At launch, the First Edition sat at the top of the new Range Rover Sport line-up, pairing the 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 with some of the model’s most sophisticated chassis technology. Dynamic Air Suspension with Dynamic Response Pro, all-wheel steering and an active rear differential give the P530 a breadth of abilities that extends well beyond straight-line performance, while First Edition details include 23-inch wheels, a Satin Forged Carbon Finisher and illuminated treadplates with First Edition script.

Finished in Santorini Black, this example combines the Black Exterior Pack with 23-inch Style 5135 wheels in Gloss Black for a particularly cohesive exterior. The panoramic sunroof sits above a Light Cloud and Ebony interior, providing a considered contrast to the darkened exterior. From the outside, the Santorini Black paint, Black Exterior Pack and Gloss Black wheels give the car a suitably stealthy presence. Open the door and its character becomes bright, warm and full of life.

As the range-topping launch edition of the new-generation Range Rover Sport, the First Edition holds a particularly special place in the model’s line-up. Combining the P530 V8 powertrain with a distinctive specification reserved for its introduction, this Santorini Black example brings together performance, luxury and everyday usability in one of the most desirable configurations from the model’s launch period.
