2012 Supercharged Range Rover goes into Pimp Mode

Consider this initial post a place holder as later this morning I intend to get real pics vs. cell pics.

 

All I can say is DAMN! this thing is nice. It's a 2012 with only 35k on the odometer and while I have no idea what it sold for, I can say it's likely worth it. HUGE power, ultra luxurious, quiet like a coffin and this exact one inside looks just like new. This is what my wife and I should move into as our replacement for the minivan now that the kids are older. Definitely on my list of shopping now.

 

Came to me as a referral from a previous customer and swirled to death. The owner tries to keep it clean but the wheels/brake dust are a huge issue. The fronts aren't just dirty, what's shown is etched into the clearn on the wheels - or at least was. PIA to clean up but they did so very nicely. More to come on that.

 

Until then, this baby is now a true black metallic and sparkles like a clear summer sky. Very cool metallic that is hard to capture in a way that shows it's true beauty.

 

100% correction achieved and sealed up with two coats of Ceramic Coating to protect her day-forward. Look for more / updated pics later today.

Beautiful Paint that is remarkably clear: Better be for the money right?

I love the flake. Hopefully today's weather is nice and allows me to capture it better.

Stay tuned for a real beauty. Definitely a great ride.

Beautiful (no surprise). What model is that?

 

Thank you sir! Supercharged Discovery. IIRC the next model up is the Discovery Sport. I don't know for sure though. Been reading about them and so far it seems they are plagued with reliability issues thus unless it has warranty I'd steer clear. That said, this one is still pimp and super nice.

Are you sure that is a discovery Tim? Looks like a Third gen Range Rover to me (FYI Land Rover is the company, Range Rover is a Model). The supercharged ones used the same engine as the jaguar XJR and XKR.

It's a Range Rover , the discovery is a separate model than the Range Rover

 

Range Rover trims are also the sport and evoque

 

There is separate model that includes the discovery and discovery sport

bang, you are dead.

 

Not that you take customer's cars on rides or anything but the supercharged disco is 340 hp, the supercharged Range Rover is 510 hp. Just saying, it's a bit of a beast.
