Ford said it first: any colour, as long as it’s black. 🖤 The Range Rover SV Black takes that idea quite literally. Under the all-black treatment sits a BMW-sourced 4.4-litre V8 producing 635 PS and 750 Nm. And thanks to the FTA, it comes in at ₹3.5 crore. But the real question is, did you catch the three-way connection between Land Rover and the three carmakers mentioned in this reel? 👀 Drop your answer in the comments. #RangeRoverSVBlack #RangeRover #OVERDRIVE #LuxurySUV #Automotive
