Carbon fiber wheels added to Range Rover Sport SV Edition Two

Carbon Revolution’s (Geelong, Australia) carbon fiber wheels are making an increasing presence in the automotive industry, with a recent announcement of their availability on the just-revealed Range Rover Sport SV Edition Two.

“It’s wonderful to see JLR extending its offering of our lightweight carbon fiber wheels, after the option was so popular on the Edition One,” says Carbon Revolution CEO Jake Dingle. “The 23-inch carbon fiber wheel option improves handling, acceleration and ride quality, increasing the Range Rover SV’s performance through the reduction in unsprung, rotating mass.”

The 23-inch single-piece composite wheels contribute to a vehicle weight saving of 167.6 pounds (when fitted with all lightweight options. Compared with Range Rover Sport P530 in nearest equivalent specification), which JLR claims enables the Range Rover Sport SV to accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in as little as 3.6 seconds.

Dingle says the company was pleased with how the wheels had been received in the past year, having debuted on the Range Rover Sport SV Edition One with demand subsequently quoted as being “off the chart.” “As wheels get larger in diameter the weight saving we offer becomes more pronounced. It’s clear that consumers are really appreciating the benefits of saving this much weight,” Dingle adds.

Built on Carbon Revolution’s Mega-line, the carbon fiber wheels are available in a satin and a gloss finish, both of which feature Carbon Revolution’s patent-pending Diamond Weave technology.

This news follows Carbon Revolution’s wins at the 2024 Automotive News Pace Awards, which recognize automotive suppliers for superior innovation, technological advancement and business performance.
