2026 Range Rover Sport SV Carbon

The new Range Rover Sport SV Carbon has arrived, and if you thought the standard SV was already a well-tailored battering ram, this one has been put on a strict carbon-fibre diet and told to dress only in the most exquisite materials possible. It’s essentially Range Rover’s performance flagship… but now it’s wearing a bespoke, carbon-weave dinner jacket.

It completes the line-up alongside the “just fast” Range Rover Sport SV and the black-tie-optional SV Black. But the Carbon edition? That’s for people who enjoy the finer things — like forged wheels the size of manhole covers, exhausts wrapped in stealth-spec carbon, and an optional bonnet that looks like it’s been pinched straight off a Le Mans prototype.

The standard fit is a Forged Carbon Exterior Pack, which wraps the Active Quad Exhausts in carbon detailing that’s so sultry, it’s practically whispering in Italian. If you prefer your fibres arranged with military precision, there’s the Twill Carbon option, complete with its signature diagonal weave — the sort of thing that would make a Swiss watchmaker weep with joy.

The wheels? A dainty 23 inches across, forged for lightness, and hugged by Anodised Black brake calipers. Want to go full lunatic? You can spec ultra-lightweight carbon-fibre wheels — which are essentially like fitting a supermodel’s ankles to a rugby player. And if stopping is as important to you as going, Carbon Ceramic Brakes are on the menu, in Blue, Yellow, Carbon Bronze, or Black. Pick the colour that best complements your yacht.

Inside, it’s less “cabin” and more “boutique hotel lobby that happens to move very, very fast.” There are four interior themes, from Windsor Leather in shades like Ebony or Rosewood/Ebony, to a leather-free option made from Ultrafabrics™ — presumably for the type of owner who also demands their champagne be ethically sourced. Carbon detailing spreads across the dashboard and even the back of the seats, because who wants to look at boring plastic when the valet opens the door? Moonlight Chrome accents and SV-branded illuminated treadplates are also there, because of course they are.

And yes — under the bonnet, there’s carbon too. The SV engine cover sits above a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 mild hybrid that coughs up a staggering 635PS and 800Nm. Top speed? 180mph. That’s supercar pace, except this thing has the road presence of a private jet taxiing through traffic. The trick 6D Dynamics Suspension — with hydraulic interlinked air suspension, pitch and roll control — means it corners like something much smaller, much lighter, and much angrier.

Then there’s the Body and Soul™ Seat technology. It doesn’t just play music — it lets you feel it. You don’t just hear Beethoven’s Fifth; you become Beethoven’s Fifth. It’s like your seat’s giving you a private concert while you annihilate a B-road.

Range Rover says the SV Carbon is the “ultimate expression of lightweight performance.” Translation? It’s a Range Rover Sport that’s been to the gym, the spa, and the tailor — and now it’s ready to steal your parking spot while looking better than you ever will.

The new model will make its world premiere on 13 August at Range Rover House during Monterey Car Week.

Range Rover Sport Embraces a New Era of Luxury with SV Bespoke Commissioning Service

In an era where individuality is the ultimate luxury, Range Rover has taken a bold stride forward. The brand’s acclaimed SV Bespoke commissioning service—previously reserved for its flagship Range Rover—is now available for the first time on the Range Rover Sport. This marks a new chapter for the luxury performance SUV, opening up an extraordinary breadth of personalisation possibilities for discerning clients around the world.

Crafted to Reflect Personality

Range Rover’s SV Bespoke offering goes far beyond conventional options lists. At its core lies a philosophy of tailored luxury—vehicles as unique as their owners. The SV Curated Bespoke Palette includes up to 230 exterior colours in gloss, matte, or satin finishes. For those seeking the extraordinary, the SV Bespoke ‘Match-to-Sample’ service allows virtually any colour to be recreated with remarkable accuracy.

Clients may also opt for distinctive elements like an Exposed Carbon Fibre Bonnet and bespoke roof and mirror cap finishes, while every SV Bespoke gloss paint job now benefits from a new ‘glass-like’ finish. Achieved through a thicker top-coat lacquer and meticulous hand polishing, the result is a surface of unrivalled depth and clarity.

Interior Personalisation Elevated

The Range Rover Sport SV’s interior is no less expressive. Buyers can choose from over 1,500 unique combinations, including a wide range of 15 rich colour options such as Navy, Brogue, Pimento, and Raven Blue. With contrast stitching, bespoke embroidery, unique veneers, and personalised treadplates, SV Bespoke invites owners to curate an atmosphere that speaks uniquely to them.

Exclusive finishes for 23-inch wheels and new brake caliper hues—Xenon Blue and Silver—join a suite of subtle yet striking details. Clients can also select from 22 distinct combinations of the signature two-piece Range Rover script, now available in hand-forged precious metals with matching paint inserts.

Nocturne: The First of Its Kind

The first Range Rover Sport SV to emerge from the SV Bespoke programme is the evocatively named Nocturne, which debuted at Range Rover House in Mykonos. Inspired by the deep indigo twilight of the Mediterranean sky, it features a Bespoke Indigo Gloss exterior, hand polished to mirror-like perfection. Narvik Black mirror caps and a contrast roof lend it a refined edge.

Performance cues come via the Exposed Carbon Fibre Bonnet, Satin Twill Carbon Fibre accents, and Thunderball 23-inch wheels finished in Champagne Gold Satin. Inside, Ebony and Lunar Windsor leather, Light Cloud contrast stitching, Satin Forged Carbon trim, and tactile ceramic controls bring tactile opulence to the cockpit.

Global Commissioning, Personal Touch

To bring this bespoke experience closer to clients, Range Rover has launched a network of Commissioning Suites in luxury hubs including London, Antwerp, Munich, Vancouver, Beijing, Tokyo, and Dubai—with five more coming in 2025. These suites offer curated, in-person consultations with SV Bespoke experts, though virtual commissioning is also available for convenience without compromise.

A Growing Demand for Distinction

The introduction of SV Bespoke for the Range Rover Sport follows growing global demand for ultra-personalised vehicles. As Martin Limpert, Global Managing Director of Range Rover, explains:

“Clients are increasingly looking for crafted details and true distinction. With SV Bespoke, we have the unique opportunity to co-create vehicles that reflect our clients’ personalities in a truly authentic way.”

The SV Bespoke commissioning service is now available on Range Rover Sport SV and Autobiography models. With it, Range Rover continues to push the envelope in the luxury automotive space—blending artisanal craftsmanship with cutting-edge performance to deliver vehicles that are not just owned, but authored.

2026 Range Rover SV Black

In a world where luxury often shouts, the 2026 Range Rover SV Black is a whisper in the dark—quietly confident, effortlessly elegant, and unmistakably exclusive. As Range Rover celebrates its 55th anniversary, the marque has introduced a compelling new chapter in the SV story: the all-new SV Black. It joins the refined SV Serenity and the audacious SV Intrepid, bringing a sleek, monochrome vision to the top tier of modern luxury SUVs.

A New Benchmark for Tailored Sophistication

With its “dipped in black” aesthetic, the SV Black represents the darkest and most visually striking Range Rover ever created. Finished in Narvik Gloss Black from grille to tailgate, the SV Black oozes silent power. Every element—from the polished mesh grille to the 23-inch alloy wheels and gloss black brake calipers—is meticulously designed to convey understated authority.

Inside, the experience continues with Near-Aniline Ebony leather, single-panel seat covers, and tactile black birch veneers. Even the gear shifter is finished in satin black ceramic, while Moonlight Chrome detailing adds a subtle shimmer to the moody, opulent interior. This is Range Rover design at its most minimalist and most intentional.

Immersive Technology Meets Wellness Innovation

Range Rover’s commitment to innovation isn’t just skin-deep. The 2025 SV models mark a significant leap forward in in-car sensory technology. Taking center stage is the world-first Immersive Sensory Floor, paired with the latest iteration of Range Rover’s Body-And-Soul-Seat (BASS) technology.

Standard across the SV line-up, including the SV Black, BASS now features eight integrated transducers—four in the seats and four in the footwells. The Sensory Floor transforms the entire cabin into a full-body sound chamber, allowing occupants to feel the rhythm through precisely synchronized haptic pulses in the deep-pile carpet. Whether you’re engaging with the Meridian Signature Surround System or relaxing with one of six curated wellness modes—ranging from “Calm” to “Invigorating”—the technology offers measurable benefits like reduced anxiety and improved focus.

Luxury Meets Sustainability

Even as Range Rover pushes the boundaries of luxury and technology, sustainability remains at the core of its ethos. From late 2025, the brand will introduce industry-first Pirelli P Zero tires made with over 70% bio-based and recycled materials, including silica from rice husks, recycled steel, and FSC™-certified natural rubber. These innovative tires, initially available on selected 22-inch wheels, strike a balance between high performance, durability, and environmental responsibility.

Performance Without Compromise

Of course, luxury in the SV Black doesn’t come at the expense of performance. Powered by a 615 PS V8, the SUV offers effortless acceleration and composed power delivery across all terrains. Buyers will be able to specify the SV Black in standard or long wheelbase, with four- or five-seat configurations, ensuring the perfect blend of presence, comfort, and practicality.

Global Premiere at Goodwood

The Range Rover SV Black will make its dynamic debut at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed ​​alongside its equally eye-catching sibling, the Range Rover Sport SV Black, offering enthusiasts a rare glimpse into the future of high-performance luxury mobility.
