Celebrating two decades of sporting luxury, the Range Rover Sport TWENTY Edition distills the model’s greatest hits into one striking package, from SV-derived performance to bold anniversary styling

Every Range Rover model is an ode to finesse, performance, and freedom from compromise. The Range Rover Sport TWENTY Edition kicks that celebration into overdrive, commemorating two decades of iconic models that continue to redefine sporting luxury.

In 2004, Land Rover debuted the Range Stormer concept car, the sportiest silhouette the brand had shown off to date. The Range Stormer kicked off three generations of Range Rover Sport, with each successive generation refining the performance and aesthetics of the legendary nameplate.

The TWENTY Edition carries all that history in its design, and most importantly, under its hood, with two performance-driven powertrain options, a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 or a P5503 six-cylinder hybrid engine. The powertrains and performance touches throughout are drawn from the Range Rover Sport SV, launched in 2023 and conceived as the brand’s calling card for power, handling, and dynamism.

Since debuting Sport in the early 2000s, the team at Land Rover have honed the line’s design language, moving away from traditional SUV boxy builds to sleeker, more refined silhouettes; this is, after all, an SUV with sportscar DNA. There is an undeniable touch of Le Mans in the athletic exterior of the TWENTY Edition, with its clean surfaces and taut proportions that hint at its speed, hunger, and capability. A signature ultra-metallic Sanguinello orange paint pays tribute to the finishes of both the original Range Stormer and the first-edition Range Rover Sport; in fact, an orange has been offered in every iteration of the model.

Inside, the TWENTY Edition is outfitted with punchy, sleek Ebony Windsor seats, lovingly borrowed from the Sport SV. This is Range Rover Sport in its purest distillation: a pared-back, streamlined look paired with buttery, opulent leather. Comfort and power, smoothness and style – it’s all part of the icon’s 20-year legacy.

The dynamically dark interior is finished with forged carbon veneers and a black suedecloth headlining, giving the cabin an irresistibly textured and shadowed look. An optional Black Exterior Pack brings that effect inside-out, finishing the interior with “TWENTY” scripting on the illuminated treadplates and center console, while sprucing up the exterior with commemorative etching and mighty 23-inch gloss sparkle silver wheels.

The debut of the Range Rover Sport kicked off a new era for luxury vehicles, blurring the lines between performance and luxury in a way no road machine had before. Today, those boundaries no longer exist, and the TWENTY Edition is proof: we really can have it all.
