Debuting at Design Miami, the SV Bespoke department showcases their latest one-off creation, demonstrating the endless ability to customize your factory-ordered Range Rover to your heart's content – so long as the size of your wallet matches the expanse of your creativity. The SV "Candeo" – Latin for "to shine" – exemplifies what's possible from Range Rover's bespoke department. Land Rover
Hand-applied duo-tone fade paint evokes the Miami coastal skyline
Finished in satin pearl white with a sky-blue satin upper section, the Range Rover SV Candeo's color scheme represents the white, sandy beaches of the Floridian coast contrasted by clear blue skies above. It's a design choice that exhibits customers' abilities to tailor the paint scheme of their bespoke-ordered Range Rovers to match the environments they'll inhabit, thus allowing the SUV and its surroundings to emphasize each other harmoniously.

Range Rover's SV Bespoke service offers clients the ability to commission their Range Rover builds any way they'd like, going well above and beyond the factory-available options, materials, and paint colors on standard, non-bespoke models. Overall, the Range Rover SV Candeo provides a compelling example of the kinds of ideas SV Bespoke can bring to life. Land Rover
SV Bespoke offers a wide array of unique materials both inside and outside
Through the SV Bespoke department, it's possible to choose from a variety of unique materials for everything from interior veneers and seat upholstery to carpeting and exterior badging. The SV Candeo uses 18-karat solid gold for its exterior badging. Weighing in at 900 grams, the badging is 3D printed for maximum precision, and hand-fitted by a British Jeweller with a polished outer edge and brushed face.

Range Rover states that the gold material is "recycled from 100% fully audited recycled sources, preserving natural resources." The unique badging adds a notable contrast to the front end of the SV Candeo, catching the light of the Floridian sun to add some extra flair to the flashy SUV. Land Rover
SV Bespoke adds some serious sense of occasion to its interior environments
Finished with a lively combination of Liberty Blue Near-Aniline and Perlino Semi-Aniline leather, the SV Candeo's interior matches the creative elements of its exterior style. By evoking elements of sunshine through embroidered rays, the overall theme of the Floridian coastline extends to the SUV's interior environment as well. The "geometric sundial repeat pattern" uses 90,000 stitches per cushion to maximize precision – a key priority for the SV Bespoke department. Land Rover
The SV Candeo retains all the luxurious amenities of the factory-standard Range Rover SV, including SV Signature suite 24-way adjustable massaging seats, a drink chiller compartment, and an electronically deployable Club Table that rises from the full-length center console. Natural Dark Wood veneers and white ceramic finishes on interior controls and the gear selector add even more unique details to the interior environment.

SV Bespoke models still benefit from the Range Rover SV's updated mechanicals
Powered by a BMW-sourced, twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 with mild-hybrid technology, the Range Rover SV Candeo benefits from 615 horsepower and a 162-mph top speed, paired with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission. This means that the super-luxurious, full-size Range Rover SUV that weighs over 6,000 pounds can jaunt from 0-60 km/h in just 4.3 seconds on the regular wheelbase.
