| 2011 Land Rover Discovery 4 Armoured |
Now you might have seen the Knight XV, or "Canada's answer to the motoring industry" (Jeremy Clarkson), but you'll want to go into law when I tell you about this car. It may look like a regular Land Rover LR4, but trust me when I say that it isn't. Let me first give you some performance details on this car. It has a 5.0-liter 375 horsepower V8 engine. 0 to 60 is reached in a whopping 10.6 seconds. It's top speed is a 112 MPH. Sounds slow, doesn't it? The original LR4 can get from 0 to 60 in about 7 seconds, so this is definitely slow. The thing is though, it has to be since it will be carrying diplomats. This special Land Rover LR4 has taken on a lot of weight (1,100 added pounds to be exact) and this is all added steel, bulletproof doors, titanium-strong wheels, and bigger brakes. This all adds to the total weight which is now about 4 tons (7,800 lbs.). The output: it can withstand rapid gunfire for about 2 hours. Not only that. It will survive 33 lbs. of explosive dynamite. Its fuel tank is thick enough to survive any grenade explosives. So basically, this isn't an SUV anymore. It's a tank, a British tank. It will only be sold in the UK and only to very wealthy or important people. But, look on the bright side. Now you know what exactly Land Rover is capable of doing.
