It's not often you interpret
a story that thrills, puzzles, amazes and confounds all within the first few
paragraphs. That was the variety of emotions washing over me when I read
Digital Editor Andrew Stoy's explanation of the new Land Rover Range Rover.
It wasn't with the effective
of the tale, which Stoy did well while battling jet lag. No, it was the story
the Land Rover people were crafting and spinning what it is they aim to achieve
with this latest Range Rover flagship/battleship.
See, this is the first
sport usefulness vehicle to use an all aluminum frame. Momentous stuff if you
ask me. It's a weight saving move, for sure, and we're told an attempt to
increase its structural inflexibility for better ride and treatment. That this
all aluminum effort bleached the behemoth by a whopping 39 percent 700 pounds
is no easy feat, and they've done it! Bravo.
To make it even better
Land Rover fitted the fashionably designed vessel with a 3.0-liter
diesel-hybrid engine. So ready, this monster can get from a standstill to 60 in
less than seven seconds, a more-than-respectable time. Though fuel-economy comparison
are apples to guavas, in its diesel-hybrid pattern this largest Range Rover
achieves an imposing 45.5 miles per gallon on the European fuel cycle, a test
that is more generous than that to which we subject U.S. vehicles. Still, this attainment
deserves a hearty “Wow!”
