MITSUBISHI showcased its new Special Vehicle Projects programme with the debut of the Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian SVP at the 2017 Commercial Vehicle Show.
SVP will cater for Mitsubishi customers who want exclusive, highly distinctive vehicles, as these models will be produced in small volumes, with significant changes to the exterior design and specific colour options.
Inspired by the even-tougher looking one-off Mitsubishi L200 Desert Warrior ‘Pre-runner’, produced with Top Gear Magazine – that also debuted on the Mitsubishi stand, the SVP is based on the highly successful Mitsubishi L200 Bavarian Double Cab and is limited to just 250, it will be available half in Electric Blue metallic and the other half in Cosmos Black.
You won’t miss the SVP from the outside, with the additions of 17-inch bespoke black alloy wheels with BF Goodrich all-terrain tyres, shrouded by exclusive new wheel arch extensions, while the purposeful look is reinforced by an all-new grille and an exclusive black finish on the headlamp and tail lamp bezels, fog lamp surrounds, roof rails and rear bumper.
Completing the Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian SVP’s unique look are shark fin-inspired side steps, load bed illumination, puddle lamps, soft-opening tailgate damper and an SVP emblem on the tailgate.
Move inside and this limited-edition model has Barbarian-inspired leather seats with suede-like ‘Alston’ inserts. Each vehicle’s individual limited edition number and the SVP logo are also stitched into the headrests. Front and rear foot-well mood lighting together with illuminated Barbarian door entry guards add to the special feel of the interior.
This is on top of the already copious standard equipment that also includes rain and dusk sensors, keyless entry, satellite navigation, Bluetooth, Bi-Xenon headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights, cruise control and reversing camera.
Powered by the proven and efficient 2.4-litre turbo diesel engine, this engine produces 180hp and 430Nm of torque, while the rotary-dial controlled Super Select 4WD system can be combined with a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel paddle shifters.
The Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian SVP is available to order now and is priced from £28,479 (excluding VAT) for both blue and black versions.
