It hasn’t taken long for German tuning house Manhart Performance to wave their ‘schnell’ stick at the all-new Range Rover – this is the RV 650.
Land Rover’s monolithic new flagship is most certainly imposing as is, however that sort of thing has never stopped Manhart Performance. Their latest creation is the RV 650 which is Manhart’s take on none other than the latest iteration of an iconic nameplate, the Range Rover Vogue. Their characteristic black exterior look with golden accents in combination with Manhart’s Forged Line wheels in each corner finished in gold certainly look the part.
For the RV 650, a newly upholstered cabin with leather and Alcantara in black and gold ties the interior to the exterior, reminding customers of the fact that this is no ordinary Range Rover. Certain elements of the clean and modern interior have been updated with a smattering of gold accents here and there bringing the interior of the SUV to life.
In terms of power and performance, the all-new Range Rover makes use of BMW engines, this one in particular the same 4,4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 a la the M50i badged BMW models, a motor to which Manhart are no strangers. In this application, power has been raised to a not insignificant 480 kW which will definitely get this ‘Rangey up on its feet. An optional upgrade of the vehicle’s chassis and chassis systems is available to improve stability and on request, Manhart will also offer a custom exhaust system. As with all Manhart products, customisation is the name of the game and RV650 is no different, a myriad options are available for personalisation and customisation over and above what they have detailed for this Range Rover.
