Lets be honest the RRS is a great shape - But I would welcome a stripped out Supercharged without half the toys that you dont really need or use!!! = A CHEAPER TOY

NO Satnav - cheaper more versatile portable/mobile ones around now

NO Adaptive cruise control - In the UK - everyday use = useless

Cheaper headlights - Halogen ?

No heated front windscreen/seats/washer jets

Simple bluetooth handsfree phone intergrated kit

Who needs PDC - cut the cost


Get the picture - lighter in weight & cheaper

But I must admit they could have made a beter job of the lower rear valance & incorporated a more flush/ better custom fit exhaust

I saw the link/thread earlier Tim & the TopGear video clip ( cool ) But what I'm thinking of is a more in keeping road version.

ie. The RRS is a great shape. However what about a lightweight 2door version - doesnt even need to be that sophisticated for total off road use ( this could be part of the options list )

Something that would totally blow the Porky Pig away - but still retain the looks/merits of the full blown RRS.

Simply because of the nature of the Supercharged & its pretty 20" alloys - I wont take mine offroad ( fear of damage/cost ) I bet most owners are the same?

If thats the case - then I bet there is possibly a large market out there for something of this ilk?

I suppose = a real world Range Stormer

Went in today to have all the work sorted

Called them at about 4ish and he told me that it's still in the work shop and i should have it back later on today. Then get a call back at 5 saying that they need the car over night and that they are having problem with the suspension so i hope it will bee tomorrow  RRS TDV6 Gone but still around

MDP - I agree totally but I suspect the problem is that this would probably be a niche model (Similar in priciple to the Pug Rallye models) but flies in the face of LR ethos really.

I would imagine the core of LR buying profile buy them for refinement/adequate performance/serious off road ability.

Whilst a 'Stripped out racer' may appeal to us, just how many units would they shift?

Love it or loathe it, the Pig-faced-Porker offers performance, handling, roadholding, refinement and toys all in one. Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

Why buy a large 4x4 if you don't want off road performance?? LR should never make a car that is not capable off road. If you want stripped out speed focused performance why buy a LR, lets face it you wouldn't buy a Kia if you wanted a luxury car. Making a lower spec SC doesn't really make much sense either, why spend £50K (what it would still cost) and not get Sat Nav and all the rest.

I would say Tims idea of a Bowler would be more sensible, if luxuries were not your thing!
