LAND ROVER
Model: DISCOVERY 3
0-60 in: 8 seconds
Top speed: 121mph
Cost: £26,995 - £48,495
Info:
Astounding ability off-road, and vastly improved for on road duty. Unique character has also been successfully updated.
No question about it, Land Rover has created one of the most desirable off-roaders on sale with the new Discovery. Nothing will beat it off-road, and with vastly improved space and on-road manners, the Disco really rocks.
The Disco's wheelbase has been stretched by a big 335mm, so there's loads more space inside. But with its shorter rear overhang, the overall length of the new car is up by just 130mm. And for the first time, the Discovery is a true seven-seater, with the third row capacious enough for adults to travel in reasonable comfort.

Featuring the largest engine among the cars on this site, and one of the largest to be fitted in a production car ever, an 8.0lt unit producing more than 400bhp and a much more impressive amount of torque (662Nm).
The Viper has been praised for its direct race car feel and it surely is not a game to play with. How, anyway could a car with more than 400 bhp driving the rear wheels only and without any type of electronic help be a game to play with?
