Range Rover Sport Manhart SV 650...The Range Rover Sport has just debuted the third generation and the Germans from Manhart took the opportunity to show their latest project, the Manhart SV 650. There will be only 10 copies. In its new delivery, the British luxury all-terrain has managed to improve its predecessor in all aspects without losing its personality or its excellent adventurous skills.

Outwardly, the new Range Rover Sport has many points in common with the latest Range Rover delivery. In this case, it adds a dynamic touch that really suits it. And following in the footsteps of the Vogue RV 650, the specialist anticipates a complete package of adjustments for the new model.

The curious thing is that it will be available exclusively in the Middle East. Note the power of petrodollars. Manhart has not revealed the price of its exclusive Range Rover Sport, but we can already imagine that it will not be cheap. Anyone interested in this ode to opulence can contact the specialist's sales team directly.

Shown in computer-generated sketches, the Wuppertal-based specialist focused on the aesthetics and mechanics of the massive SUV. Most notable are the huge 24-inch Forged Line forged wheels, which are finished in gold and completely fill the wheel arches. These are combined with the bodywork-specific gold decals.

All chrome has been replaced by the gold tone. This is the case with the air intakes, the grille, the hood, the side graphics and the tailgate. This tonality contrasts with the dark appearance of the bodywork. On the other hand, the Manhart badges replace virtually all Range Rover and Land Rover badges, except the one on the front grille.

The icing on the cake are the quad exhausts that protrude from under the rear bumper. Moving on to the interior, there is a new upholstery that combines black leather and Alcantara. It has gold stitching and details on the center console, steering wheel, dashboard, seats, seat belts and doors.

Under the hood, the 4.4-liter V8 biturbo P530 engine of BMW origin now delivers 650 hp and 890 Nm of torque. This means an important increase compared to the standard 530 hp. This is probably a simple ECU software adjustment, as it happens on the BMW X7 M50i. Rounding off the set are suspension adjustments and a new exhaust system.
