About the Discovery - LR3 4.4 V8 305

The 2004 Land Rover Discovery - LR3 4.4 V8 305 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 2,629 kg with 300 bhp, which works out at 114 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.48 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 5,980th quickest to 60 mph, and the 25th quickest of the 86 Land Rovers here. It leaves better than it pulls: 85.7 mph at the lights is only the 6,956th 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.

15.97 s at 85.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.24 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.48 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Land Rover Discovery - LR3 4.4 V8 305 have?
300 bhp and 2,629 kg, which is 114 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 195 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Land Rover Discovery - LR3 4.4 V8 305?
Closest here on pace: Mazda CX-60 Skyactiv-D 200 (7.72 s), Ford C-Max 2.0 TDCi 170 (7.65 s), Pontiac Torrent 3.4 V6 185 (7.68 s). Each one can be raced against the Land Rover Discovery - LR3 4.4 V8 305 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Land Rover Discovery - LR3 4.4 V8 305 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
