It has always been a tradition of Land Rover to do all kinds of extreme challenges, from the era of TV commercials to the era of online communication, it has never stopped. In the past few days, Land Rover has opened a "snow racing journey" in the Winter Olympics ski resort Chongli, the main model is just listed in the Guangzhou Auto Show 24 Range Rover Sport, on the towering wet slopes, Range Rover Sport gallops down, drifting down the mountain and swings the tail, these high-energy scenes have been recorded by local tourists one by one, uploaded to social platforms, people are sighing, Land Rover is Land Rover after all, irreplaceable.
Why is there such a feeling, because in the public's field of vision, whether it is Land Rover, Range Rover, or Range Rover Sport, it is almost synonymous with off-road SUVs. In the case of Range Rover Sport, its product history has been run through countless extreme challenges, and more importantly, in the history of these famous challenges, the models of Range Rover Sport are all production models, not performance models that are specially enhanced for competition or challenges, this kind of confidence and confidence is not shared by everyone.
Since the launch of the Range Rover Sport, the theme is different and the scene is completely different, which not only allows users around the world to have a more immersive experience, but also shows the performance of the product in different scenarios.
For example, the 2013 Pikes Peak Challenge is all about climbing performance. Pikes Peak in the United States is known for its high altitude of 4,300 meters and its high drop of 1,440 meters. And the Range Rover Sport is priced at 5917 mph average speed in 12 minutes 3561 seconds to successfully conquer up to 12The 42-mile climb course set a new climbing record for a production SUV.
In the same year, Range Rover Sport did the Rub Khali Desert Challenge, which is a testament to desert adaptability. With a distance of 800 kilometers and a time of 10 hours and 22 minutes, it traversed the world's largest mobile desert, setting a new speed record.
In 2017, Range Rover Sport took on the Alpine downhill ski course in Mürren, Switzerland, demonstrating its ability to pass through snow and ice. From the top of the 3,000-metre mountain, you'll climb through gravel and ice, narrow slopes and a 2,170-metre altitude difference to complete the ultimate challenge on the downhill Alpine course.
After that, there is the most well-known "Tianmen Mountain Challenge", where the racer drove the Range Rover Sport directly to the 999 steps, and achieved great success in publicity in just ten seconds, which should also be the most intuitive feeling of ordinary people for the extreme challenge.
The recent expedition to the Icelandic floodway tested the ability to wade through the water. There are at least three key points in this extreme challenge, the first is to rush from the tunnel at the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, which is a very narrow and very slippery passage with obstacles in between, and the speed must be fast. The second is the gravel slope that looks very bad at the angle of inclination, and it can hardly be called a "road". Finally, Jessica Hawkins descended from bottom to top through flooded riverbeds, concrete tunnels and rock dams with a 40-degree inclination angle, and the water poured down the 294-metre-long, 90-metre-high spillway as it tried, but the result was a success.
