<\/h1>\n<\/h1>\nThe Range Rover Astronaut Edition is the ultimate statement of exclusivity in the luxury SUV, reserved for an elite cadre of individuals who have secured\u2002their places among the stars. This extraordinary machine marries earthbound comfort with space-age technology in the most unique vehicular experience for Virgin Galactic’s Future Astronauts to date!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Range Rover Astronaut Edition is defined not only by its incredible design but also by its breathtaking exclusivity. This one-of-a-kind ride is available only to those who are signed up to be Virgin Galactic Future Astronauts, none of whom have been on an actual spacecraft yet. With some 600-700 people having already laid down $250,000 for a 90-minute ride with Virgin Galactic, this effectively sets the production limit at 700 units for the whole world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The exclusivity is part of the continuing partnership between Land Rover and Virgin Galactic that launched\u2002in 2014. It\u2019s more than lip service, however, as Land Rover vehicles are used at Virgin Galactic\u2019s facilities to tow space vehicles, transport\u2002equipment, and even clear runways prior to launch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Image credit: RangeRover<\/p><\/div>\n The Astronaut Edition features a stunning Zero Gravity Blue paint finish, which was specially developed for this watch\u2002and is inspired by the depth and brilliance of the night sky. This special\u2002hue really embodies the spirit of space travel, and immediately creates a visual link with the cosmos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There is unique Astronaut Edition\u2002badging on the tailgate and on the side profile finishers. In\u2002what’s perhaps the most extraordinary detail, the vehicle comes with custom puddle lamps that shine the silhouette of Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo on the ground, serving as a breathtaking visual reminder of the owner’s trip into space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The\u2002Astronaut Edition cabin is a rocket-themed retreat, inside and out, with insane details. The\u2002centerpiece are two amazing discs that sit within the cup holders, each made from the actual front landing skid of the Virgin Spaceship Unity.<\/span><\/p>\n The most amazing part about these discs is how they evolve: after the owners finish their Virgin Galactic space flight, these original pieces are replaced with material from the wooden skid that the actual spacecraft\u2002they flew on rests on, complete with personalized inscriptions outlining their “life-changing experience\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Inside there is a unique DNA of Flight\u2002graphic on the carbon fibre centre console lid and the leather rear armrest illustrating the development of manned flight from Icarus\u2019 mythical wings to the Wright Brothers\u2019 aeroplane and the Apollo Lunar Module. The machined aluminum door handles are etched\u2002with Virgin Galactic s Future Astronaut community constellation pattern, a graphic which also adorns the front headrests and the glove box.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Image credit: RangeRover<\/p><\/div>\n The Range Rover Astronaut Edition has two powerplant choices to suit different tastes:<\/span><\/p>\n P400e Plug-in Hybrid:<\/b> It\u2002has a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine along with electric power, with a combined power output ranging from 398-404 horsepower.

On the Indian side, the standard Range Rover models are priced between \u20b92.31 crore – \u20b94.25 crore, meaning that the Astronaut Edition would be at a premium\u2002over these figures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Image credit: RangeRover<\/p><\/div>\n As the Future Astronauts have already poured in $250,000 to book their space flight tickets, the extra cost for this exclusive Range Rover will be small change for\u2002this elite group.
