Land Rover teases two-door coupe 24 | 01 | 2018
LAND ROVER HAS released teaser image of its new two-door Range Rover SV Coupe. It’s understood the company is planning a limited production run of 999, with prices expected to start above £200,000. The car will make its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March. (Related: Land Rover Defender Works V8 launched)
The image shows the interior of the bespoke two-door coupe, resplendent with its wood-veneered centre console which extends from the front of the cabin to the rear. Noticeably, there are a pair of individual rear seats placed either side, and the bespoke trim distinguishes the coupe’s cabin from that of the regular Range Rover.

Each of the 999 SV Coupes will be hand-assembled by Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations department at the SV Technical Centre in Ryton-on-Dunsmore in Warwickshire.
“The Range Rover SV Coupe is a highly compelling design with peerless refinement and uncompromised sophistication from its breathtaking exterior proportions to its sumptuous, beautifully appointed, interior,” Gerry McGovern, Land Rover Chief Design Officer, said. “This is a vehicle that will resonate on an emotional level.”
The SV Coupe is a celebration of the Range Rover bloodline, with a dramatic two-door silhouette which alludes to its unique heritage — Range Rover launched as a two-door in 1970, as shown in our launch photographs — while being thoroughly modern and contemporary.
“Land Rover created the luxury SUV sector with Range Rover almost 50 years ago,” John Edwards, Land Rover Special Operations managing director, said.
“In launching the new Range Rover SV Coupe, we will offer clients an alluring combination of peerless luxury and rarity. Unveiling this special vehicle at Geneva International Motor Show in March, during Land Rover’s 70th Anniversary year, will be a defining moment for Land Rover, the Range Rover portfolio and Special Vehicle Operations.”
