price, this carbon body kit costs £104,589.

Range Rover Sport SV by Mansory

In June 2023, Range Rover revealed the new Range Rover Sport SV with a BMW engine, which was offered as the Edition One in its first year. Now one of the best car tuners of this Bavarian manufacturer, Mansory, has presented its vision of this model.

The German tuner has equipped the car with carbon components such as the decoration for the intakes on the bumper, the aggressive splitter and decorative openings on the hood, deeper sills and the rear diffuser, which with the optional extension of the rear wing, gives the car a more aggressive look. With improved suspension, brakes, limited rear differential lock, and the best control system ever installed in a Range Rover model, Mansory has taken the Sport SV to the next level.

In the cabin, the tuner offers buyers a host of options such as new leather upholstery, illuminated door sills, velor or leather floor mats and boot covers, sports pedals and Mansory badges.

Range Rover Sport SV is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4L V8 engine with 635 hp (467 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. It is enough to push the car to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h). It is mounted on new 23″ and 24″ FD-15 forged rims.

When it comes to price, Mansory has not revealed how much the car costs.
