Carbon Revolution supplies carbon fibre wheels for Range Rover
Australia’s Carbon Revolution will supply the carbon fibre wheels available on the just-revealed Range Rover Sport SV Edition Two.
“It’s wonderful to see Jaguar Land Rover 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) compared with Range Rover Sport P530 in nearest equivalent specification, which JLR claims allows the Range Rover Sport SV to accelerate 0-60 mph in as little as 3.6 seconds.
Jake 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,” Jake 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™.
