The sporty next-generation SUV performed a breathtaking trick: it was able to climb the ramp of the Karahnjukar dam and withstand the challenge of a water flow of 750 tons per minute. The loss of traction would have jeopardized the sinking of a dangerous 90-meter slope at the bottom of the dam and all the way to the bottom of the valley.
The successful ascent of the dam was demonstrated for the first time at the exclusive launch event of Jaguar Land Rover at the Advanced Product Development Center in Gaidon, UK. Jessica Hawkins, the official stuntman of James Bond’s character, sat behind the wheel as the new-generation Range Rover Sport demonstrated the car’s grip, handling, performance and undisturbed peace, completing a series of challenges for the sporty relative of the recently introduced Range Rover, Sport.
Previous generations of British SUVs have withstood a number of challenging challenges: they have hit record-breaking Pikes Peak, one of the world’s largest sand deserts in the world, Rub al Khal, also known as the Empty Quarter, in the south of the Arabian Peninsula. China climbed 999 stairs to Tiananmen Gate Mountain in China.
“The next-generation luxury and dynamic Range Rover Sport SUV is the most desirable, technologically advanced and powerful model. It combines many advantages: both a solid appearance and instinctive driving. This is due to the state-of-the-art combination of suspension technology, which has never been used in Land Rover models.
The new Range Rover, launched at the beginning of the year in the Baltics, has already been an exceptional success, so I have no doubt that the Range Rover Sport will follow in its footsteps, ”said Justė Jarušė, Jaguar Land Rover’s Head of Business in the Baltics.
