About the Range Rover 3.9 V8 185

The 1988 Land Rover Range Rover 3.9 V8 185 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,900 kg with 182 bhp, which works out at 96 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.95 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 10,345th quickest to 60 mph, and the 55th quickest of the 86 Land Rovers here. Its 79.2 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. 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.

Questions

What is the Land Rover Range Rover 3.9 V8 185 0-60 time?

The Land Rover Range Rover 3.9 V8 185 reaches 60 mph in 10.10 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,345th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Land Rover Range Rover 3.9 V8 185 quarter mile time?

17.70 s at 79.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.47 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.95 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Land Rover Range Rover 3.9 V8 185 have?

182 bhp and 1,900 kg, which is 96 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 177 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Land Rover Range Rover 3.9 V8 185?

Closest here on pace: Jeep Wrangler JK 2.8 CRD 177 (10.09 s), Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited Rubicon 2.8 CRD 177 (10.09 s), Hyundai ix35 / Tucson 1.6 GDI 135 (10.11 s). Each one can be raced against the Land Rover Range Rover 3.9 V8 185 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 Range Rover 3.9 V8 185 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
