nacayoda –

The 0-100-0 (MPH) test is a very standard test, usually done alongside 0-60 and quarter mile. There are other methods of measurement, converting them helps out sometimes.

And I’m sure marketers did this test to show that the new Range is a bit faster. I have an 08 SS and I’m not angry at this…if it’s faster it’s faster. Always going to be a better model coming out.

That would scare some people if they dared take it off road….. or down at the bowls club, the glasses would rattle as they drove off…

That video looks strangely sinister for some reason. Maybe it’s the no voice-over or music. You could imagine it being on some weird late-night BBC drama.

The Sport is v. nice but a bit of a footballer’s car. Personally I’d have a Disco or Range Rover.

Actually Modest, in real life I am exactly that, modest. I don’t talk about myself at all in fact. I just figure that when I’m commenting here where nobody can put a face to me, why the hell not?

Nacayoda..

160km/h is 100mph… seems a fair comparison speed to me..

What kind of a whack test is this?
We can’t see who is better at braking, nor is there a point where we can measure when each car reaches 160kph. And who chose 160 as a comparison speed? ‘Marketers’ calculated this as a hard speed for the old model to reach quickly! That’s who.

This is a nonsense video, engineered by a marketing team and is of no real comparitive value. Car Advice should have realised this and not promotoed it as news!

Gut feeling, the Fornasari [Google it!!] a STUNNING SUV would have this RR licked and destroy and spank every other SUV on the market you want to put up next to it, [280kmh+ anybody] END-OF-STORY!

It’s a SUV, but has SuperCar like performance, handling, & luxo etc etc.

Is this the same engine out of the XF-R and XK-R?
If it is, it should stay in those cars and a diesel version made for Land Rover for off roading, as i still don’t see the point of these vehicles.
