Land Rover has announced that it will be revealing the “world’s first full-size luxury SUV coupe” at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show this March.
Called the Range Rover SV Coupe, it will take inspiration from the design of the original Range Rover as well as combining the newer design ethos of the current line-up.
With a two-door layout, the SV Coupe is being specially-built by Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations department, which in recent times has built some special Land Rover models.
Only 999 of them will be made, with each unit being hand-built by the SVO technicians at the factory in Warwickshire.
Gerry McGovern, chief design officer at Land Rover, said: “The Range Rover SV Coupé is a highly compelling design with peerless refinement and uncompromised sophistication from its breath-taking exterior proportions to its sumptuous, beautifully appointed, interior. This is a vehicle that will resonate on an emotional level.”
Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations director John Edwards added: “Land Rover created the luxury SUV sector with Range Rover almost 50 years ago. In launching the new Range Rover SV Coupé, 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.”
The first images of the car will be revealed on March 6, with the car getting its public debut at 11:45am at the Geneva Motor Show that day.
