UPDATE: I’ve gotten a few questions as to where these latest images came from – the international version of the Land Rover site is live with the Autobiography Black Limited Edition, as a full model selection on the Range Rover page.

2010 Range Rover – Autobiography Black – 40th Anniversary Limited Edition

It’s bit much for me as a whole, but there are some nice styling cues, gills are my favorite – there will only be 700 made – no pricing or availability info yet.

Autobiography Black: A very special 40^th anniversary limited edition

“The Autobiography Black represents the very best Range Rover has to offer and is a fitting tribute to a vehicle which has consistently set the highest standards for all-terrain performance, luxury and design for the last 40 years.”

Phil Popham, Land Rover Managing Director

The ultimate incarnation of the Range Rover, the Autobiography Black 40^th Anniversary Limited Edition, is quite simply the last word in bespoke vehicles. With a unique finish in Barolo Black, the exterior also features 20-inch alloy wheels, Diamond Turned, a unique front grille with Titan grille mesh, a bright chrome grille ‘U’ edge and black grille surround. Side vents have a new mesh set off by bright chrome bars and a black vent surround. There are body coloured door handles and of course, the tailgate badge, ‘Autobiography Black’.

Inside, there’s a choice of the standard colourway in Jet, or two colourways unique to the Autobiography Black – Jet and Ivory, or Jet and Pimento. The Autobiography Black logo is discretely repeated throughout the interior where it is embossed on the rear seat armrest and appears on the four unique, Grand Black door veneers. Front door sill tread plates are illuminated with the words ‘Range Rover’ and there’s a half wood Grand Black steering wheel. Petrol models also offer gearknob veneers.

“At the top of the Range, the new Autobiography Black 40^th Anniversary Limited Edition offers customers the option of complete exclusivity with unique colourway combinations as well as striking interior and exterior design features. Around 700 will be made, emphasising the exclusivity of this limited edition.”

Design Director, Gerry McGovern

No detail has been overlooked in ensuring this is the most special Range Rover in the marque’s 40 year history. Even the key fob and driver’s handbook carry the Autobiography Black logo.

Range Rover Autobiography – US Options

To close out the Range Rover Autobiography posts – here are some of the listed options for the US-spec – there aren’t many.

We do see the:

Seat Pack ‘Style 3’ – which is the full rear sear treatment, heated & cooled, reclining and the upgraded headrests for $2500.

Climate Pack – Automatic four zone air conditioning, climate controlled windscreen and front side glass for $1000

An option I couldn’t care less about: Half wood Leather steering wheel & Gearknob Pack for $1000.

Surround Camera System (includes Tow Assist) for $800 – this one really should be standard on the Autobiography

Audio System – LOGIC7® Hi-Fi (1,200 Watt 19 speakers surround sound harmon/kardon® system) – they list no price on this one, but I don’t believe it was standard on the Autobiography – probably just a mistake on the website – they don’t always proof it so well.

And finally – Audio System – Digital radio (HD) for $350.
