My 4.6 litre Range Rover from 1997 will do 0 to 60 in around 14 seconds, but it will do it just as quickly pulling another Range Rover on a trailer, or across a ploughed field.
Never really got the attraction of getting to 60mph as fast as possible. How often do you attempt that in real-world use?
- jackmott42 3y agoI go 0-60 all out much more often than I pull range rovers

- steveoscaro 3y agoPretty much every single drive from my house since that involves a short freeway on-ramp... How often do you tow a range rover with your range rover?
- Gordonjcp 3y agoEvery couple of months or so. During the winter I regularly tow stuck vehicles out of the snow, biggest one so far was a fully-laden 28-tonne curtainsider.
- ethbr0 3y agoWhy not both? Obligatory: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eYxwgmACJMY&t=1m26s https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eYxwgmACJMY&t=1m26s
- jacquesm 3y agoHehe. Former CL 55 owner here, that was pretty predictable...
- Moto7451 3y agoMy real world use cases: #1 Merging onto the freeway from a stop in LA, Atlanta, and other cities where you have fast drivers, traffic, and short freeway entrances or entrances with stop lights. Remember it’s your job to prevent the flow of traffic from yielding. #2 Accelerate from danger/to safety. Misjudged your gap in a turn? Accelerate to safety. Person just ran the red? Accelerate from danger. Stuff happens and it’s nice to have the power available.
- Gordonjcp 3y agoI can't think of a set of circumstances where either of those would happen, outside of bad driving.
- ethbr0 3y agoTractor trailer merging into your lane because they didn't see you and someone's behind you.
- Gordonjcp 3y agoSo in that situation you'd accelerate into the side of the truck, and not brake to avoid it?
- ethbr0 3y agoSo you'd slam on your brakes with someone behind you? Instead of accelerating forward?
- Gordonjcp 3y agoYes, absolutely. You are never going to out-accelerate the truck in front of you. If someone hits the back of you, it's a them problem. If you prefer to end up driving into the side of a truck and getting squashed, then I guess that's your decision.
