Electric vs V8 hill climb in a Land Rover

[@MrAdopado]

I've done some sprint hill climbing ... and there's no way I would go up without full belts! Mighty impressive though!

[@PabloSanchez-qu6ib]

There is one way: running up.

[@Dakalberry]

Yeah in NZ can’t take passengers on hillclimb without rollcage

[@thedoctor2102]

That run in the electric Land Rover made him look like a proper old formula one race driver in the seat of a track race truck, with that giant steering wheel and spacious area.

[@StewartChambers]

Damn, Paul looked like he was out on a leisurely sunday pootle - that man can drive - and what a car too. Great episode guys.

[@spudproductions7606]

Paul is a quick driver. 👍👍😎

[@ledsalesoz]

Unfortunately they all think that until they wrap themselves around a tree. If you don't know who Peter Brock is, google him, classic example. Ayrton Senna was another. Physics is a mean, unforgiving bitch...

[@grahambeyer6254]

Britpart Land Rover my fav of the day, Eleccy Landy 2nd. The unofficial Times were as follows Britpart land Rover 8:53 - 9:33 = 40secs. The Electric Land Rover 10:31 - 11:11 = 42 secs. You can make up your own minds about the why there was an obvious 2 secs difference as explained at the end of the video 11:41. Great fun!

[@muskiet8687]

I think another part which wasn't discussed, is the ability to drive the cars fast. The Britpart has bucket seats, proper harnesses, and a small steering wheel. The electric has a bench, lap belts, and a steering wheel big enough for a tractor. They weren't able to concentrate on driving fast because they were constantly trying to stay in their seats while trying to keep the steering wheel in the proper direction.

[@alex_the_balding_fat_man]

Literally one second in it! Fabulous.

[@williamclark6466]

I can't choose. I just love that you all had a fabulous day out, enjoying your shared passion for motorsport. Cheers!

[@miless2111sutube]

wow, imagine a combination of the race chassis and the electric drive train! Amazing video and so glad it popped up in my suggestions at the end of a Fully Charged vid. Great video and lovely cars.

[@spudproductions7606]

Thanks 👍👍

[@scimart]

Nobody seems to have pointed out that Paul was fully focussed, working flat out while Moggy (skid lid excepted) looked like he was out for a Sunday afternoon trip to B&Q...chatting all the way up and even catching/passing over an errant water bottle!

[@joeg3950]

Talk about fun! Hope the bar had enough for all! Fantastic

[@obliograce3551]

Hill climb? OK, I'm a Yank and hill climbing events mean something totally different over here. I would definitely not call any of that "off-road" as "off-road" makes me think of a snorkel for driving through water crossings up to your hood, crawling up rocky hills, etc. And the Rover is certainly capable of all of that. The Lotus and the Jaguars, not so much. With that said, it looked like a fun event to watch - or drive fast in. My first car was a 1963 MG Midget that I had to do an engine swap on which I paid for with my paper route money. I love those British cars, both on display and having a chance to let it rip even for a short bit. The sound of well built and balanced engines was music to my ears. It was audible poetry in motion. Fun. Thanks.

[@KaiRoberts-q2r]

Imagine if the e power rover had the racing body chassis and suspension parts on it. Love ol gas powered performance vehicle. But e power is the future for customer cars n race cars.

[@charlesgraphman4192]

[@HillClimbTV]

Great video - looking forward to there being more electric cars on the hills.

[@spudproductions7606]

Thanks 👍👍

[@locknut5382]

Of the two, your Land Rover provided the loudest, most sustained screams. And electrical power just has to be better than recycled dinosaur dinners! No racket, stink or pollution, apart from the tyre rubber, and it still looks like a standard Landy. Can you do the same run next year in the 'Lightning Bug', to show how it performs? Thanks Richard. 🙂👍

[@owenmcnally5735]

Great Video Richard, was great to meet you at the installer show and cells and systems expo last week, glad you managed to get entry to the battery show.

[@mgmcd1]

The fact that the electric was even put up against the full race LR speaks volumes. Interesting comparison. I’d love to have tried those myself. I’ve been a passenger in Gen2 Hemi Satellite, and a Model S. The S was so much faster since the drive train didn’t need to spool up. It just went.

[@dcvariousvids8082]

That MG was beautiful and the E-Type I’ve always liked but for me, the Series 1 Landys get it. As the off-roader racing beast, that was something to watch. But the Landy that still looks like one but has Tesla under the bonnet gets my vote.

[@jasonblair4057]

This was a great fun video. Thanks. Looking for to the details of the build off the blue one.

I've only just noticed there's no seatbelts in your defender? Surely they were standard fit when that left the factory? Edit: looked back at a previous video - lap belts only. Should be easy to upgrade to proper, safer 3 point belts?

Some electric’s sound like jet engines while they actually jet! Loud is cool until its getting beat by something quieter. Then its just embarrassing.

[@joestewart5406]

@@AdamC5013a v8 roar is far better than any satisfaction you would get from passing someone. All you have to do is blip the throttle when your exhaust is pointed at them and they loose all of their confidence or they get intimidated by the sound and stay back.

0:30....As a retired Bucklenuster I'm glad that Lucas has finally discovered electricity.😂😂

[@ChromeFlakes]

I love that lightning power Landy, but I can’t believe you’re racing it with only lap belts. If it’s faster than a mid-mounted tubular chassis race car down the straight, you should really be running with at least a 5 point harness. You don’t want your/your passenger’s heads/arms/legs flailing out of the vehicle during a roll over accident. 😳

[@carholic-sz3qv]

Lol!!!! All you like to talk about is just 0-60 while the V8 was overall faster and the Tesla powered one even more than 350hp!

[@carholic-sz3qv]

It would have been fair to compare two almost exact vehicles with V8 and electric motor.

[@ChromeFlakes]

@@carholic-sz3qv one is a traditional 50s design Landy, they other is a tubular chassis race car. If you put the Tesla drive train in the V8 chassis it would be infinitely faster than the ol’ euthanasia smoke machine.
