United States 2011 Range Rover Supercharged 5.0 SC V8 Santorini Black
Talk about an upgrade

I bought my first Land Rover vehicle, and first FFRR (2003 HSE) last Spring to use for trips to the marina and on nasty weather days when I didn't want to get my 370Z out of the garage. I ended up driving the RR even on nice sunny days because I preferred it over the Z so much.

I had been looking (passively) at newer FFRR for the past 3 months, and about two weeks ago I picked up the pace. Well, this week a 2011 Supercharged with tons of factory options and 41,000 miles came across in an email from a local dealer. Exactly the color combo I wanted (Santorini Black with Jet/Jet interior) and even has a warranty through the dealer (for 12 months and only on the powertrain, but it's better than nothing) The price was right, and they gave me a fair amount for my Z, so last night I became the owner of two Range Rovers.

The extra ~230HP from the 2003 make a HUGE difference. The acceleration in my 03 is pathetic compared to this beast.

I am surprised no one called me out for not posting a picture of my new (to me) full fat.

Very nice, enjoy in good health. SB is a beautiful and classic color on the L322. I owned a 2011 all black FF a couple of years back, except my wheels were standard SC fare (Style 11). Absolutely love your Style 14 wheels, please let me know if you ever want to sell them (I'm in CT)!

Thanks bluehorsehow! I've read your thread on your current AB, I think the Style 19 look good on yours, especially with the Exterior Design Pack. I'm going to keep my Style 14s though, I love them too.

Welcome along Tim... Out of interest? Why a front number plate on your car? I thought you didn’t use them in the States?

Although some states, such as Florida, do not require a front plate, most states require both rear and front plates Big Cry.

Yep, as others have noted, most states (including Missouri) require front plates.

I got away with not installing on my last car, but then again I only drove it when it was sunny and warm (6500 miles when I traded it in)
