That’s coz it would go too fast for roof stuff. Thumbs Up Plus Gerry doesn’t think it’s cool carrying stuff up there. Whistle

Waitrose deliver or get the nanny to pick up the shopping in the Evoque.

Seriously though, I can't imagine that option would be chosen by many potential buyers but why is it not possible to specify? WARNING.

As Simon says, literally you can ship your own personal vehicle on a RORO for about 1000-1400 quid.. so a manufacturer
shipping in bulk would mean even lower. If I spec my vehicle in the US it comes out at about $94K AUD, over here it is
a $135K AUD and that is even with corporate discount.. remove the discount and it is nearer to $150K AUD.. as i say the
local aussie market is a rip off in terms of how much the manufacturers hammer you..even taking into account government
charges

Hello from sunny downtown Melbourne.
So what d'you reckon a nicely optioned 90 V8 supercharged would cost us here in Aussie?

Pickles i doubt you would have any change on one within the region of $200K i suspect .. hopefully i am
misguided and have totally missed LR's intent for the local market with the V8 Smile

Look at the price of the RRS Supercharged on the Aussie configurator.. eye watering Big Cry yet another pommie bar steward down under

here you go, stolen off the book of faces, so not sure how accurate, but you need to add on road and govt charges to
the numbers.. assume you would have to sell both kidneys Laughing

Too expensive for an off road vehicle imo rich mans toy. Best models are the diesels, the D300 has more torque than the V8 but that doesn’t get a mention anywhere.

I could have sold a 110 V8 at home if it were circa $160k... got buckley's at $200k

Possibly also not calibrated, or cabable of being calibrated for drift mode. Drift mode ~ are they serious:

"Land Rover engineers brag this is the first Defender you can drift. And I don’t just mean theoretically. Land Rover spent most of the media introduction video going through — in technical detail — exactly how the 2022 Defender V8 can maintain a drift. I won’t attempt to recreate the technical dissertation. But suffice it to say technology enables this V8-powered Defender to drift with ease."

Where is a normal punter, even with the money to purchase one of these, going to be able to do that. On the public roads?

^^^ More to the point, why do LR consider this important for their most capable ‘off-road’ vehicle? Why have they spent money on achieving this? Yet again this highlights the brands desire to move LR away from its roots. If you want to ‘drift’ a V8 from the JLR stable you choose a F-Type. If you want to drive in luxury you choose a XR or FFRR. If you want to off road you choose a Defender. Blending all three is just nonsense. Utter nonsense. Big Cry Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....
