And bloody hell do they shift! I never considered my car to be slow but the SC is something else. Just power, power and more power. Coupled to the silky smooth 6 speed box it was just an amazing car to drive.

Looking at the car I hope to buy tomorrow, I just hope it is as nice as the one I drove today! 

please dont do this dan, i'm wanting a s/c even more now...

supercharged rocks... First when I got to a LR dealer he gave me a SC to testdrive because the 3.6 was out of budget and I didnt want a td6 I've never driven another RR than the SC but I also test drove a VW touareg which was rubbish... (the sales man at VW even admitted that a RR is better)

today I had one of these bloody french drivers which really played with me.. He slowed me down first,then when I wanted to overtake he wouldnt let me.

Well I showed him the 400HP from the Jag Engine..

I forget to add: the supercharged is also good offroad (I've never seen one offroad before,but mine performed great)

and there is the sound... Awesome

there is one negative aspect: it is thirsty. But come on,you only live once.

136 mph is , well pretty good ..

If you want to be more impressed go blag a test drive in a 5.0L S/C..................... it's even better 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

Yup, I thought the 4.2 SC was great! Little did I know that upon trying the 5.0 SC I didn't want to buy a 4.2 SC anymore...
Now, I'm waiting to try a remapped version of the 5.0 SC so I can get one when it's dirt cheap  2000 BMW M5, Avus Blue/LeMans Leather Interior
2006 Range Rover Westminster Java Black

Think thats why i don't really want to give my 4.2 SC up unless it was for a 5.0 Litre SC , as it does go like off a shovel , plus brings out the evil side in you ...

I was told to Tap the accelerator 6 times quickly then floor it ====================================

"Open Mike Night " sounded like a lot of fun until i found out i was going to an Autopsy

Just a form of kick-down really , it was the sales guy at the time i bought mine that told me to do it ====================================

Hugi.. which touareg did you drive? i have come from Touareg to FFRR, i can honestly say that it is a very very good car in my opinion.

very well equiped, and very powerful.

will go anywhere a FF will go off road too!!

i had a 3.0l V6 with 300bhp and over 600nm, that is not to be sneezed at..

i am a HUGE FFRR fan and i love the V8 to bits, but don't rule out other very capable cars. one of my friends had a Touareg with 1001nm of torque and about 400bhp, it was absolutely outrageous.

all the above are my own points of view and don't intend to upset anyone with them, just trying to stick up for a fantastic car.. Current: TDV8 (3.6) RRS HSE



Past: TDV8(4.4) Vogue
Discovery 3 Commercial
TDV8(3.6) Vogue
TD6 Vogue
D2 V8 ES
D1 V8 ES
RR Vogue Classic
