police range rover

[recycled]

Does anyone know how fast the police range rover goes?
I was doing close to a 100 when a vectra went past me like i was standing still followed seconds after by a range rover police vehicle. it went past me like montoya and it was gone in flash

If its a motorway patrol one , i expect it will be the top of the range one , 4.6 litre or something ....

Probably 140 ish ?

Whereabouts? Was it one of their silver covert ones? I've seen them on the M55 before now - very sneaky

When I read this I thought No way, it would need about 500 BHP for that.

Here's the specs for a new 4.6 auto.

Performance open close

Fuel Delivery Injection
BHP 305.0
Torque (lbs feet) 324.5
RPM to which the Torque refers 4000
Maximum Speed 124
Acceleration (0-60) 8.3

And the 3.6 TD

Performance open close

Fuel Delivery Turbo
BHP 272.0
Torque (lbs feet) 472.0
RPM to which the Torque refers 2000
Maximum Speed 124
Acceleration (0-60) 8.6


Strangely similar in all but fuel consumption.

I took the 3.6 V8 turbodiesel up to Scotland a few weeks back. It will go past125mph, 130-135 is reachable with relative ease.

Gave an average of 25mpg over 1000 miles, more than happy considering the speeds and abuse the car got.
