Range Rover Sport 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography
The Range Rover Sport is one of the most iconic cars ever produced. With a laser-sharp focus on delivering utility and luxury for the Range Rover driver, this model is a beautiful example of the efficiency of luxury supercars. From the moment you release the clutch, your self drive car journey in this Range Rover will be an unforgettable hybrid of excellence, speed and finesse.
The performance abilities of the Range Rover
The Range Rover engine is more than just a means to an end for drivers, it is the beating heart of what makes this Range Rover Autobiography perform to the high standard drivers experience during self drive hire. If you choose Range Rover car hire in London as your way of engrossing yourself in your passion for supercars, you will be astonished by the acceleration speed of 0 – 60 mph in only 5.9 seconds. A maximum speed of 140 mph tops off the powerful ability of the 5 litre engine, whose spray-guided direct injection feature is another reason to account for the stellar technical performance of the Range Rover Autobiography.
The super V8 5 litre Supercharged petrol engine improves fuel economy and is a growing factor for car hire enthusiasts when selecting their vehicle of choice. As changing attitudes to the environment continue to grow, most drivers who love supercars are fans of keeping the environment healthy and safe for future generations of motorists. This is why Range Rover engineers have crafted a heavy-duty engine that has improved fuel economy. The numbers prove how impressive fuel emission reductions are: this Range Rover only has a fuel consumption rate of 14.9L per 100 km.
Feel the sense of ultimate control with the hill descent feature with gradient release control to help you go down steep hills as you drive. High performance brakes are also included in this Range Rover for a seamless way to control journeys. The multitude of choice in the Range Rover, which also includes the Dynamic Stability Control, illuminates the key reason why the Supercharged Autobiography is so popular with our self hire drive clients: it offers efficiency in an opulent setting.
The design and look of the Range Rover Supercharged Autobiography
This Range Rover supercar includes all the exterior hallmarks you would expect from a luxury SUV. Xenon Adaptive Front Lighting covers the front of the Range Rover which lights up the road during night-time car journeys and adds to the impressive look of this supercar. The rear view camera allows a 360 degree vision for the driver and keyless entry is supported by sharp doors that allow drivers and passengers to enter a stunning cabin full of interior features.
Interior mood lighting sets a calm and serene ambiance for any self hire drive. The cabin of this Range Rover provides comfort for passengers in a mixture of ways including cup holders for beverages and soft leather seats with power-lumbar support. Heated rear seats are an extra touch of opulence in the cabin: the heat from the seats can be adjusted to keep passengers body temperatures warm during car journeys in cold weather.

Driving
The sophisticated, fully adaptable six-speed transmission with CommandShift actually responds to your driving style and individual driving conditions by reconfiguring shift patterns, as appropriate, for optimum driveability in all situations, giving you an all round better driving experience. This means you’ll enjoy a better response, smoother and more efficient gear change, as well as improved economy.
Adaptive cruise control with forward alert
Adaptive Cruise Control with Forward Alert uses radar to scan the road ahead and detect the speed and distance of vehicles in front. Once a cruise speed is selected, the system will maintain this speed until a slower vehicle in front is detected. It will then reduce the vehicle's speed to maintain a constant time gap between the vehicles, until the slower vehicle moves away, at which point the set cruise speed will automatically be resumed.
Information, Communication and Entertainment
Providing a revolution in the clarity of driver information is the virtual instrument panel with the latest Thin Film Transistor (TFT)-LCD screen, which allows the display to be adapted to suit the driving conditions. Other essential information, as well as being the communication and entertainment hub of Range Rover Sport, is provided through the Touch-screen on the vehicle's facia.
Portable Audio Interface
The Portable Audio Interface allows the connection to the In-Car Entertainment system of an iPod with full track and search integration. An MP3 player or a mass storage device can also be connected via the USB port.
Four-corner air suspension with Terrain Response
Four corner air suspension allows the suspension to be raised or lowered manually as well as guaranteeing a constant ride height regardless of load. It works with Terrain Response® technology to help you confidently conquer a variety of different surfaces you may encounter, including gravel, grass, snow, rocks, and tarmac. By simply turning the conveniently positioned dial to the appropriate icon, the engine, transmission, suspension, and traction settings are instantly reconfigured for optimum driveability in all conditions. The Terrain Response system includes Dynamic Programme which can provide more performance-orientated responses to driver input by remapping steering, throttle and gearbox settings.
This driving technology now takes yet another step forward with Gradient Acceleration Control and Hill Start Assist. Gradient Acceleration Control prevents situations where the vehicle might accelerate too quickly on a steep gradient (and Hill Descent Control has not been selected), thereby allowing the driver time to regain control. Hill Start Assist automatically releases brake pressure on a steep gradient and prevents the vehicle from inadvertently rolling backwards.
Safety

The Electric Parking Brake is easily engaged through a lever on the central console, and can be released manually or simply by driving away.
