I've paused this at 10:10 in because, I know I've commented a million times blabbering on about the same thing, the production quality of this content Sam is insane! I hear automotive KZbinrs/Content Creator's all the time saying 'I wish we had the production budgets like Top Gear' and 'I wish we had the equipment and tech that comes with TV money' but here Sam is yet again showing he doesn't need any of that to deliver parity with those big budget productions when it comes to cinematography and production quality. Incredible stuff and I really really hope this skill set and attention to detail are being put to good use beyond this channel. Well done again Sam 👏

[@simonorr594]

You can see the respect he gets from the manufacturers for the production quality. I used to give out Land Rovers when I worked there - it makes a big difference.

Love you, Sam, but it is a 635 hp high performance SUV... dwelling on the gas mileage just doesn't make sense. Whether it is this RR Sport, an Aston 707, Urus, etc... nobody expects good mileage from them. I don't expect good mileage from my AMG S63. But I do get what I did expect - amazing performance and comfort. The RR Sport delivers on both (it is my other car).

Thank you Sam, for visiting Portugal, once again. Amazing footage, you are still the reference for car youtubers. Next time you want Pastéis de Nata, I suggest visit the Pastéis de Belém, they are doing it since 1837, and that region is a good spot, for some of your amazing footage.

I got 25-30mpg from a V8 Dodge Charger across the States (NYC to LA), mostly not on interstates and a reasonable amount of spirited driving. That engine is built of pug iron, I'd expect more from a European vehicle.

@@miyahtallulah neither of my AMGs have broken down. My neighbour’s Range Rover got taken away on a flatbed this week. To be fair, his wife’s new shape defender is still going. Look, all cars can break down, but JLR cars just happen to break down more often, hence why they are at the bottom of independent reliability rankings around the world. No need to get upset about it. It’s not a personal attack on you. Yes, I do have cars and horses, thank you for the advice.

[@UKArtlover]

Mr Harry Metcalfe has opted for a long term diesel version and gets about 40mpg and plenty powerful enough ..the best compromise although RRP on a D350 Autobiography snicks into 6 figures … ah decisions decisions 😂

[@axing_]

I adore the new big body Range Rover enough to overlook the iconic 5.0 being gone, but something about the looks of the Sport just makes me long for the previous generation even more than I always used to. Comparing this Sport SV and the old SVR next to each other I can't help but think something went wrong (especially visually) and that makes the lack of the 5.0 harder to overlook. The big body Range was always the monolithic classy thing parked outside the stately estate and it's kept that atmosphere into the new generation, while the Sport which always belonged more in front of a modern house in the city and looked much 'sportier' than it's big brother seems to now be trying to be the big brother in spite of it's naming. The BMW V8 made it almost german sadly - big power and torque, but with little personality.
