Auto Car | Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography Black 2010 | The first Range Rover launched way back in 1970 in Europe, though it didn’t make its official stateside debut until 1987, and so Land Rover is celebrating the brand’s 40th anniversary with a limited-edition vehicle based on the 2011 Range Rover Supercharged. The Autobiography Black model is an evolution of the current Autobiography package that is, according to its makers, “the most luxurious, most exclusive Range Rover model ever built.”The Range is finished in Barolo Black paint and features a new chrome grille with black surround, mesh fender vents with chrome bars, body-color door handles, and a subtle Autobiography Black liftgate badge. The car rides on 10-spoke diamond-turned wheels measuring 20 inches in diameter.



The interior is finished in black with either red or ivory accents. Regardless of the choice, black dominates everything: reflective black lacquer coats the doors, instrument panel, and center console, joined by black leather on the shift knob and steering wheel. An Autobiography Black logo is embossed on the rear-seat armrest, door panels, key fob, illuminated door sill plates, and the cover of the owner’s manual.



As for tech toys, the Autobiography Black edition brings adaptive headlights; a blind-spot warning system; a 1200-watt, 19-speaker Harman/Kardon sound system; and reclining, heated and cooled rear seats.The Range Rover is mechanically unchanged from stock, which means power comes from a 510-hp, supercharged 5.0-liter V-8, which we’ve launched to 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds.



For the 2011 model year, all Range Rovers benefit from two additions to the Terrain Response four-wheel-drive system. Hill Start Assist prevents the SUV from rolling backward when starting on steep slopes, while Gradient Acceleration Control applies the brakes if the Range begins to pick up speed on steep declines.The Autobiography Black edition is on sale now and its exclusivity of less than 200 units destined for the U.S. comes at a price, of course. A Range Rover Supercharged with the normal Autobiography package rings in at $116,950, but the Black edition stickers for $122,950.
