Mitsubishi Motors in the UK is launching its new Special Vehicle Projects programme today at the CV Show at Birmingham’s NEC.

The first model in the programme is the L200 Barbarian SVP, debuted at the show. 

Designed to provide Mitsubishi customers with exclusive, distinctive vehicles, Mitsubishi SVP models will be produced in small volumes with significant appearance changes and specific colour options. 

Inspired by the one-off Mitsubishi L200 Desert Warrior ‘Pre-runner’, the L200 Barbarian SVP (pictured) will be limited to a production run of 250 with half available in electric blue metallic and the other half in cosmos black. 

Distinctive features include the additions of 17-inch bespoke black alloy wheels with BF Goodrich all-terrain tyres, with new wheel arch extensions, a new grille and an exclusive black finish on the headlamp and tail lamp bezels, fog lamp surrounds, roof rails and rear bumper, shark fin-inspired side steps, load bed illumination, puddle lamps, soft-opening tailgate damper and an SVP emblem on the tailgate. 

Inside, the limited-edition model has Barbarian-inspired ‘six-pack’ leather seats with suede-like ‘Alston’ inserts. Each vehicle’s individual limited edition number and the SVP logo are also stitched into the headrests.

Standard features of the Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian SVP also include rain and dusk sensors, keyless entry, satellite navigation, Bluetooth, bi-xenon headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights, cruise control and reversing camera. 

Power is provided by a 2.4-litre turbodiesel engine.

The Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian SVP is available to order now and is priced from £28,479 (excluding VAT) for both blue and black versions.
