Land Rover’s Holland & Holland edition Range Rover is ready for upscale hunting

If you’re going to drive your luxurious Range Rover into the woods, why not equip it with some equally high-end guns to shoot things with when you get there?

Land Rover itself  liked that idea, so it teamed up with British gun maker Holland & Holland to offer a special-edition Range Rover full of the bespoke touches one normally associates with handcrafted firearms.

A Holland & Holland Range Rover made a splash on Top Gear a few seasons back, impressing the show’s irascible hosts with its built-in liquor cabinet. That car was built by tuner Overfinch, though, while this one is a factory job from Land Rover’s newly minted Special Vehicle Operations (SVO).

Based on the already-posh Range Rover Autobiography Black model, the Holland & Holland edition features a  gun cabinet lined in espresso-colored Alcantara that rests on a specially-designed moveable floor made from aluminum and carbon fiber, and finished in wood veneer and leather.

The Holland & Holland treatment can be added to either a standard-wheelbase or long-wheelbase Range Rover, the latter with available individual reclining rear seats. The interior is redone with electrically-deployed walnut tables, USB charging ports, and additional storage cubbies (for ammo?).

Details like wood veneer trim that matches the stocks of Holland & Holland guns, embroidery, and engraved door handles class things up even more.

In contrast to the lavish interior, the only real exterior change is a unique green paint color and matching grille that makes the Holland & Holland Range Rover look like it just drove out of the green-tinted world of the The Matrix.

Two V8 engines will be offered: a 510-horsepower supercharged gasoline mill and a 4.4-liter turbodiesel with 339 hp.

It appears Land Rover will only offer the Holland & Holland Range Rover in the U.K., at a staggering price of 180,000 pounds (about $285,000 at current exchange rates). Only 120 examples will be built.

BlackBerry will provide cybersecurity for future Jaguar Land Rover vehicles
jaguar land rover and blackberry expand tech partnership

In 2018, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and BlackBerry announced a partnership that would see BlackBerry tech used in future JLR vehicles. The original scope of the partnership included a next-generation infotainment system, but now the two companies have expanded it to include other new tech.

A BlackBerry press release said the company would provide JLR with artificial intelligence (A.I.) and machine-learning tech for future vehicles. BlackBerry was light on details about how this tech would be used, only noting that "predictive software maintenance" and "cybersecurity threat protection" were among the possible applications.

Jaguar Land Rover is developing this amazing 3D head-up display
jaguar land rover developing immersive 3d head up display

Head-up displays have become a common feature in cars, usually showing basic information like speed or navigation directions. But Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) sees more potential in the technology. The British automaker is developing an elaborate 3D head-up display that can show drivers important safety information, or let passengers watch a movie. It's unclear if the display will go into production, though.

An elaborate in-car display might sound distracting, but JLR claims it could actually improve safety. The 3D head-up display could be used to show hazards up ahead, and help counteract the effects of poor visibility, according to the automaker. Navigation directions and other messages could also be projected onto the road ahead, according to JLR, placing them where the driver should already be looking. Studies conducted in Germany have shown that stereoscopic 3D displays can help improve driver reaction times, JLR claims.
