Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has introduced an exclusive, limited-run Range Rover Sport SV Edition Two in South Africa, with only 23 units available. This model follows the transition from the SVR to the SV when JLR launched the current generation Range Rover Sport two years ago. The SV Bespoke variant, which was initially introduced toward the end of the previous model’s lifecycle, makes a return as a special edition.
Performance and Powertrain
Despite its exclusivity, the SV Edition Two does not feature any mechanical modifications. Retaining the same powertrain as its predecessor, it is equipped with a BMW-derived 4.4-litre twin-turbo mild-hybrid V8 engine. This powerhouse generates 467 kW and 750 Nm of torque, channeled to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission from ZF.
Mirroring the standard SV, the Edition Two accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds and boasts a limited top speed of 290 km/h. Additionally, the Dynamic Launch Mode temporarily increases torque output to 800 Nm for enhanced acceleration. Other carried-over features include Brembo carbon ceramic brakes, 6D adaptive air suspension and dampers, an SV-tuned active exhaust system, an Active Locking Differential, and all-wheel steering.
