Driving The Range Rover Sport P525 HSE Dynamic in Rain - Supercharged V8 Beast (POV Binaural Audio)

[@danieleregoli812]

Agree: Range Rovers have that quintessentially British quality... that "wafting along" kind of float, that no other [luxury] car manages to get. Not even the more expensive German ones are on a par.

Nice to see the Jaguar supercharged 5.0L V8 still kicking around since the death of the XJ

[@TedwardDrives]

its a real gem in character and sound

[@peterlbaldwin511]

One of the best things about Range Rovers is the driver's seat position. I had a 1984 Range Rover 3.5 ltre, V8 Petrol SE, model in Africa. At the time,I lived on a farm, 34 kms(18 miles) from the capital, along a major arterial road leading north. Consequently there was a lot of Heavy Goods traffic to deal with, mostly 18 wheelers. In the wet weather they would throw up really quite dense clouds of spray from their massive wheels. It was so bad that even with windscreen wipers on maximum, drivers of ordinary saloon cars would battle to see the road ahead, but in a Range Rover one sat high enough to be above the "sprayline"...!! "Living Room" comfort with Genuine Off Road superlative capabilities..!

[@doggedlydetermined7022]

I drive one of these and it’s essentially an SVR for tens of thousands less. Giving up a bit of sound and handling that’s about it.

I have one but an 18 supercharged in black. My favorite car ever. The sound is brutal. But the car can be whatever you want it to. It can chill or just start barking right away. Love it

[@chillphung8327]

These are great, at 6'0" I love how I can get into a really nice low driving position with the wheel high and close, and the ZF 8 speed auto is fun to shift with the paddles for a slushbox! I also like how well the AWD system rotates under power if you crank the wheel over and floor it. It also rotates super well under brakes (I autocrossed one at a Jaguar/Land Rover promo event).

You summed up the Range Rover experience perfectly. I owned a 2010 full size autobiography that had essentially the same 5.0 supercharged V8. The seating position, startup sound, air suspension, sound system and lastly smell of that genuine leather interior I haven’t found in any other brand. I owned it until 100k miles and the only repair needed was a water pump. I definitely plan on owning one again!

Can’t go wrong with either of them. I can tell u the last 4 rovers I’ve owned, did not have warranties and they have been amazing, Aslong as u maintain them, they are actually solid, little shit here n there; but nothing as far as reliability, amazing in snow and rain, comfy, fast, looks great, my last river had almost 140k miles, we bought it with 80k and in the 60k miles we added, only changed the brakes, rotors, oil changes, and a starter went bad, overall was the best SUVs I’ve owned, I’ve owned all the luxury SUV, navigator black label, Escalade platinum, qx80 Infiniti, Lexus lx570, gls550, gls63, I still have the rovers :) afford the Maintenance and you will be fine.

I love how smooth it drives. On the one hand, it's a Range Rover, so it has a kind of roughness. But on the other hand, the handling and acceleration seem incredibly smooth and nice. If you hit the gas the engine roars, but if you then lift it sounds almost silent. It's the perfect balance between comfortable British luxury and the adventurousness of a Range Rover.
