Land Rover is calling it their most luxurious SUV ever. This new Holland & Holland Range Rover combines the craftsmanship of the British marque with gun maker Holland & Holland and is also the most expensive Range Rover ever at GBP 180,000 (US $286,000).
Based on the Range Rover Autobiography Black, the new model has been designed by Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations (SVO), which will assemble just 40 units per year over the next three years.
“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,” said John Edwards, managing director of Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations. “This shows the huge potential of SVO, which encapsulates both off- and on-road performance as well as luxury and craftsmanship.”
The Holland & Holland Range Rover is available as a 4.4-litre SDV8, which delivers 339PS, or the 510PS petrol-powered 5.0-litre V8 Supercharged.
The carmaker claims it is instantly discernable from a distance, owing to the Holland & Holland Green of the full bodywork, mirrors and bonnet vent. The grille is also painted in the same deep green. Holland & Holland branding is also noticeable on the lower accent door badges, as well as on the tailgate.
The Executive Class seating package in the long wheelbase car makes the most of the additional 186mm (7.3 inches) of legroom and 17 degrees recline available to the rear seat passengers. Two individual fully adjustable seats are complemented by an extended and re-designed centre console with electrically deployable walnut tables, integrated USB charging sockets, enhanced stowage and bespoke lighting.
What sets the new Holland & Holland Range Rover apart, though, is located in the boot. A leather-trimmed aluminium loadspace cabinet – debossed with the Holland & Holland logo – has been designed especially for this car. Its espresso Alcantara-trimmed interior can be precisely fitted to safely transport the owner of the car’s pair of Holland & Hollands - although it is also removable when maximum luggage capacity is required.
“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,” said Daryl Greatrex, managing director of Holland & Holland.
