Holland & Holland Range Rover is a Steampunk Masterpiece

When it comes to driving around or being driven around in style, a Rolls-Royce is as good as motoring gets. But if you also need to climb every mountain and ford every stream, you can’t go better than doing that with the extremly plush Range Rover luxobarge.

It may not be as luxurious as daddy cool Rolls-Royce Phantom, but a Roller can’t do off-road except if you’re with the team behind the taxtherich project. Still, not even taxtherich’s Rolls-Royce Phantom can do more than slide around a lawn of neatly trimmed grass. That is basically why the off-road ready Range Rover is king when the going gets rough and bumpy.

But do you know how you can make the Range Rover even better? Well, bring in the know-how of the Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations. Dubbed the Holland & Holland Range Rover, what you can admire in the gallery below is “the most expensive Range Rover ever” and it's laden with features that complement the most demanding customers.

Based on the LWB Autobiography Black, this Range Rover benefits from bespoke Holland & Holland detailing, leathers, as well as French walnut veneer polished to resemble oil-finished gunstocks. Oh, and there’s a gun cabinet in the boot too. It’s a super cool machine this, mainly due to the fact it’s both modern and steampunk thanks to all that wood trim contrasting with engraved metal bits and bobs.

Only 120 will ever be built at a rate of 40 examples per year, with pricing starting at a hardly believable £180,000 (which is $287,000 or €230,000 at current exchange rates). It’s curious why you can opt for a V6 turbo diesel 'cos we bet that most customers of the H&H will go straight for the full-on supercharged V8.
