Monterey Car Week is shaping up to be jam-packed with debuts and the latest is the Range Rover Sport SV Carbon. It’s billed as the “ultimate expression of lightweight performance” and features an assortment of upgrades.

Given the name, it’s not surprising to learn the crossover comes equipped with the Forged Carbon exterior pack. This adds a number of carbon fiber touches including a grille surround, fender trim, and an exhaust system with carbon surrounds.

If the standard look isn’t sporty enough, customers can opt for an exposed carbon fiber hood. More notably, the company offers 23-inch carbon fiber wheels that help to push the weight savings to a combined 168 lbs (76 kg). If you keep ticking the boxes, you can also get an optional carbon ceramic braking system that has eight‑piston calipers in black, blue, carbon bronze or yellow.

The carbon fiber makeover extends to the cabin as there are carbon fiber‑backed performance seats with illuminated SV logos as well as Windsor leather or Ultrafabric upholstery. Buyers will also find carbon fiber trim, illuminated sillplates, and extended moonlight chrome accents.

Power is provided by a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine producing 626 hp (467 kW / 635 PS) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. It enables the model to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 3.7 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h). The crossover also comes equipped with an air suspension that has “pitch and roll control for maximum composure when cornering, accelerating and braking.”

The Range Rover Sport SV Carbon will be available to order late this year and pricing will be announced closer to launch.
