Range Rover Sport Review: Mud and Track | Top Gear | Series 20 | BBC

With prices starting at £50,000 it is cheaper than a proper Range Rover and as it is available with seven seats it is also more practical, but as I said at the beginning, the old Range Rover Sport was a bit of a scam, the question must be this . It really is a Range Rover and it is a

sport

, let's start with the first thing, no matter how much wood and leather it is equipped with the branding of a real Range Rover, it is capable of tackling this kind of thing. There is important work being done that goes well from the beginning.

What you need to know is that this is not a discovery in a Range Rover dress, it has the proper Range Rover chassis and the same terrain response system, plus it analyzes the terrain you are driving on and automatically adjusts the suspension, the

gear

box and engine brakes. output to fit muddy berry stain Faris, that's what's implied, well, in addition to that terrain response, there's also a computer that disengages the stabilizer bars to increase wheel articulation. We're done, I mean Louis like a big old humming axle. together little notice and there is more yes, the good water gives me the opportunity to play with something else that I have on board and it is the sonar boy, the not so large transmitters and receivers on the exterior mirrors measure the depth of the water and make a great noise. that it gets too deep I'm not worried I'm not worried I feel like I'm driving a luxury hotel room through a swamp Oh Oh, that stain is more or less like never before, yeah, I think I've repaired it more or less less, that's how it was good.

So there we are, this car in the right hands is very good off-road and now we must move on to this part of the badge, welcome to the Donington Park Race

track

and if the

sport

is as sporty as Land Rover claims it should offer a good show here, They get them with a V6 or V8 diesel. The one I'm using is the supercharged gasoline V8 with 503 brake horsepower, so that power is taken care of and because it's built on the new all-aluminum chassis from the right

range

. The Rover is half a ton lighter than the old sports car that turns, gets up and then turns around and then comes back, the 503 breaks into all four wheels and that's it, in addition to the weight loss, the computer-controlled suspension combats the body roll and there's an active rear differential like you get in a BMW m5, it also has something called torque vectoring which dictates how much power is sent to each of the wheels and in the wet and that's some supercar stuff, that's it. what you get in the McLaren 12c road car.

What amazes me right now is that throwing this car around this

track

doesn't feel like it's asking you to do something it doesn't want to do, it feels at home overall on a track, it's good, but what? Well. Well, to find out, as always we must enlist the help of the world's most talkative racing driver. Today, Stig is in a mini John Cooper Works GP, one of the toughest hot hatches you can buy and now he'll use it to set a lap. When you're ready, go now, let's find out if that can be overcome by the big, bulky 4x4 and to oversee the proceedings I'll be riding shotgun.

The beauty of this is that I have no idea what the last car was called. I have no idea what's there. I don't care, no bias, yeah, all you can do is try to go as fast as you can, why did we go off, it was the first corner, don't break it, all the girls got caught, oh that's very, very Quick, down there we could get out of there. work which is good I'm not worried about putting it off because this is like a squawk to him it's irrelevant 12 membrane now this is still a very big and heavy car it weighs more than the heaviest Mercedes S Class but even at the speed of the Stig it looked sporty to have everything in order our Range Rover Sport at the moment but somehow we are not fantastic that it comes across for a minute which is the longest and most prolonged tire screech in the history of tires and the screeching wall that is my that was flying she came I mean most of the notes the final chain 1:29 puts 8 to the power of one 29.5 there it is, so after years of writing checks you can't cash, this car finally earned the right to be called Range Rover Sport.
