To celebrate two decades of the Range Rover Sport, Land Rover has unveiled the Twenty Edition. This special release serves as both a tribute to the model’s heritage and a high-specification showcase of its current capabilities.
A Nod to Heritage: The Sanguinello Orange
While the edition is available in classic Santorini Black and Ostuni White, the centerpiece of this launch is the Sanguinello Orange paint option. This specific hue is a deliberate callback to two pivotal moments in the model’s history:
– The 2004 Range Stormer concept, which first hinted at the vehicle’s aggressive design language.
– The Vesuvius Orange used on the original Range Rover Sport First Edition.
By utilizing this color, Land Rover is connecting its modern luxury SUV to the experimental roots that defined the line twenty years ago.
Premium Specifications and Design
The Twenty Edition is built upon the Dynamic SE trim, enhanced with several exclusive aesthetic and functional upgrades:
Exterior Enhancements
- Black Exterior Pack: Adds a sleek, aggressive look to the bodywork.
- Custom Badging: Subtle “Twenty” emblems located on the front fenders.
- Wheel Options: 23-inch wheels available in either gloss black or gloss silver finishes.
Interior Luxury
The cabin is designed to mirror the high-end feel of the Range Rover Sport SV. Key interior features include:
– Ebony Windsor leather sport seats.
– Forged carbon trim and a black suedecloth headliner.
– Illuminated sill plates and “Twenty” badging on the center console.
– Advanced Comfort: Heated, ventilated, and massaging capabilities for both front and rear passengers, complemented by a heated steering wheel.
Technology and Audio
The cockpit is centered around a high-tech interface featuring a 13.7-inch digital instrument cluster and a 13.1-inch infotainment system. To enhance the driving experience, the vehicle includes an 18-speaker Meridian 3D surround sound system and a wireless smartphone charger.
Performance and Pricing
Under the hood, the Twenty Edition remains a powerhouse. It is driven by a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine producing 523 hp. This setup allows the SUV to achieve:
– 0–60 mph: 4.3 seconds
– Top Speed: 155 mph
The Range Rover Sport Twenty Edition is available for order immediately, with a starting price of $114,800 in the United States.
With over one million units sold throughout its lifespan, the Range Rover Sport has cemented its place as a cornerstone of the luxury crossover market. This limited edition serves as a high-performance victory lap for a model that successfully bridged the gap between rugged off-road capability and high-end urban luxury.
