Land Rover will be showcasing its new flagship Ranger Rover SVAutobiography at the 2015 New York Auto Show this week. The model is regarded as the most luxurious and most powerful Rangie yet in the model’s 45-year history.

Range Rover SVAutobiography brings the Power

The Range Rover SVAutobiography is fitted with a powerful 5.0-litre supercharged V8 that delivers a whopping 404 kW and 680 Nm of torque. A ZF eight-speed automatic transmission puts those number to good use on the tar, resulting in a 0-100kph sprint in about 5.5 seconds and reaching a top speed of 225kph. The same engine is used in the Range Rover SVR, but has has been re-tuned to do service in the SVAutobiography.

Exclusive Features and Luxury

The Range Rover SVAutobiography is available in either long or short wheelbase formats. A unique Duo-tone body colour can be had in combination with Santorini Black for the upper body and a choice of nine colours for the lower body.

New Range Rover lettering is found on the bonnet and tailgate with SVAutobiography badging, distinguishing it form other models in the range and the front grille is finished in Graphite Atlas and chrome. Quad tailpipes offer a clue to the power hiding beneath the bonnet.

On the inside, aluminium switchgear offers quality feel as do the new armrests. A chiller compartment is found in the rear along with powered tables. Aluminium is used for the coat hooks and seat rails while mohair carpets add to the luxurious feel.

A sliding loadspace floor can be had as an option and is made from, you guessed it, aluminium. Two seats in Winsor Leather can also be deployed on the tailgate while you look at elephants in the bush or at a picnic. This seating is called ‘Event Seating’.

The Range Rover SVAutobiography was conceived at the Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) Technical Centre in the UK. Further details will be revealed when the car makes its debut at the New York Auto Show this week.
