Twisted Reworks the Two-Door Range Rover Classic by Twisted Gets Power Package with 500 HP and £350,000 Entry Price

Twisted Automotive has moved beyond its familiar Defender territory and turned its attention to another British icon: the two-door Range Rover Classic. The project carries the name TRRC and becomes the company’s first full interpretation of the early Range Rover formula, though not in any modest sense.

The mechanical transformation sits at the center of the build. This means that the stock engine has been replaced by a 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated LT1 V8 pot from General Motors. This one develops 500 horsepower being sent to the wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The whole power output transforms this vintage SUV into a genuine off-roader with revised suspension that has new bushings, which improve control while avoiding an overly firm ride.

The body stays immediately recognizable, which seems deliberate. Twisted kept the classic proportions intact, then introduced subtle but visible updates: a front bumper extension, a fresh wheel design, revised grille treatment, and updated headlight surrounds. The surfaces may appear original at first glance, yet every exterior panel is newly produced from bespoke hammer-formed aluminum.

That process goes deeper than a cosmetic rebuild. Each car is stripped off before being blasted and cleaned, and then finished in a satin black protective e-coat.

Inside, the cabin receives modern touches without abandoning the old-school layout. Additional soundproofing has been installed, together with premium-grade extended carpeting and fresh leather across the interior. The heated front seats are included in that retrim, and they now sit noticeably lower than in a standard Range Rover Classic.

A single-din infotainment unit has also been fitted, supported by aftermarket speakers. It is a restrained update, perhaps unexpectedly restrained given the rest of the work, but enough to shift daily usability closer to modern expectations.

Production remains extremely limited. Twisted plans just 12 examples per year worldwide, available in both left- and right-hand drive. Before delivery, every vehicle completes 500 miles of testing.

Price follows the exclusivity. Entry begins at £350,000 ($466,000), and even that does not guarantee immediate delivery: all 2026 production slots are already taken.

It is not difficult to understand why the figure climbs so high once the details are laid out. Still, for a vehicle that began life decades ago, that number lands hard.
