the land rover special vehicle operations (SVO) designed ‘holland & holland range rover’ edition combines the craftsmanship of two luxury outdoor pursuit-associated british marques. based on the autobiography black car, the new model unites unrivaled off-road capability with a raft of specifically created features for the sporting gun manufacturer’s customers. 40 units of the automobile will be built annually, over a three-year period and demonstrates the SVO division’s growing and ambitious portfolio of both high-end leisure commissions and performance vehicles.

john edwards, managing director of jaguar land rover special operations, said, ‘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. 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 in a choice of two powertrains: the diesel-powered 4.4 liter SDV8 that delivers 339PS or the 510PS petrol 5.0 liter VS supercharged. it is instantly recognizable from other range rovers thanks to the gun manufacturer’s unique green color that covers the bodywork, mirrors, bonnet vent and grille. the interior makes the edition even more distinguishable with its soft tan and espresso leather hide, upholstered executive class seating package and trimmed transmission tunnel sides. the company’s badge is stitched into the front seats and is also present on the tailgate and the doors’ lower accents.

the car’s inside is tailored to accommodate the lifestyle pursuits of holland & holland’s customers and the leather-trimmed aluminum load-space cabinet feature among many others, shows this. located in the boot, the espresso alcantara holder fits precisely to safely transport the owner’s pair of guns and sits on a deployable load-space floor. engineered from aluminum and carbon fiber, the components are machined and cut to produce a platform that slides out to ensure that the cabinet is easily accessible. with electrically released tables in sustainably-sourced walnut veneer, integrated USB charging sockets and the enhanced stowage also helps create an interior suitable for the driver.
