United Kingdom 2010 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Santorini Black

Only one game in town. Exclusive, powerful and designed for the road rather than track: http://www.alpina-automobiles.com/?4214&L=0

It will outrun a Gallardo to 185mph and go on to a top speed of 205mph. I used a B5 Touring (5 series version, one of 4 RHD cars made) as my business transport and it was superb. My wife used to call it a "thug in a suit"! Oh and take the engine specs with a pinch of salt. Alpina have to be careful not to upset BMW and usurp the M6 so they underrate engine power by 10% in all their publicity. I went to their factory, saw the engine on the dyno and witnessed the results.

B5 vs Gallardo (two runs):
B5 vs Dodge Viper:

The B6 is even quicker than the B5 '10 Range Rover Sport TDV8

United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Santorini Black

For what it's worth guys

I went from RRS S/C to a new BMW 335d the power and balance of the car blow me away not to mention the MPG! But after only 6 months the hard ride, build quality and the blandness inside the car along with the lack of toys got to me so I sold it!

I now have the new shape Audi A8 4.2 TDI Quattro with the new 8 speed box 0 to 60 in 5.5 top speed of 155mpg all the toys keyless etc... etc better than TDV6 mpg all round lovely car! Not had a problem with it in my 6 months of ownership faultless car! Air suspension means it can be driven in comfort or sports mode

Not had a Merc so can’t comment on them?

All said & done I'm heading back to another RRS in under a year of last owning one!! Bow down Cheers Laurence.

AMG over a BMW any day, but then I am biased; I've owned three!
