WELL, check this out. This is not your normal Mitsubishi L200. This is a protein shake fed, muscled up L200 pick-up: the new Barbarian SVP II.

Mitsubishi’s Special Projects Division (SVP) has already produced Barbarian SVP I; and in true sequel fashion we have SVP II.

Pricing is from close on £30K plus the VAT.

The Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian SVP II is no wall-flower: there’s a striking two-tone colour scheme and a beefed up exterior and jazzed up interior.

Only 250 Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian SVP II models will be produced with half available in pearlescent Diamond Black and the other half in metallic Atlantic Grey.

Details on either are picked out in contrasting orange highlights.

On top of the standard specification of the Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian Double Cab, the new SVP II special edition adds some eye-catching extras.

There are 17-inch bespoke black and orange alloy wheels with BF Goodrich all-terrain tyres; aggressive wheel arch extensions; SVP grille and roof rails, both of which are also finished in black and orange.

The fog lamp rings, front and rear light bezels, door handle recess covers, puddle lamps and tailgate handle surround are all picked out in orange.

SVP tailgate badging, a colour-coded bumper and shark fin-inspired black side steps make up the rest of the SVP II’s striking appearance.

The exterior colour scheme is carried over into the interior. Each Barbarian SVP II’s individual limited edition number, plus the SVP logo, is stitched into the headrests and there’s also a unique ‘SVP’ embossed mat set with orange piping. The distinctive theme continues with orange illuminated door entry guards and front and rear foot-well mood lighting.

Standard equipment of the Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian SVP II includes:

  • Mitsubishi Smartphone Link Display Audio (SDA) system for Apple or Android smartphone;
  • rain and dusk sensors;
  • keyless operation;
  • Bluetooth;
  • Bi-Xenon headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights;
  • cruise control; and
  • reversing camera.
