Faster than an e53 X5 4.8is, but seemingly not by as much as the owner expected / would have liked.

the performance figures would suggest he was probably using half throttle! 0-60 6.1 vs 4.1

Numerous ~70 - ~120 roll-ons showed it was faster, but really not by much. As we all know though, to really pull a gap needs a huge performance differential.

Ah ok, by not really relevant timings, it’s still faster..

This was lovely

Wow, it’s been a long time since I saw one of those. They weren’t even common 20 years ago.

There was a mk2 GTE at knockhill yesterday.

Was following a current gen 740d round a roundabout when a current gen M760Li "breezed" past us.

Can't be many of those badgers about

Not an irl spot but I love this. Volvo Amazon with an S38 and a big fat turbo, 800bhp apparently.

Yes, exactly like I said.

im sure the 4.8is was fast in its day, but I'm still struggling to believe the SVR wouldn’t completely smash the 4.8is if it was actually trying.

It’s 2 seconds faster to 60, 2.5 seconds faster 1/4 mile, then it’s got an 8 speed gearbox and nearly 45% more bhp, 25% more torques & 10% less weight.

2 seconds quicker to 60 but only 2.5 seconds quicker over a 1/4mile would suggest that when up and rolling there isn't actually a massive difference between them

fair point, that does suggest a chunk of time is made off the line.

What was the closing speed at the quarter mile?

very little info on the F-Pace on line yet - interesting one though.

Slightly o/t, a general moan; If it makes quoted weight, which JLRs tend not to

Let's be clear, I couldn't give a fuck either way.

It was a throw-away comment. We had some pulls on the motorway, I expected it to romp off and he clearly did yet it didn't. It was faster and he pulled on me, but not by much. I'm not trying to claim it's a fast car, it's 2 tonnes and only has 360bhp, 4wd and the aerodynamics of a garden shed. I've owned fast cars and this isn't one.
