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.
Here are some shots of the new Autobiography model comign to the Range Rover Sport family. I do like a lot of the little touches on this one – the Autobiogrpahy Sport text on the door wood trim & headrest, the Pimento leather on the gear shift but it doesn’t look like the leather headliner made to the Sport. I even like the body kit.
Here’s the official text:
New Autobiography Sport versions join Range Rover Sport line-up for 2010
The stylish Range Rover Sport for 2010 offers enhanced vehicle dynamics and
significantly improved performance thanks to two new powerful, refined and efficient
engines: the formidable Supercharged LR-V8 5.0 litre and the LR-TDV6 3.0-litre
Advanced Sequential Turbo Diesel. Along with striking exterior design changes and
an all new interior, Range Rover Sport maintains its class-leading credentials.
Now, an unprecedented level of personalisation for Range Rover Sport is available
too, with a stunning selection of six Autobiography Sport limited edition themes
featuring stylish duo-tone premium leather interiors as well as unique exterior design
cues including the grille, vents and 20" diamond turned finish alloy wheels, all
presented for the first time at the IAA.
Three of the themes – called Cannes, Portofino and Valencia – have a more luxuryorientated
character, while the other three – named Le Mans, Monaco and Monza –
have an overtly sporting theme and feature a dramatic new body kit which is tailored
to accentuate the sophisticated style of the 2010 Range Rover Sport. The striking
body kit is also available as a separate option.
I know I’ve posted about this before but again due to the confused nature of the Land Rover information I’m not completely sure about this one.
This audio system showed up on both the LRUK website and the LRNA Build Your Vehicle page as an option for the 2010. Then at the 2009 Frankfurt show they decided to officially announce it. When they did announce it, it was grouped in with new Autobiography specific information. And the pictures they did release had Autobiography in the filename and on the 2010 media site; they were under the new Autobiography section. And it is clear that picture is from an Autobiography model – you can see the stitched leather seams in the upper right and it even seems the terrible hard plastic, usually around the 2007+ door handle, has a leather texture.
As per the LRNA site, it’s an option available on the HSE, so the question is, can any model Range Rover get the audio upgrade or is it Autobiography only?
Well a lot of the information coming officially from Land Rover can be confusing or contradicting; I’m going to just go with the latest pics. As per the official Land Rover 2010 Media site, these are the Autobiography colors available. They have added an Autobiography section to the 2010 media site however they still have very Autobiography specific shots mixed into the general interior pictures – but as I said their info can be confusing, not sure if it’s too many people working on this with little communication or one person who just doesn’t keep up with it?
Anyway – here are some Autobiography interiors, not sure what exactly that means, if they are the only choices now or just samples of what we’ll see – again confusing – more to come…
And just to clarify, beyond the color schemes shown the Autobiography interior is identified by the full leather headliner.
