As development work presses on with the all-new Range Rover, Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations has launched a pair of exclusive new Range Rover special editions created by its SV Bespoke personalisation team. These exclusive vehicles are confirmed for South African market introduction.

The full name is quite impressive;Range Rover SVAutobiography Ultimate and this takes customisation and bespoke fitments to its highest level. Finished off by theSpecial Vehicle Operations Technical Centre in the UK, these vehicles showcase what's possible when you want true personalisation.

“Range Rover has defined the luxury SUV segment for more than half a century, with our SVAutobiography models offering customers a world-class travel experience – whether driving, or being driven. These new Ultimate editions elevate that refinement and sophistication even further.” saidMark Turner, Commercial Director, Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations.

That colour for starters is totally unique. It's asatin-finished Orchard Green paintwork complemented by a Narvik Black roof and copper detailing. The badges are copper-edged and there's subtle SV badging inside and out. There's evenilluminated Ultimate edition treadplates.

The SVAutobiography is long-wheelbase, meaning rear passengers are treated to exceptionally high levels of comfort and refinement.Reclining airline-style heated and cooled semi-aniline leather rear seats provide over 1.2m of rear legroom, hot stone massage function, plus calf and footrests for rear occupants. A full-length centre console with integrated Zenith timepiece, refrigerated compartment and deployable tables make it a potential office on the go. TheVintage Tan leather interior trim and Copper Weave Carbon Fibre finishers looks sensational, but Range Rover is also offering the ultimate leather fromthe Italian artisans at Poltrona Frau.

In terms of engines, there's a 416 kW supercharged 5.0-litre V8 motor, but if you're keen to show off your eco credentials, then we reckon the P400e plug-in hybrid should be your port of call. This vehicle is capable of driving up to 40 km on pure electric power alone. We reckon most will go for the fantastic V8 engine though and Range Rover itself says it's the most driver-focused of the pair.

You're properly spoilt in the back. Look at that legroom!
