Land Rover revealed a new special edition version of its top-line Range Rover Friday morning, and you'll probably never actually see one on the road.

The Range Rover SV Carmel Edition is a $345,000 version of the newest Range Rover, which was first revealed in October 2021. Land Rover pulled the covers off the new truck at its "Range Rover House" setup in Carmel, California during Monterey Car Week. Which is fitting, as this particular special edition is a tribute to the bit of Pacific coastline the house overlooks. Beyond just putting it in the name, Land Rover says it will donate some proceeds from sales to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.

Range Rovers don't get more opulent than this. The Carmel Edition has the SV's four-seat cabin setup, done up with blue leather and trimmed with white ceramic controls and surfaces. Yes, ceramic. In a Range Rover. It's absurd. On top of that, there's a massive console that runs through the seating area, packing small fold-out workstations, a refrigerator, and crystal glasses.

The exterior is also first-class. It's painted satin bronze, a Carmel Edition exclusive, and rolls on 23-inch wheels that are covered in glossy dark grey paint with bronze inserts. Two sets of golf clubs also come in the trunk of every Carmel Edition. The truck is powered by the same 523-hp twin-turbo V-8 from the normal Range Rover SV.

If you want one, well, good luck. Land Rover is building just 17 of these trucks, which apparently makes it the most exclusive Range Rover ever. To buy one, you have to swing by the house in Carmel, which is a limited-time, invite-only facility for current Range Rover owners.
