UPDATE: The 2019 Range Rover SV Coupe has been cancelled.
Land Rover will introduce the Range Rover SV Coupe at the Geneva Motor Show in March, a 2-door take on its classic full-size luxury SUV designed to honor the original Range Rover, which was also introduced with two doors back in 1970. The limited-edition vehicle also pays homage to Land Rover’s 70th anniversary this year.
“Land Rover created the luxury SUV sector with Range Rover almost 50 years ago,” said John Edwards, Land Rover Special Operations managing director. “In launching the new Range Rover SV Coupe, we will offer clients an alluring combination of peerless luxury and rarity. Unveiling this special vehicle at the Geneva 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 hand-assembled Range Rover SV Coupe will be limited to just 999 units. Land Rover teased the announcement with a release of an interior image, while saving the exterior view for a later date. The vehicle is the product of the company’s Special Vehicle Operations unit, which is charged with building the vehicles at the SV Technical Center in Ryton-on-Dunsmore in Warwickshire, England.
“The Range Rover SV Coupe is a highly compelling deign with peerless refinement and uncompromised sophistication from its breathtaking exterior proportions to its sumptuous, beautifully appointed interior,” said Gerry McGovern, Land Rover chief design officer. “This is a vehicle that will resonate on an emotional level.”
