Range Rover Sport SV Edition Two: The 635-Horsepower Flagship Redefining Montreal's Luxury Performance Standard

The Range Rover Sport SV Edition Two continues the brand's high-performance legacy with four distinct design curations that push the boundaries of sporting luxury. Montreal drivers seeking the pinnacle of Range Rover engineering will find this limited-production model combines track-focused capability with the refinement expected from modern luxury vehicles.

For Quebec buyers who demand both aggressive performance and everyday usability, the SV Edition Two addresses a specific challenge. The vehicle delivers 635 horsepower and a 0-100 km/h time of 3.8 seconds while maintaining the composure required for Montreal's varied driving conditions—from Boulevard René-Lévesque traffic to weekend drives through the Laurentians.

Four Curated Design Expressions

The Range Rover Sport SV Edition Two introduces four carefully developed themes for 2024. Each curation pairs unique exterior finishes with carbon fibre options and interior configurations designed to create visually distinct characters.

The Blue Nebula Matte specification features a colour inspired by the Northern Atlantic coast, incorporating a subtle green undertone with a colour-shifting effect. This pairs with a Satin Forged Carbon exterior pack, painted carbon fibre bonnet, and 23-inch forged black alloy wheels complemented by Blue Nebula brake calipers. Inside, SV Performance Seats are finished in Light Cloud and Ebony Windsor leather.

The Marl Grey Gloss curation combines a Gloss Carbon Twill exterior pack with an Exposed Carbon Twill bonnet and 23-inch Carbon Gloss wheels featuring Sunrise Copper calipers. The interior offers Rosewood and Ebony Windsor leather.

For those preferring warmer tones, the Sunrise Copper Satin exterior finish includes a Satin Carbon Twill exterior pack, painted carbon fibre bonnet, and 23-inch forged black alloy wheels with red anodized calipers. The cabin features Ebony Windsor leather seats.

The fourth curation presents Ligurian Black Gloss with a Satin Carbon Twill exterior pack, exposed carbon fibre bonnet, and 23-inch Carbon Gloss wheels contrasted by Nano Yellow brake calipers. The interior utilizes Cinder and Ebony in Knit and Ultrafabrics PU—a sustainable alternative to traditional leather.

Each curation allows for customization through alternative wheel options, including new 22-inch Diamond-Turned alloy wheels with Satin Dark Grey contrast, plus different brake caliper colours. Buyers can specify body-coloured roofs or new Satin Forged Carbon Fibre Packs depending on exterior paint finish.

6D Dynamics Suspension Technology

The Range Rover Sport SV's most significant technical achievement is its 6D Dynamics suspension system. This setup debuts a world-first combination of hydraulic interlinked dampers, height-adjustable air springs, and pitch control. The semi-active system eliminates conventional anti-roll bars, dramatically reducing pitch and roll to maintain a near-level body stance during extreme cornering and acceleration.

The hydraulic interlinked configuration connects dampers across the vehicle, allowing the suspension to respond as a unified system rather than treating each corner independently. When the vehicle enters a corner at speed, the system redistributes hydraulic fluid to counteract body roll while maintaining wheel contact with the road surface.

Riding between 10 mm and 25 mm lower than standard Range Rover Sport models depending on drive mode, the 6D Dynamics suspension works with SV-tuned settings for Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, All-Wheel Steering, Torque Vectoring by Braking, Configurable Dynamics, and Active Locking Rear Differential. This integration delivers sports car-like responses while preserving the capability required for Quebec's diverse terrain and seasonal conditions.

Twin-Turbo V8 Mild-Hybrid Powertrain

Power comes from a 4.4-litre twin-turbo mild-hybrid V8 producing 635 horsepower and 750 Nm of torque. The engine incorporates parallel twin-scroll turbochargers and variable intake lift technology to optimize performance and throttle response across the power band.

The 48-volt mild-hybrid system harvests energy during deceleration and redeploys it during acceleration, reducing turbo lag and enhancing the stop-start system's refinement. This electrical assistance contributes to the vehicle's 3.8-second 0-100 km/h acceleration time while improving efficiency compared to non-hybrid V8 configurations.

The powertrain connects to an eight-speed automatic transmission with enlarged gear-shift paddles incorporating LED Edge-Lighting Technology. The symbols illuminate white during normal operation and change to red when SV Mode activates, providing visual confirmation of the vehicle's performance configuration.

SV Mode and Configurable Dynamics

The redesigned steering wheel features more pronounced thumb grips, a thicker rim, and an exclusive illuminated SV Mode button. A short press immediately configures suspension, powertrain, steering, transmission, and Active Exhaust for maximum performance. A long press opens the Configurable Dynamics menu, allowing drivers to tailor individual system characteristics.

SV Mode transforms the vehicle's behaviour across multiple parameters. Suspension damping firms to reduce body movement. Throttle mapping becomes more aggressive for immediate response. Steering weight increases to provide greater feedback through corners. The transmission maintains higher engine speeds in each gear to keep the powertrain in its optimal range. The Active Exhaust opens to deliver fuller engine sound.

For Montreal drivers, this configurability allows the vehicle to adapt between urban commuting requirements and spirited driving when conditions permit.

Weight Reduction Through Advanced Materials

The Range Rover Sport SV achieves a weight saving of up to 76 kg through strategic material selection and component optimization. The standard carbon fibre bonnet reduces front-end mass while improving weight distribution. Optional Carbon Ceramic Brakes—available for the first time on a Range Rover—reduce unsprung mass at each corner, improving suspension response and reducing rotational inertia.

The carbon ceramic brake system features eight-piston SV front calipers designed for consistent performance during repeated high-speed braking. The discs provide fade-resistant stopping power while reducing dust accumulation compared to conventional iron rotors.

Additional weight savings come from the available 23-inch carbon fibre wheels—the world's first on a production vehicle. These wheels minimize unsprung mass, allowing the suspension to maintain tire contact with road surfaces more effectively while improving acceleration, braking, and ride quality.

Interior Design and Body and Soul Seat Technology

Inside, exclusive SV Performance Seats feature integrated headrests, carbon fibre backboards, an illuminated SV logo, and more sculpted bolsters for secure support during performance driving. The 16-way adjustable seats include massage functionality and heating and cooling for comfort across Quebec's temperature extremes.

Standard Body and Soul Seat technology incorporates the latest in-car sensory audio system with wellness benefits. Developed with technical partner SUBPAC, the system uses vibro-acoustic technology to create a multisensory audio experience. Six wellness programmes allow occupants to feel sound through their seats, transforming the cabin into an environment that extends beyond traditional audio systems.

Matching rear seats maintain the dynamic design with pronounced side bolsters while retaining powered recline and 60/40 split folding functionality. Rear passengers benefit from heating and cooling as standard.

Michelin Performance Tire Options

Range Rover Sport SV buyers can specify a specially designed summer tire that extends cornering capability, achieving up to 1.2G steady-state lateral acceleration in dry conditions—a 0.1G increase versus standard all-season tires.

Created with technical partner Michelin, the Pilot Sport S 5 tire uses different compounds across the tread width to maximize dynamic performance and wear characteristics. Front tires measure 275/40R23, while rears use 305/35R23 sizing to support the vehicle's rear-biased power delivery.

For winter or all-terrain use, standard-fit Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires feature unique construction, tread pattern, and compound formulated to balance performance with year-round capability—important for Montreal drivers facing seasonal extremes.

Exclusive Branding and Distinctive Details

Every Range Rover Sport SV Edition Two includes exclusive branding on the front splitter, centre console, treadplates, and puddle lamps. These details immediately identify the vehicle as the performance flagship while maintaining the reductive design philosophy central to modern Range Rover aesthetics.

The enlarged gear-shift paddles incorporate innovative LED Edge-Lighting Technology that changes colour based on drive mode selection, providing intuitive feedback without additional digital displays.

Interior trim options include new Satin Forged Carbon Fibre finishers to match exterior specifications, with Twill Carbon Fibre trim also available. Matching carbon fibre seat backs create visual continuity between exterior and interior materials.

Performance Meets Montreal Reality

The Range Rover Sport SV Edition Two's capabilities extend beyond track performance. The vehicle's advanced chassis systems and configurable dynamics allow it to transition between different driving scenarios without compromise.

Montreal's urban environment demands precise low-speed manoeuvrability, refined ride quality over degraded surfaces, and quiet operation in residential areas. The SV Edition Two addresses these requirements through its adaptive suspension, which softens damping for city driving while maintaining control over potholes and expansion joints.

Weekend escapes to the Laurentians or Eastern Townships require high-speed stability on autoroutes, confident handling on winding mountain roads, and all-weather capability. The vehicle's All-Wheel Steering system improves high-speed stability while reducing the turning circle for tight mountain switchbacks. The Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system automatically distributes torque between axles to optimize traction on variable surfaces.
