Uber-luxury 2016 Range Rover SVAutobiography revealed

If the two-tone exterior paint job of this Range Rover reminds you of a Rolls-Royce then don’t be surprised; In fact, this ultra-luxurious Range Rover has been created to cater to the needs of the most discerning customers. Meet the 2016 Range Rover SVAutobiography, the most luxurious version of the Land Rover Range Rover that is slated to make its debut at the 2015 New York Auto Show. Wearing the tag of the most expensive Range Rover model ever, the Range Rover SVAutobiography replaces and builds upon the short-lived Autobiography Black model. While the Black model had a starting price of $185,000, the SVAutobiography is a few dollars short of the $200,000 mark.

2016-range-rover-svautobiography-2We have seen the ‘Autobiography’ moniker applied to the range topping, uber-luxurious models and the ‘SV’ added to the name is derived from Jaguar Land Rover’s SVO “Special Vehicle Operations” division. Available both in standard and long-wheelbase specifications, the Range Rover SVAutobiography is powered by a retuned 5.0-liter supercharged V-8 engine that makes 550 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque, up from 510 hp in the regular Range Rover Supercharged. The V8 is mated with ZF’s critically acclaimed eight-speed auto and Land Rover’s second-generation Terrain Response system. The long-wheelbase SV also comes with a new exhaust system with “a subtly enriched engine note,” Brembo front brake calipers, and a new front grille featuring a “Graphite Atlas” (gray) finish and polished chrome garnishes.
