RANGE ROVER Evolution –1970–2020 / 50 Years of Range Rover. Range Rover is celebrating the model’s golden jubilee milestone with the release of a limited-edition new model: the Range Rover Fifty Edition.
The iconic British four-wheel drive has been on and off the roads now for a half century, with the first model released on 17 June 1970. Back then it was available in a two-door body only, but launched with a permanent dual-range four-wheel drive system, four-wheel disc brakes and even a 3500kg tow rating.
Over the following 50 years, the ‘Rangie’ has continued to innovate and was the first 4×4 to feature anti-lock brakes, electronic traction control and automatic electronic air suspension.
Through four distinct generations, the Range Rover has sold upwards of one-million vehicles and remains renowned for its capability as much as it is for its luxury.
To commemorate this anniversary, and in recognition of the launch year, a limited run of just 1970 Range Rover Fifty Edition models will be made available
Based on the Range Rover Autobiography (standard wheelbase), which features the 385kW/625Nm 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine, the Range Rover Fifty is available to Australian buyers in a choice of four colours; Carpathian Grey, Rosello Red, Aruba and Santorini Black.
Other markets have a decidedly more colourful choice, with the ‘Fifty offered in three additional shades, Tuscan Blue, Davos White and Bahama Gold, all from the original 1970 Range Rover catalogue.
A selection of two unique 22-inch wheel designs, exterior trim accents in Auric Atlas and a bespoke ‘Fifty’ script badge complete the look. Inside the headrests, dashboard and illuminated kickplates also feature the script, where a plaque notes the car as ‘1 of 1970’ vehicles commissioned.
