The “magnificent tiger” is the national animal of India, with 70 percent of the global population residing in the country. The large cats inspired JLR to create the first Indian-specific special edition of the Range Rover, with a limited production of 12 units.
The Range Rover SV Ranthambore Edition is named after the Ranthambore National Park, which plays an important role in the preservation of tigers. The model is a product of Range Rover’s SV Bespoke division, and is based on the long-wheelbase bodystyle.

The exterior is painted in a bespoke deep black shade, with a “rich red shimmering effect”. This is combined with Corinthian Bronze accents (grille, bumpers, side-gills, mirror caps, tailgate and badges), and a few Anthracite inserts, designed to look like the stripes of a tiger.
The special Range Rover rides on a cool set of 23-inch forged alloy wheels finished in Dark Gray with Corinthian Bronze inserts.
The interior tastefully combines Caraway and light Perlino semi-aniline leather, with light linear wenge veneers, chrome jewellery finishes, and white ceramic dials. The SV Bespoke division also added custom cushions on the rear seats bearing the name of the special edition, alongside unique embroidery on the seatbacks.
Another cool touch is the powered club table for the rear passengers with deployable cup holders and a small fridge complete with SV-etched glassware. Finally, the numbered “Ranthambore Edition” side sills show that your tiger-inspired Range Rover is one of twelve units.
Under the hood lies the stock turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine of the Range Rover Autobiography, generating 393 hp (293 kW / 398 PS) and 550 Nm (405.6 lb-ft) of torque.
Land Rover didn’t announce the price of the Range Rover SV Ranthambore Edition, but pledged to offer a portion of the profits to the Wildlife Conservation Trust of India.
