Pioneering 23‑inch carbon fibre wheel option contributes to 76kg total weight saving, minimising unsprung mass, improving handling, acceleration and ride quality
Carbon Revolution will supply the carbon fibre wheels available on the just-revealed Range Rover Sport SV Edition Two.
“It’s wonderful to see JLR extending its offering of our lightweight carbon fibre wheels, after the option was so popular on the Edition One,” said Carbon Revolution CEO Jake Dingle. “The pioneering 23-inch carbon fibre wheel option improves handling, acceleration and ride quality, increasing the Range Rover SV’s performance through the exceptional reduction in unsprung, rotating mass.”
The 23-inch single piece carbon fibre wheels contribute to a vehicle weight saving of 167.6 lbs. (76kg)1 which JLR claims allows the Range Rover Sport SV to accelerate 0-60mph in as little as 3.6 seconds.
Dingle said 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 said.
Built on the Company’s Mega-line, the carbon fibre wheels are available in a Satin and a Gloss finish, both of which feature Carbon Revolution’s patent-pending Diamond Weave Technology™.
