RANGE ROVER GOES ULTIMATE

April11NewsUltimateRange Rover has revealed a hand-finished exclusive Autobiography Ultimate Edition.

The flagship model’s hand-crafted luxury interior uses specially selected soft-feel natural leathers, and two, stand-alone electric rear seats, plus a rear console extension, including a machined aluminium laptop table and drinks chiller plus two iPads. Wow!

This luxury theme extends to the rear loadspace, with a super yacht-inspired teak floor with metal and leather detailing, and there’s high-end, semi-aniline leather seating and Oxford leather on the door casings, dashboard top and steering wheel. Kalahari wood veneers are used on the facia and door top rolls and you can have it in dark cherry or Arabica.

There are two exterior colours, Roussillon Red or Otago Stone, and new 20in multi-spoke, diamond-turned alloys, plus unique tailgate badging. Customers also have the option of adding the Exterior Design Pack and deployable sidesteps.

The all-V8 engine line-up includes the new 4.4-litre LR-TDV8 diesel with a new eight-speed transmission incorporating Drive Select with Paddle Shift as standard. The combined cycle is 30.1mpg, making this the first Range Rover ever to better 30mpg. The LR-V8 5.0 Supercharged engine is also available.  

Each vehicle will be built to customer order only, and 500 units will be produced. Pricing will be announced by individual markets later this year.
