Land Rover Range Rover Sport 4.2 V8 SC 390

The Land Rover Range Rover Sport 4.2 V8 SC 390 reaches 60 mph in 6.80 s (100 km/h in 7.24 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.29 s, tripping the lights at 89.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.27 s and the eighth mile in 9.75 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Range Rover Sport 4.2 V8 SC 390

The 2005 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 4.2 V8 SC 390 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged SUV of 2,572 kg with 390 bhp, which works out at 152 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.27 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 4,328th quickest to 60 mph, and the 15th quickest of the 86 Land Rovers here. It leaves better than it pulls: 89.5 mph at the lights is only the 5,349th 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.

Questions

What is the Land Rover Range Rover Sport 4.2 V8 SC 390 0-60 time?
The Land Rover Range Rover Sport 4.2 V8 SC 390 reaches 60 mph in 6.80 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,328th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Land Rover Range Rover Sport 4.2 V8 SC 390 quarter mile time?
15.29 s at 89.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.75 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.27 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Land Rover Range Rover Sport 4.2 V8 SC 390 have?
390 bhp and 2,572 kg, which is 152 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 225 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Land Rover Range Rover Sport 4.2 V8 SC 390?
Closest here on pace: Chrysler Aspen 5.7 V8 2WD 335 (6.77 s), Audi Q7 4.2 FSI Mk I (6.88 s), Lexus LX 570 V8 383 (6.76 s). Each one can be raced against the Land Rover Range Rover Sport 4.2 V8 SC 390 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 Sport 4.2 V8 SC 390 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.
