Official off-road test MY11 Range Rover Sport.mov

[maxkhalid]

well done :)

[JamieOGilmore]

Most are TDV6 2.7 with the exception of the red and white TDV8's.

[TomMainChannel]

What engines are in those models, V8 or V6?

[Kcodez]

Let the toyota lead the way LOL

[JamieOGilmore]

@Kcodez Actually the Toyota was our local guide from the nearby 4WD Tour Centre - so yeah - makes sense to let them lead.

[EchoMillennium1]

lol @ 14:00

[nucleusdh]

some rubber on the gray (graphite) and a red RRS?))

great tires!

[FaisalAMuttaqin]

Did anyone see a woman fall at 01:37 ??

[Le0Heart]

Very nice video. And I am a Land Rover lover myself. But, I must say it makes me sad to see all those magnificent piece british engineering insulted with "road tires" on an off-road track ? :( I can never stand a person making an RRS looks like it has to struggle :D or even rev up to cross something :/ It can do it on its own with low revs but with appropriate tires. Still all of them did all the course, hats of to the engineering !!! Love em!

[ThugProductions]

This is awesome and makes me never want another SUV besides my Rover.

Did all members change their tyres, or are you running stock setup? Please let me know what brand/model you are all running & PSI, etc.

THX!

[JamieOGilmore]

@ThugProductions Most people ran their road rubber/daily driver tyres to this event.

I was running a set of Cooper Zeon LTZ's 285/60/18 dropped down to around 24psi.

Some of the guys only dropped pressures to 28.

[NerdieHarlie]

The white range rover is so pretty... I want a white range rover :<

[hjk771]

hey which one is 11 hahahaha

[Hilton205]

@hjk771 2:05 the grey one, i believe ! ;)

[JamieOGilmore]

@Hilton205 Bingo

[Dimi90fuerth]

This Video shows:

RRS are actually really good stock offroad vehicles, driven by old men with too much money(and women).

But please, stop pushing/holding the cars...it's nonsense! Think you can hold 2,7tons at 16:40? 14:00 what the hell is wrong with you? It's so narrow you're just gonna make him scratch something. 06:35 you think your push got him out? come on...get rid of stroking the cars!

[JamieOGilmore]

@Dimi90fuerth Hey mate,

Thanks for your interest in the vids.

Most of the activity you noted was undertaken by the guide from Black Spur 4WD Training Centre who was in the Toyota. You may want to raise the matter with them.

As for the age thing, I'm not sure about the relevance there champ. Two out of the five cars have owners under 45. One owner is 38. The other two are in their 50's. Not sure I'd really say that it was an 'old' crowd. As long as people enjoy it - who cares about the age or $.

@JamieOGilmore  hi mate i have a g4 event veh RRS BL05 KZH from the 2006 challenge just wanted to ask the wine red rrs has a rear spare whell carrier did he farbricate this himself did he buy it as i am looking to remove my spare wheel from underneath due to lpg conversion as mine is a v8 petrol thx

[03RRHSE]

They r the best you know how..... they all run on stock/street tires!

[90PRADO]

very nice video!!

What is first music ? Very Cool!!

I have 2nd range rover, but do not have the experience of running in the off-road.

[JamieOGilmore]

@90PRADO The first music is a Black Eyed Peas track mate.

[Painkiller019]

Range Rover= one of the best cars at off-road made nowadays! There are 2 types of cars, Range Rovers and SUV's!

[pilebaina]

you're my saver jamie!! i was looking for this for years

[masterkorp]

Glad to see you're doing what this machines were made for, great machines good off road capability while being very confortable. Not my personal choise i will go with the defender (better off road and cheaper).

[PhiBokeh]

merci l'électronique !!!

[brackipas]

A modified / lifted toyota with a/t's. Stock R/R's with highway tyres. Imagine toyota vs lifted / modified defender or discovery. No contest.

[1RAAWR]

16:25 good intentions, but does he really think he can hold it?

[polito25252]

this vidio have a problems, is embarrassing see a Toyota Land cruiser guiding all land rovers. Now the message would be that buy a toyota becouse is the best that land rover?

[1RAAWR]

@polito25252 yeah but the yota isn't exactly a luxury ride. And let's see how they compare on pavement too.

[cld9182]

@polito25252 and its an oooold toyota, maybe a 88? haha

[polito25252]

this vidio have a problems, is embarrassing see a Toyota Land cruiser guiding all land rovers.

[JamieOGilmore]

@spidey74031

LOL @ Spidey.

There are more than a few people like that I'm sure and I'm often considered a bit of a nut for taking mine off-road the way I do but hey - each to their own - that's what I bought mine for. There are a surprising number of like-minded nuts in the Range Rover Club that also seem to enjoy this kind of thing.

[violonistugeo]

fiat panda 4x4 the best

[thewebful]

Jamie, super video, great tracks and RRS in their element getting down and dirty, sensational. Tyres obviously a bit of an issue for one or two in that slick mud but just shows how capable these are even on street rubber.

Keep them coming i enjoy your vids.

[DIESELBOY442]

Very cool video, looks like a lot of fun. But the trucks shown are not prepared.. most look like they have street tires.

[d3syd]

Another great video Jamie. Beautiful.

Thinking of trading in my D3 later this year for a MY2011 RRV TDV8. 700Nm of torque :-)) Would love to give it some exercise on a track like that once I get it :)

[KevDrover]

Nice work Jamie. Have they increased the lift on the new model??

[JamieOGilmore]

You must be thinking of the Supercharged Sport mate with every possible option including the push button reach around service. If you option up a 200 series you can almost get to the same money, just not the same performance.

[VooDooGTO]

200 series is 85 to 120k. I found plenty of RRS's at over 175k so hardly in the same range. Very nice cars for sure but hardly relevant in Australia IMO. Id love to see the number that actually sell each year.

[JamieOGilmore]

[JamieOGilmore]

@VooDooGTO

Is this the model you were talking about?

Make : Land Rover

Model : Range Rover Sport

Variation : 5.0 V8 SUPERCHARGED

Release Date : 2010 - 10

Performance

Acceleration 0-100 Final: 6.2

[rangerover06sc]

@JamieOGilmore Actually, testers have observed 0-60 times of about 5.1 seconds(that probably converts to like 5.3 or 5.4 seconds to 100 kph). That puts in the same territory as the 4.6L Mustang GT or the 2011 Charger R/T. So would say its defantly faster then any production land cruiser, including the 5.7L petrol V8 versions. Also thanks being my evidence people actually take their Range Rovers off road :)

[JamieOGilmore]

@VooDooGTO

Comparison Stats for the 200 series

Engine Size/Type: 4.5-litre, direct-injection, twin-turbo, diesel V8.

Power: 195kW at 3400rpm.

Torque: 650Nm from 1600-2600rpm.

0-100km/h: 10.5 seconds.

[Dorko85]

Brilliant show case of the Rangie! I would love to play in this area in my Disco!

Keep up the great clips!

[VooDooGTO]

The RR is almost as good as a 20yr old toyota these days. Almost but not quite.. Definitely much nicer to drive and better interiors but these ones had the WORST tyre choices. Its a shame they price themselves so far out oft the market or they might have made an awesome tourer instead of a city orientated status symbol.

[JamieOGilmore]

@VooDooGTO

Different strokes for different folks is suppose. The beauty of the sport is that even on road rubber, you can do this kind of thing and then jump straight into the black-top and drive it like a sports car. Most modified fouby's are terrible to drive on the road and the Sport for a lot of people gives the bes of both worlds.

[JamieOGilmore]

@VooDooGTO

As for the price, again that probably comes down to individual choice and situation. Mind you, a new 200 series will set you back somewhere between 90-140k which is the same range as the Sport.

[fraysulfato]

Thank you guys to show us the RRS in their natural habitat. Awesome. Greetings from Spain

[MARR27779]

increible!!!!!!!!!Congrats from Spain
