The 2017 Land Rover Discovery 3.0 V6 TD6 258 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel SUV of 2,298 kg with 255 bhp, which works out at 111 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.16 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,914th quickest to 60 mph, and the 19th quickest of the 86 Land Rovers here. It leaves better than it pulls: 86.2 mph at the lights is only the 6,745th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.
