Here are the full color choice for the US-spec Range Rover Autobiography. The “Designer’s choice” combination was made with Santorini Black. And it appears that most duo tone options don’t cost extra.
Just browsed over to the Land Rover US site and it now has a lot more in common with the UK site. The actual layout with expanding boxes is just like the UK site. I wasn’t all that crazy about it there, but I guess we don’t have a choice anymore. The whole site seems a bit flat. The Build & Price section now actually lists the Range Rover Autobiography. I hope I don’t bore anyone, but these next few posts will be dedicated to the new Autobiography specific info we have for US models. They have finally official acknowledged the Duo-Tone interiors with pricing along with a lot of exterior color choices.
So the colors above are the standard no charge selections – below is where it starts to get interesting. Now you can really make it an Autobiography.
Great video showing the Range Rover Sport Supercharged – while being a great overall video, he does go into real detail on the iPod functionality – first time I’ve seen that on video – check it out:
Here’s a video from the LR UK site, it really puts the IP through it’s paces:

All the official shots from Overfinch of their new special edition are up on the ROVERHAUL galleries – some parts are great, but I’d prefer it to have some actual Range Rover badging and I’ll actually say it – less wood trim on the front center console – the rear center console it great!
On the exterior, the exhaust tips & trim have a great look, everything else seems like more subtle tweaks and again I wish they’d stick a “Range Rover” somewhere on there.
Production will be limited to 100 units annually with prices starting from around £120,000 – which includes the wood trim matching shotgun & they’ll replenish the alcohol for a year.
