Upgraded the RR Sport

Sagalout · 1 Mar 2016 at 22:44

Well, reading back my OP it turns out I wasn't quite ready for the pipe and slippers. It's a fantastic car but just never really bonded with it, so I've taken a bit of a hit and bought something that fulfilled the original criteria of a V8 rumbly petrol.

Hopefully picking it up Thursday - it's got the most ferocious sounding engine I've ever heard but can still do a tip run and have a bike strapped to it!

AMG Estate?

XF-R estate?

I was tempted by the Mercedes, but love the RR capability. Joe has the right engine

If it's a Bmw then not sure how it could be the same engine as an Xf-r unless you meant more generally a v8.

F10 m5 estate? Though m5s are usually montecarlo blue not estoril.

Range Rover SVR :cool:

I see one every day, sounds ace!

TripleT · 2 Mar 2016 at 08:31

Ooo X5, nice.

Got pics yet?

Cleisthenes · 2 Mar 2016 at 08:36

575hp is ridiculous in the current X5 M

TripleT · 2 Mar 2016 at 08:47

You've got me drooling over X5ms now. There's a X5M on auto trader but it's long beach blue. Beast though.

Winner!

Never been so excited about picking a car up. Took it for a long test drive and it's utterly astonishing. Can still waft (not as well as a full fat obviously, but still better than mosr other similar cars) but my god, when you put it in dynamic and open the taps it's goes like hell and sounds like something from it!

Told you so

Very jealous - the SVR is an incredible car.

Cleisthenes · 2 Mar 2016 at 09:04

DROOL. Congrats, they are stonking

You tricked me with estoril blue! Fantastic, can't wait to see pics

Jesus, very jelous. How do you shift 2.4tones to 60mph in 4.5seconds?! :eek:

By having enough power under the bonnet to move an oil tanker.

SVR - nice

Did you look at the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S - A bit more power and less weight.
