Sweet Mother of God, a Range Rover Just Conquered the Nürburgring

Sweet mother of god, a Range Rover just conquered the Nürburgring with a time of 8:14…. Just let that sink in for a second. A three ton SUV just conquered the Nürburgring. The Green Hell. A place where Niki Lauda almost lost his life. Where countless others have lost their lives.

Where cars, like the new NSX, go to die. It’s a killer. And a SUV just kicked its glorious deadly butt! The new Range Rover is a wonderful thing.

It shed a bunch of weight. Increased its luxury appeal, and continues to be a real alternative to the Mercedes S-Class. And like the new S-Class, it too has a darker more sinister side that it wants to show the public.

The ‘Ring proven SUV was breathed heavily upon from Jaguar Range Rovers Special Operations Department who are also behind the Project 7 F-Type.

The Range Rover SVR has a 550hp Supercharged V8 and most likely extensive weight savings throughout. Also probably a roll cage because, who in their right mind would try to tackle the Nürburgring IN A SUV WITHOUT ONE?!

No word on whether or not we mere mortals will be able to buy one, but like the Project 7 that just got green lit, expect word from Range Rover soon saying they will build it.

What’s truly crazy is that this car, as pointed out by Jalopnik would be very close to the fastest lap in the Formula 1 Grand Prix from 1976. Again, a three ton SUV. Maybe there isn’t such a thing as too much power? Or maybe there really is?

Who wants to put a Huayra engine in a FR-S? Anyone? Tell us about it in the forum.>>
