Available only on the Range Rover Sport Dynamic SE, the Stealth Pack adds a satin exterior finish with glossy accents and various dark flourishes.
Land Rover today unveiled the Stealth Pack, a $10,305 option on the Range Rover Sport that features a satin-finish Carpathian Gray exterior and a host of black accents which they say convey “empowerment and strength”.
The satin finish on the exterior is a first for a Range Rover Sport, as it’s actually a protective film that Land Rover says can be removed or replaced if it gets scratched or otherwise damaged.
With glossy black wheels, roof, and brake calipers, the Stealth Pack makes the Range Rover Sport look like something Darth Vader would drive to plastic surgery appointments. Naturally, he’d choose to continue the black theme with an Ebony leather interior, but a Light Cloud color option is available.
The extra $10k for the Stealth Pack on a Dynamic SE-trimmed Range Rover Sport brings the all-in price into six-figures and appears to be available now on Land Rover’s US site.
Commentary
More than $100,000 is a lot for a baby Range Rover, particularly as this Stealth Pack is purely an aesthetic upgrade. But consider for a moment the type of buyer who is going to be turned on by the idea of a (deep breath) Land Rover Range Rover Sport Dynamic SE Stealth Pack. They could have charged $30k and that’d only have made these types of car buyers want it more. This is a car for people who want to live inside a Guy Ritchie film but whose only real danger in life is scratches on the paint, a concern Land Rover has generously addressed. This is a deeply unserious car, the kind that would be driven by tracksuited Russian gangsters in a satirical action film, satire that’ll go right over the head of the Stealth Pack buyer, who instead will view themselves as an oligarch just for test driving one.
The significance of this car for the automotive enthusiast is twofold. Firstly, it does look quite good. I’m looking forward to the first time I see a Stealth Pack in its natural habitat, i.e. parked poorly outside a suburban Starbucks. But the other significance is an interpersonal one. If you find yourself walking towards a Stealth Pack, and the door opens, inevitably revealing a descending pair of Gucci slides, you can know with confidence it’d be best just to turn around and walk the other way.
