Range Rover SV Platinum Edition: A Refined Tribute to South African Craftsmanship

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Drawing inspiration from platinum — a metal prized for its rarity, resilience and luminous finish — the Range Rover SV Platinum Edition emerges as a highly curated statement of contemporary luxury. Conceived exclusively for South Africa, just five examples of this collector’s edition have been commissioned, positioning it among the rarest expressions of the marque’s bespoke capability.

Sculpted in Precious Detail

The exterior aesthetic channels the precision of high jewellery design. A distinctive Platinum Satin finish defines its presence, complemented by refined Silver Chrome and Graphite Atlas accents. Bespoke script detailing and subtle gold elements elevate the silhouette, including a contrasting gold roof — a signature flourish within the brand’s custom portfolio.

Completing the visual statement are imposing 23-inch diamond-turned alloy wheels, finished with satin gold inserts that lend the vehicle a poised yet powerful stance.

An Interior Rooted in Heritage

Within the cabin, craftsmanship takes centre stage. Supple Perlino leather meets rich Caraway tones, creating a layered, tactile environment that feels both modern and intimate. Silver Noble Chrome accents and natural cream Ash Burr veneer introduce a calm, sculptural elegance throughout the interior architecture.

A defining element of the Platinum Edition is its tribute to South African artistry. Bespoke embroidery across the seats and accent cushions draws influence from traditional wooden block-printing techniques associated with Limpopo province. The geometric motifs, rendered in satin stitching, subtly echo the sheen of platinum mined from the region’s soil. This distinctive pattern extends to the treadplates, ensuring each entrance and exit reflects a connection to local heritage.

Innovation Beneath the Surface

As part of the SV lineage, the Platinum Edition integrates advanced sensory technologies. Rear Body-And-Soul-Seat functionality and Sensory Floor technology create a multi-dimensional audio experience, allowing passengers not only to hear music but to physically feel it through haptic feedback embedded in both seats and floor mats.

Standard features include a ClearSight digital interior rear-view mirror, powered gesture tailgate, soft-close doors, four-zone climate control and an auto-folding load space cover — reinforcing the vehicle’s seamless blend of comfort and intelligence.

Engineered for both refinement and capability, electronic air suspension with Dynamic Response Pro, an Electronic Active Differential with torque vectoring, configurable terrain programs and adaptive off-road cruise control ensure confident composure across varied landscapes. Power is delivered by a commanding 452kW V8 engine, offering performance to match its commanding presence.

A Rare Acquisition

Priced at (R 6,223,000), the Range Rover SV Platinum Edition is available exclusively within South Africa, underscoring its status as a limited cultural statement rather than a global release.

In merging bespoke British engineering with distinctly South African artistry, this five-unit commission stands as both a luxury performance SUV and a celebration of place — where rarity is not simply a feature, but the foundation of its identity.

The Business of Being Yourself. Yasmin Furmie, co The Business of Being Yourself.

Yasmin Furmie, co-founder of SiSi The Collection, talks to Grandiose about personal style, collecting with intention and building a design language that refuses to follow the crowd.  Her philosophy is perhaps best captured in the words she uses to describe William Kentridge designers including Lezanne Viviers, Thebe Magugu, Rich Mnisi, Sindiso Khumalo and Lukhanyo Mdingi, Furmie makes a compelling case for individuality, excellence and staying true to what you believe in.

She also reflects on reinvention, creative freedom and the importance of allowing yourself to change direction. Her philosophy is perhaps best captured in the words she uses to describe William Kentridge: “The work speaks for itself.”

Twin Mercury Racing 500R V8s produce a combined 1,000 hp and 1,000 Nm-class performance, driving the Shadow 1000 to a top speed of up to 60 knots.

Inside, Moonstone and Graphite upholstery, carbon detailing, configurable deck layouts, premium audio, RGB lighting and a suite of navigation and control technologies create a boat designed equally for high-speed cruising, entertaining and relaxation.

With its unmistakable BRABUS presence, the Shadow 1000 is less about simply arriving somewhere than making an entrance on the way there.

KARUIZAWA 1960: THE WHISKY BOTTLE THAT EXISTS TWIC KARUIZAWA 1960: THE WHISKY BOTTLE THAT EXISTS TWICE IN HISTORY

On 18 September, Sotheby’s will offer one of the most extraordinary bottles in Japanese whisky collecting: Karuizawa 1960 Cask #5627, “The Prototype.”

Estimated at $400,000–$600,000, the bottle was drawn directly from Karuizawa’s oldest cask on 20 December 2012, before the celebrated 1960 vintage was commercially released.

Only two bottles were ever hand-filled directly from Cask #5627 at this pre-release stage.

This bottle was filled by Osami Uchibori, Karuizawa’s final Master Distiller, who had worked at the distillery since the cask was originally distilled in 1960.

Matured for 52 years, Cask #5627 ultimately yielded just 41 commercially available bottles.

The Prototype is more than an exceptionally rare whisky.

It is a surviving piece of a distillery that can never produce again.

Some bottles preserve whisky. Others preserve history.

While Bugatti now enters the hybrid age with the Tourbillon, the W-16 will forever remain one of the greatest engines ever built.
