Land Rover's most expensive vehicle ever: £180K off-roader... with its own gun cabinet
The top end Range Rover has been built with the help of Holland & Holland, the iconic British gunmaker
Land Rover has unveiled its priciest ever vehicle - a limited edition, £180,000 off-roader which comes with its own gun cabinet.
The top end Range Rover has been built with the help of Holland & Holland, the iconic British gunmaker.
It has been given a number of discrete exterior modifications, with the focus going on the luxury off-roader's interior.
Craftsmen have upholstered the interior with the softest tan and espresso leather hides, while the car's woodwork comes from sustainably sourced French walnut.
The rear of the car looks more like a private jet than a farm vehicle and features super-suave seats which recline 17 degrees, walnut tables, bespoke lighting, plenty of legroom and an entertainment system.
In the boot is a leather-trimmed aluminium loadspace cabinet, which has been designed especially for the car and can carry a pair of Holland and & Holland shotguns.
The floor components are machined and cut to produce a unique platform which slides out, ensuring the cabinet is easily accessible and doubling up as a picnic table.
The Holland & Holland Range Rover was announced this week, describing the off-roader as 'the most luxurious, and most expensive, Range Rover ever'.
It’s enormous price tag is the same as a Ferrari 458 supercar.
This is £110,000 more than a standard Range Rover and £70,000 more than the extended wheelbase Autobiography model it is based on.
Just 40 will be built per year and it will be available with either a 4.4-litre diesel engine or 5-litre, supercharged petrol.
The 500bhp petrol engine will give the Range Rover a 0-62mph time of just 5.1 seconds and a top speed of 155mph.
John Edwards, managing director of Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations, said: 'The whole SVO team is very proud of this car, a bespoke design, which perfectly meets the very particular needs of Holland & Holland's customers.
'This shows the huge potential of SVO, which encapsulates both off- and on-road performance as well as luxury and craftsmanship.'
Daryl Greatrex, managing director of Holland & Holland, added: 'This project represents two great British brands working together to produce a car that perfectly represents our shared brand values.
'Stunning form and perfect functionality unite in a car that is supremely fit for purpose.'
