2/2 for the Land Rover Defender 90 3.0 400 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Range Rover Sport SVR Mk II facelift or the Land Rover Defender 90 3.0 400 faster?
The Range Rover Sport SVR Mk II facelift. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 12.43 s to the Land Rover Defender 90 3.0 400's 14.00 s, a margin of 1.57 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.90 s against 5.17 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Range Rover Sport SVR Mk II facelift 0-60 time?
The Range Rover Sport SVR Mk II facelift reaches 60 mph in 3.90 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.43 s at 111.8 mph.
What is the Land Rover Defender 90 3.0 400 0-60 time?
The Land Rover Defender 90 3.0 400 reaches 60 mph in 5.17 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.00 s at 95.8 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Range Rover Sport SVR Mk II facelift trips the lights at 111.8 mph and the Land Rover Defender 90 3.0 400 at 95.8 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 10 for the Range Rover Sport SVR Mk II facelift and 2 of 2 for the Land Rover Defender 90 3.0 400. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
