The Veritas tuning program transforms this Range Rover into a purposeful vehicle which is equipped with full carbon fiber front bumper, side skirts, and rear bumper.

To go even further into details, it is important to mention that each individual spoke on the VSR-163 is machined in a triangular shape that gradually gets wider toward the rear. This small element significantly improves machine time over standard squared spokes.

Lumma Design Range Rover CLR R Carbon Package

2014-Lumma-Design-Range-Rover-CLR-R-Carbon-shadow Lumma Design rolled out their CLR R makeover kit for the new Range Rover last year. Today, you can build on that update with another update: Lumma Design’s comprehensive carbon fiber package. There’s also a power increase aspect to this new project.

Let’s not forget, however, that the original CLR R package already offers a re-styled carbon fiber hood with (more than really needed) air scoops. It’s also responsible for the new bumpers, the flaring wheel arches and lower door sills.

The new stuff includes the front grille, door handles, mirror covers, rear spoiler lip, rear and side trim strips and an anti-glare panel for the bonnet – all with a gloriously exposed carbon fiber look. There is also a stainless steel exhaust system on offer. It adds four tailpipes that give the Rangie a deep, sonorous voice and lower the overall backpressure. Bulky 12.0J x 22-inch Lumma Exclusive alloy wheels complement the overall exterior appeal.

If the converted Range Rover happens to be a diesel, why not ad the Lumma D-Box? It’s a performance upgrade feature that amps up the power from 340 hp to about 370 hp. It also adds 100 Nm of torque to a total of 800.

Climb aboard and you find yourself amidst a garden of plush: Alcantara seats with diamond-quilt patterns, Alcantara/leather dashboard, door panels and center console. Don’t be surprised to find a few carbon fiber inserts here and there as well. The flat-bottomed sports steering wheel too wears an Alcantara finish on the grippy parts. Finishing off the remodelled cabin are smaller but no less important details such as the aluminium pedal set with non-slip rubber feet, stainless-steel door sill scuff plates with illuminated Lumma logo, and Lumma Design carpet mats.
