Porcelain White Autobiography 🤍
.
Story saw it first but I thought it was time to make an intro post for my new daily driver! This is my L494 Range Rover Sport Autobiography! But since the name is such a mouthful, I’ve affectionately nicknamed it ‘Sporty Spice.’
.
And spicy it is, because powering my L494 is the mighty AJ 5.0 Supercharged V8. The AJ 5.0 has found its way into a myriad of JLR cars ranging from 2-door sports cars to fullsize SUV’s over the last 15 years, and this 510hp variant of the lump is an absolute GEM of a powerplant! Tons of power and great throttle response everywhere in the rev range, and with a great exhaust note too!
.
In terms of options, this is without a doubt the single best optioned car I’ve owned, I truly feel spoiled by it. Heated/Cooled front & rear seats, heated steering wheel, dual pane glass, 825-Watt sound system, lane departure, radar cruise, pano roof, and even a freaking fridge. You name it, this Rover’s got it.
.
While the L494 lacks some of the visual panache and presence of an L322 or L405 Full Size Range, it makes up for it in spades. Not only does the L494 handle fantastically on the road, it’s locking center and rear diffs and TerrainSelect systems mean it’s got the offroad chops of its big siblings too.
.
I’m looking forward to many adventures with this one! 🥂

Skunkworks plate frame is lit. Also….fridge PIC??? In a Sport blows my mind. Also, you’ll have to educate me—I’m used to the big square exhaust denoting a V8 (non SVR). I figured the small circulars were all 6cyls. Is that just a pre refresh thing?

Congrats, sir. We affectionately shortened the autobiography trim by calling it ATB we were selling them new at the time. I always felt the pre-facelift cars had nicer seat pattern too.
