Welcome Back: 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged

Range Rover does look perfect on the jungle


Looks like Jeremy Clarkson's on a road trip to the Kilners

Let's play dashboard spot the difference!

Modified Range Rover by WALD seems to be okay...

The Range Rover...this one is much heavier than the Audi Q7 V12 TDi and BMW X5 M, and slower, and thirstier. But unlike those Germans, it does look a bit more majestic. This one comes with a supercharged V8 engine that powered a Jaguar, so I think this would be somewhat awkward to drive in places like Houston or Abu Dhabi, or places where petrol isn't cheap. In Forza Motorsport 4 though....I maybe a world's biggest Range Rover fan but this engine makes no sense. I saw that on Top Gear when Jeremy Clarkson reviews the Range Rover, the Audi Q7 V12 TDi, and the BMW X5 M.

To make this one more convincing, Jeremy Clarkson has one of these. We saw him driving his Range Rover on a trip to search for his roots that can be traced back to Jeremy Clarkson's great-great-great grandfather, John Kilner, inventor of the original Kilner jar. It was in one episode of "Who Do You Think You Are?"

Also, this Range Rover is featured on Top Gear's original video launched in 2010 titled "Top Gear Apocalypse" for a game of "Dashboard Spot the Difference" with Richard Hammond and James May. It's funny and that's enough.

Imagine if the back of the Range Rover looks perfect to put a drinks cabinet just like the modified Range Rover by Overfinch in collaboration with Holland & Holland, the gun maker.



That looks good! Remember that we don't do "Drinking while Driving" but we do keep the drinks for emergency purposes. The Range Rover, still on its 3rd generation, maybe a bit staunch and a bit old but it is catching up...
