The 2012 Range Rover Autobiography Ultimate Edition was a special edition produced at the end of the L322's
production run, with only 500 built worldwide of which 50 or less were for the U.S. market. I'm the second owner
of this Autobiography Ultimate, finished in Roussillon Red over Ivory and Dark Cherry semi-aniline leather
interior. It was originally registered in Kansas, and was then brought to California where I purchased it. My
Range Rover currently has under 29,900 miles (which may go up as I still use it occasionally), and drives just as
well as it did when new (granted, I didn't buy this one new, but this is my 5th of this generation and I've owned
every other one from new). This was a truly special Rover, with an original MSRP of $170,000!
Options and features include Autobiography Package: exterior design package, Rover Towing Prep, semi-aniline
leather seats, leather center console sides, lower dashboard, cubby lid, headliner and door panels, 1/2 wood and
leather steering wheel and gear knob, reclining heated and ventilated rear seats with winged headrests and front
seat control, LOGIC 7 1200-watt surround sound system, 4-zone climate control and glass, adaptive cruise control,
Ultimate Edition Package (dual, removable integrated rear seat iPad devices and headphones, individual business
seating for rear passengers with multi-position stowable business table, center console beverage chiller, glass
flutes with deployable holder, Oxford leather dash topper, seat side valances, front and rear console side trim,
door stowage pockets and loadspace trim, exclusive Kalahari wood trim detail on door, door top rolls, and front and
rear console and business tables, polished aluminum door switch surrounds unique Teak wood loadspace floor with
anti-slip inlay and polished stainless steel hardware, unique Ultimate Edition badge, unique 20" multi-spoke
diamond-turned alloy wheels, premium metal side vent finish, polished stainless steel lower tailgate finisher, body
color grille surround, illuminated treadplates, power deployable side steps, and more). This also has the
electronic rear locker. In addition, this vehicle is covered under remaining factory warranty until June of 2016
(I believe) or 50,000 miles, and can be extended with the dealer (probably ~$4k for a Land Rover factory warranty
that goes out another 4 years / 75k or 100k miles).
The exterior is in great condition, with very minor wear commensurate with the low miles. There is a small chip on
the windshield which happened in the last couple of months; however, the windshield was replaced late last year.
The leather is in great condition; there is however a small scuff on the steering wheel leather near the 11 o'clock
position. The rear loadspace shows some use (scuffs on the wood that can be cleaned up, a few marks on the leather
near the floor). Of course, the iPads and champagne flutes come with the vehicle.
I have added the factory crossbars (without the full rail system) and a Land Rover OEM ski rack, and also replaced
the tires with 265/50R20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2s (which are phenomenal in the snow. These tires have ~2000 miles
on them).

Buy a Jaguar E-Type continuation, get a matching wristwatch
Tue, Feb 28 2017From time to time, automakers release special branded watches. Jaguar and Land Rover are no different. The latest from Land Rover isn't particularly remarkable, but one new Jaguar piece is pretty special. Jaguar partnered with British watchmaker Bremont for a line of watches, the most impressive being a 43mm watch that commemorates Jaguar's continuation series of Lightweight E-Types. Like the cars, only six of the watches will be produced, and they will be offered to the owners of those $1.5 million cars. Each watch features a serial number that matches a corresponding car, and the faces have been designed to look like the instruments aboard the E-Types. The same goes for the hands, which look like the gauge needles. The winding crown also has a tire tread pattern that wraps around the sides, with Jaguar's heritage logo on the top. And these timepieces are built with aluminum left over from the continuation E-Types. On the back is the most impressive part, though. Here is where the watch's automatic winding weight is visible. It's shaped like a vintage steering wheel, and the outer rim is made from real wood. The weight keeps the watch and its exclusive Bremont movement wound. If you can't afford this ultra-limited watch, Bremont has a line of other Jaguar watches with many of the same design cues, at prices ranging from less than $5,000 to more than $11,000. The Land Rover watch is a bit disappointing, since it bears little apparent connection to the vehicles. Zenith, the Swiss company that partnered with Land Rover for the piece, claims the design is inspired by the Range Rover. And Land Rover claims a connection in that a British explorer wore the same series watch while completing an expedition with a pair of Range Rovers. There's also the fact that the watch and the SUV are both made of aluminum, but otherwise, the Zenith watch doesn't look particularly automotive. The box sounds pretty cool, though, since it's fashioned from Land Rover wood and upholstery. Related Video:
Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017
Tue, Feb 17 2015Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
SVR plans to tune electrified Jaguar-Land Rover models, but not the I-Pace
Sun, May 24 2020Jaguar-Land Rover's SVR division has only put its name on high-horsepower gasoline-burning cars, like the XE Project 8 built in strictly limited numbers. It's open to the idea of tuning electrified models, whether they're electric or hybrid, but it confirmed it's not currently planning on making a spicier evolution of the I-Pace. "We will be developing electrified versions of our cars, be that fully electrified or plug-in hybrids," affirmed Michael van der Sande, the division's managing director, in an interview with Auto Express. But although the electric I-Pace (pictured) raced in a one-make race series held on the sidelines of Formula E events for two seasons, and SVR could credibly claim to inject track DNA into a street car, it stressed the I-Pace doesn't appear in its product plans for reasons that remain a little bit murky. Jaguar announced the end of the eTrophy series in May 2020, which might explain why it's reluctant to exploit racing's marketing power. "There are other various things we are working on which we can't talk about, but we're very interested in electrification. That's why we got involved in eTrophy," van der Sande clarified. "The technology transfer, the learning applies to that car and other cars but we're not planning an SVR I-Pace at the moment." His comments confirm we'll need to be patient to see what SVR's take on an electric or hybrid car looks like. One of the first electrified models to receive the go-fast treatment might be the next-generation XJ tentatively scheduled to make its debut before the end of 2020. It will be exclusively electric, though it won't look as radical as the I-Pace, so Jaguar will need to find a way to replace the hot-rodded XJR 575 model it positioned at the top of the last-generation model's line-up. It's not too far-fetched to speculate the next Range Rover also due out in the coming months will receive some degree of electrification, and it could spawn an SVR-tuned model, too. Related Video:
