LUMMA Design, from the Swabian town of Winterlingen, claims the accolade of first tuner to launch an extensive customisation programme for the new Range Rover Sport.

The complete LUMMA Design CLR RS styling conversion, with alloy wheels in 22 or 23-inch diameters, is available right now. Power upgrades for petrol and diesel models, and special interior trim parts will be announced shortly.

An exclusive wide body conversion, the LUMMA CLR RS aero kit gives the Range Rover Sport a more aggressive look, its RS suffix indicating the ultimate in sportiness. The striking front bumper design with its large under bumper air intakes emphasises the new ‘face’ and strong character of this most recent addition to the Range Rover family. The air splitter at the lowest point of the new front spoiler improves stability at speed.

An unmistakable feature that makes it clear a LUMMA CLR RS is coming is the stacked twin-row of daytime running lights integrated into the smaller air intakes flanking the huge central one. The four bars holding the rows of LED bulbs are optionally available in either chrome or dark finish. 

The new sporty front grille is optionally available in visible or painted carbon fibre. Above this grille, the carbon-fibre bonnet removes weight from the nose, further improving agility, and its air vents aid engine cooling. The door panels and wider sills visually harmonise with the beefy wheel arch extensions, giving the impression the car was designed this way. At the rear, LUMMA Design has toughened up the business end of the Range Rover Sport with a diffuser set into the new rear apron. 

The diffuser moulding contains the cut-outs for the four 100mm diameter polished outlets of the sport exhaust system, each of which is embossed with the LUMMA logo.

The final aerodynamic components are the roof spoiler and the small spoiler lip at the base of the rear window. These add to the cars eye appeal as well as reducing aerodynamic drag. 

Apart from a handful of pieces made from carbon-fibre, the major components of the LUMMA Design CLR RS body kit are moulded from OE quality PU-RIM for a perfect finish and easy installation. 

LUMMA Design has two signature alloy wheel designs for the Range Rover Sport. Either of these elegant 22 and 23-inch diameter wheels fills out the big arch extensions, giving the car its more purposeful look. The first is the CLR 22. Finished in black with a red stripe around the circumference, this 12.0J x 22-inch wheel comes with 305/35ZR22 tyres. If you really want to push the boat out, the 11.0J x 23-inch CLR 23 wheels in polished anthracite finish, and shod with 305/30ZR23 tyres, guarantee admiring glances.

LUMMA Design has a performance upgrade programme underway for both petrol and diesel engines, and this will be announced shortly. Augmented interior fittings, including an alloy pedal set, sports steering wheel, carbon-fibre inserts and bespoke high quality leather trim, will also be available soon.
