RE: Range Rover Sport TDV6 (2010) CAR review
I went to a test drive here, in Moscow. As a result - a crash of the car. I have been spinned inside, sitting on a back seat. It was happen on a straight asphalt road, stopping from 120 km/h to 0km/h. Our speed was around 70 km/h when the car just jumped out of road and made a spin to its roof.
I have been very surprised that after the crash noone really paid any attention to me - neither journalist, nor LR/J representatives.
Later, talking to the PR persons of LR/J they said it is normal for their cars - they have a warning sticker inside the cabin saying that the car can actually spin.
So, I would not suggest even to test the car. Here's the result Take care about yourself, and learn with my lesson! I am glad I am survived but now I have problems with my neck.

If the car just "jumped onto its roof" on tarmac and started spinning, then why is there wheel and tyre marks that appear to be from the subject in the photograph right across the soft mud/grass in front

I think he means it left the road and rolled on its roof - his english is better than my russian though  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

It's normal for the RRS to spin and topple over - I think this would have been a freak accident and if there was a problem we would know about it. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

I was involved in an accident in my RRS last summer where I was doing 60 and was forced off the road by another car pulling out, both offside wheels slipped off the tarred road onto a muddy soft verge, the car pulled up straight and very very quickly, like in 3 car lengths. It didn't cause the car to flip or roll and did a lot more damage to the car that pulled out onto me than it did to my RRS. I suspect that RRS put both front wheels off the tar into the soft ground and the sudden change of traction caused it to flip 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

He must have really annoyed whoever was in the front, as they just walked off and left him.

Just putting the wheels onto the grass at speed will not cause an accident on their own.
I was overtaking a tractor at speed last month and the boy driver was messing with his radio at the time which caused him to drift to the right while I was at the side of his trailer!!!!!!!

I had nowhere to go other than the grass verge at speeds in excess of 60mph (I suspect a whole lot more but dont want to show myself in too bad a light...lol), almost had a smelly trouser accident but the car was very 'planted' despite damp grass and ruts while finishing the overtake!

Not sure the outcome would have been the same if I had stamped on the brakes like some fool.
