Range Rover have upped the anti in the luxury stakes, releasing a new and much more luxurious version of their classic 4WD. The Range Rover Autobiography Ultimate Edition is the must have SUV for 2011. Only 500 units will be issued worldwide, and will be launched at the 81st International Motor Show in Geneva next month.

In the Autobiography Ultimate Edition, Range Rover has added rear seats are separated with a console conveniently storing an integrated drinks cooler (for Champagne of course!) and aluminum tray tables.

The inside flatters its existing luxurious self, where leather, hand stitching and grain finishes are somewhat of the norm. For the tech geeks, there are iPads mounted to the front seatbacks to entertain those in the rear – perfect for checking stocks, online shopping or signing in on asmallworld. The cargo bay has been trimmed with a polished teak deck to compliment your super yacht.

Outside is a dark grille, door handles color keyed to the body (which is available with two exclusive new paint options) and custom 20 inch alloys. Buyers can select the Range Rover Ultimate Edition in a choice of either diesel or petrol. Your choice of a 4.4 litre LR-TDV8 or 5.0 litre LR-V8 supercharged beast. These engines offer 230kW/700Nm and 375kW/625Nm. Perfect for airport runs, a trip to see Mr Louboutin or everyday commuting in style.
