Twisted Automotive has created an ultra-exclusive, high-performance reimagining of the classic three-door Range Rover. The TRRC, short for “Twisted’s interpretation of a Range Rover Classic,” blends iconic design with modern power—a 500-hp Corvette V8—and costs more than many supercars.
A Nod to Heritage, A Leap in Performance
The TRRC project stems from founder Charles Fawcett’s personal connection to the Range Rover his father drove in the 1980s. Production is capped at just 12 units per year, priced at roughly $445,000 (excluding the donor vehicle), and the entire 2026 run is already sold out.
This restomod isn’t about mere nostalgia; it’s a calculated move to meet the demand for luxury off-road vehicles that combine classic charm with modern engineering.
The Heart of the Beast: Corvette V8 Power
At the core of the TRRC lies a heavily modified 6.2-liter LT1 V8—the same engine found in the Chevrolet Corvette—delivering around 500 horsepower. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, this powertrain represents a significant upgrade, leveraging Twisted’s two decades of Land Rover tuning expertise.
The vehicle isn’t just about raw power. Upgraded suspension, reinforced bushings, and enhanced differentials ensure performance without sacrificing the Range Rover’s signature ride quality. The braking system—six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers—provides ample stopping power without compromising comfort.
Refined Design, Hand-Built Excellence
The TRRC’s design balances heritage with modern refinement. The front bumper echoes the simplicity of 1970s models, while grille and lighting cues draw inspiration from later 1990s versions. New hand-formed aluminum panels improve finish quality, addressing a common weakness in older Range Rovers. Buyers can customize the look, including options to paint the C-pillar, eliminating the classic “floating roof” effect.
Inside, the cabin has been completely reworked for improved ergonomics and comfort. Lower-mounted seats enhance the driving position, while leather upholstery, heated seats, and an eight-channel audio system provide modern luxury. Sound deadening is deliberately exposed, adding a bespoke touch to the interior finish. Each TRRC is hand-built and tested over 500 miles before delivery.
The TRRC represents a unique blend of classic off-road capability with modern performance. It’s a statement piece for buyers who demand exclusivity and don’t mind paying a premium for it.
This restomod isn’t merely a modification; it’s a reimagining of an automotive icon. The TRRC demonstrates that blending heritage with modern engineering can create a vehicle that appeals to both enthusiasts and collectors.
