i got a limited edition land rover 3 gs. only 250 ever made. theyre so capable, i took a friends freelander up a vertical slope at full revs - 3 metres height. they got great looking centre console, great big yellow hill descent conrol, hi and low traction, ride height control, and settings for different surface conditions - rocks, snow, sand etc.
love the way the trees & grass are all leaning to the right. Certainly gives the effect of the hill being steeper than it actually is. Even our much loved Rangy's can't defy physics..
I have 2 words to say: The Louvre! Only vehicle EVER to be there. Meaning, it's a MASTERPIECE. Don't start bashing me. I am an American and I live in TX.... but, I love my Rover. My best friend, a former milt. man, told me how they used to use Rovers to pull out tanks.I didn't believe him until I bought one... they are ridiculously "un-stuckable". If you can afford one, GET ONE...If you don't care about scratches on your paint job, you will have the time of your life. Find new paths!!
Attempting to use the HDC on a descent like that would cause a massive accident! I find it actually works better in reverse, when the car can no longer climb something as reverse gear is lower. They really are fantasticly able cars! Im still a big P38 fan myself but really fancy a TDV8.
I think the most surprising thing is that they still retained oil pressure. That's a very, very sharp angle, and I'd think that all the oil would have gone to the front of the sump when they were descending!
amazing - I work for Land Rover and these vehicles really are the best in class - trust me just try one and you'll see - they really can undertake some amazing activities.
This is friggin nuts...im pretty sure it was all for real...man i would never do all this insanity if i had a RR sport. But i guess the deflated tires really did the trick! :)
Hi - where possible I would say get the 04 year onwards as that's when the Disco 3 came out. An all new design with improvements were made to quality and durability with electronic off-roading aids designed to help get the car further than others and out of even the deepest ruts.
If that's not a camera trick, then I am impressed. Not that I think Range Rovers are the only trucks that could do that, but the driver obviously has some skill (and balls too!)
I myself do not own a Landrover, but have seen what they can do when being tested at the factory where they are built in Solihull, England, and I find it hard to believe what these vehicles can do even now, buts thats why they are the best 4x4 by far
How can you say this is fake? Have you been there? Obviously you havent. I went to Africa last year with some friends. We started north and traveled south. In South Africa we rented a Toyota land cruiser, and went there. Believe me this is not fake. Its truly amazing what this kind of vehicles can do. THIS IS NOT FAKE!
For those sceptics, and those who apparently have no idea of the capabilities of a decent 4x4, this is very possible. I own a Land Rover and have been up and down stuff steeper than the recommended 45 degrees, don't get me wrong it's bloody scary but fantastic!
if you are looking for more tires sizes I have just purchased a set of Cooper Discovrer 255/55/18 m/s. really aggresive for the size, soft compound for mud and rocks/snow, I dont think they will have a long street life, im hoping for 2 yrs, paid $800 for 4. I put them on my 2003 Disco, cant wait for spring thaw. Thought I would throw that at ya as a Rover lover its been tough to find a set of tires without lifting or suspension mods. Again Great vid, East Coast Canada
That's steeper than 45 degrees. But I've noticed there are quite a few videos of this hill on youtube, with various vehicles doing it. It really is steep!
it's called tilting the camera to the side to make it look steeper. Still it is impressive but not as impressive as it may seem. Take note of the trees that don't seem to grow straight up.
have checked and yes i stand corrected, do alot of 4x4ing here in australia and friends always tilt the angle to make it that little bit more extreme. Good day to you sir. . . anybody want a peanut
I've studied this video carefully using background terrain, trees, the girl etc to check for the actual steepness of the slope and while the camera man may have slightly tilted the camera (probably without realizing) it is minimal and can confirm this is one hell of a slope! Not a fake. I offroad all the time in the military with a truck utility medium or TUM 110 (defender 110 with some modifications) n I've been down some slopes like this n I tell, I had my arse puckered all the way down.
in theory but if one of the weel slip too much before the tc kicks in its very possible to go sliding backsward,the superchager would increace though chances.
@mxcoburn1 - so you say the camera is tilted ? so.... you mean to say that all the trees in the background are growing at the same tilted angle then huh? cos the kinda look upright in the frame......to me.
@12jjfs123 Look at the trees. They are upright. Look at the front wheels upon ascend, it made inches of air and a sudden step on the gas could have flipped the car on its back. Look at what the gravity did to the car upon descend. The wheels locked but the car was still moving.
Wow, What is the suspension doing to to make the car grip to the 70 degree gradient when the car is stationary, that's pretty amazing technology! I bet a handbrake wouldn't even hold it at those angles! Impressive gradient but also camera operator is doing a less impressive job keeping the camera level!
impressive... no mercedes,jeep,toyota or any other brand that has an suv with offroad capabilities cant beat a range rover offroad.... and its also very luxurious and has good performance.
I do appreciate the Range Rover, however this video does have some distorted camera angles. This is a very famous climb, and never have I seen this angle before. Check out the other accents on you tube. Either way, props to the driver and the rig.
Bella prova buono il sistema di controllo della trazione e un ottimo suolo con molto grip..anche se io preferisco piu i defender e lo stesso questo mostra la durezza dei Land..
it would be more believable if filmed from the bottom of the hill. a car just parked at such an angle will most likely slide unless there was a ship anchor holding it or had spiked tyres. how did you also maintain such a steady shot out on the bush while descending such a steep hill.?
This car weight more than 2t (or about 2t) . With that mass and the slope like in the video, the car would slid down, for sure. probably, the camera has been rotated :)
The TDV8 is available here (OZ) too. Has been available for well over 18 months. They are superb engines - it's a real shame they won't put them in the Disco 3 / LR3. My TDV6 is awesome, but the 3.6L 200kW TDV8 pumping out a monster 640Nm of torque is a phenomenal engine for a 4x4.
Yes they cut to a new scene as they come off the slope as they are showing the approach angle. I am a professional filmographer and if you look at the tree trunk on the RHS in the distance at 1:40 you will see how vertical it is confirming the angle of the slope is true. Also if you look at the angle of the slope compared to the ground you will see they are about 45 degress.
Do'nt forget turning all the trees in the background, too! ;)
Nice Terrain-Response-System
LMAO.. trees don't grow like that on a gradient
@markssite trees always point straight up so if look trees angle opposed the truck its clear the range rover is beast and it does work.

Thanks for that. You learn something new everyday. We get limited versions of most European cars in OZ. Magic the way it climbs that hill.
love the way the trees & grass are all leaning to the right. Certainly gives the effect of the hill being steeper than it actually is. Even our much loved Rangy's can't defy physics..

Yo pensé también bajarla en reversa no estoy mal yeaaaa
DAAAMMMMMMNNNNNN Thats almost straight up and it does it with out problem not many people use range rover sports like that....respect big time
I think the most surprising thing is that they still retained oil pressure. That's a very, very sharp angle, and I'd think that all the oil would have gone to the front of the sump when they were descending!
they designed an oil system with extreme angles in mind.
amazing - I work for Land Rover and these vehicles really are the best in class - trust me just try one and you'll see - they really can undertake some amazing activities.
Extra ordinary Mind-blowing ❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I admit that I love this car , but the driver is way above it ..
Very good driver
wish him all the best :)
This is friggin nuts...im pretty sure it was all for real...man i would never do all this insanity if i had a RR sport. But i guess the deflated tires really did the trick! :)
@Zeemisch It does look like that, but all the trees are still growing vertically.. pretty damn impressive...
WE done all that at Land Rovers Solihull Plant , The Rovers didnt even break into a sweat
Hi - where possible I would say get the 04 year onwards as that's when the Disco 3 came out. An all new design with improvements were made to quality and durability with electronic off-roading aids designed to help get the car further than others and out of even the deepest ruts.
Whatever 4x4 you own you have to admit that this is pretty good!!
just the best !!! no one is better than RR sport
Awesome.
First I think the camera was tilted, but it seems like it wasn't.
Great Range Rover!
fantastic !!!!!!!!!!! amazing driving mate ...
If that's not a camera trick, then I am impressed. Not that I think Range Rovers are the only trucks that could do that, but the driver obviously has some skill (and balls too!)
I'm a photographer...from the vertical trees in the background, it looks real
I myself do not own a Landrover, but have seen what they can do when being tested at the factory where they are built in Solihull, England, and I find it hard to believe what these vehicles can do even now, buts thats why they are the best 4x4 by far
its the tdv8 version(diesel v8)but there is allso a superchaged and non-superchaged 4.2l v8 version as well
bats*it nutty! Nice to see someone doing this with proper tyres for once!
How can you say this is fake? Have you been there? Obviously you havent. I went to Africa last year with some friends. We started north and traveled south. In South Africa we rented a Toyota land cruiser, and went there. Believe me this is not fake. Its truly amazing what this kind of vehicles can do. THIS IS NOT FAKE!
I think you have to tilt the phone about 15 degrees to cancel out the camera tilt, but even so....quite something.
this driver is a high class!
Amazing!! 1:22 onwards is pure driving skill...well done mate :)
damn!! thats serious grip from those tires. and one brave driver.. lol.. brilliant.. just wish it wasnt so expensive =(
thats crazy..the way down was hill decent control for sure
dat car n da driver sure has serious skills ,,,,,to drive n to get driven ,,lol awesum dude
Land rovers hill decent control plays a major part when seeing this range rover travelling back down the hill.
Holy Cow!!!! that is the most impressive thing i've ever seen a vehicle do!!!
Just Amazing... Bye bye... I'm off to buy one... : P
i have the highest respect for RR
o so there must be some magical force that lifts the back suspension up
For those sceptics, and those who apparently have no idea of the capabilities of a decent 4x4, this is very possible. I own a Land Rover and have been up and down stuff steeper than the recommended 45 degrees, don't get me wrong it's bloody scary but fantastic!

Wow that's crazy top trucks/suv to buy is the land rover and the nissan terra x off road
it's called tilting the camera to the side to make it look steeper. Still it is impressive but not as impressive as it may seem. Take note of the trees that don't seem to grow straight up.
Great video - it looks like the front left tire is destroyed and flat at 1:53 and 1:58/9. Was it cut perhaps as it slid down the rock face?
have checked and yes i stand corrected, do alot of 4x4ing here in australia and friends always tilt the angle to make it that little bit more extreme. Good day to you sir. . . anybody want a peanut
Thats why I love Range Rover.

not a fan of Range Rovers but that is damn impressive! Great video!
Incredible! Have anybody tried to use the Hill Decent Control on the way down?
On lowest speed of Course!
damn impressive!!! spidercar lol. I thought it would slide on the way down but it almost didn't.
Im going to try that with my rr. Dont know if there are same results with supercharged though.
@12jjfs123
Look at the trees. They are upright. Look at the front wheels upon ascend, it made inches of air and a sudden step on the gas could have flipped the car on its back. Look at what the gravity did to the car upon descend. The wheels locked but the car was still moving.
"spidercar spidercar does whatever a spider can..." amazing.
Simply The Best
Wow, What is the suspension doing to to make the car grip to the 70 degree gradient when the car is stationary, that's pretty amazing technology! I bet a handbrake wouldn't even hold it at those angles! Impressive gradient but also camera operator is doing a less impressive job keeping the camera level!
there is a rear and center locker for them
impressive... no mercedes,jeep,toyota or any other brand that has an suv with offroad capabilities cant beat a range rover offroad.... and its also very luxurious and has good performance.
wow thats insanity, and obviously not fake. What a machine
best engineers in the world, english class!
i agrea,but is the tration control enough to deal with the 390 hp!!!
It must be a camera trick.... sure the slope was steep but cannot me as much !
I do appreciate the Range Rover, however this video does have some distorted camera angles. This is a very famous climb, and never have I seen this angle before. Check out the other accents on you tube. Either way, props to the driver and the rig.
nice way of tippin the camera, look at all the plants, when did they start growing at an angle
the back wheel isn't coming up because of the air suspention sysem that landrover use
Oh shit this is so tense!!! But what a driver yes..even the children are scared!
Bella prova buono il sistema di controllo della trazione e un ottimo suolo con molto grip..anche se io preferisco piu i defender e lo stesso questo mostra la durezza dei Land..
i am thinking of buying one , do you find its pace and acceleration on road adequate ?
What is the angle of that slope? It seems a little too steep...either way, you got balls!
i see trees standing straight up and also look at the suspension pitch, its not fake. torquey low end diesel with low gearing can do this
@Jboone31190 pause it at 1:38 that tree on the right clearly is not pointing straight up...camera tilting.
hi buddy... u work for land rover..?? i m about to buy a land rover discory 03 04 or 05... is it a good choice of years..?? any advice...??
@verasforzza
I know it's a cheap car, But have you driven a Kia Sportage? They're amazing offroad. Light, Quick, And Torque. :D
Where is this rock?
that guy h balls of steel!
it would be more believable if filmed from the bottom of the hill. a car just parked at such an angle will most likely slide unless there was a ship anchor holding it or had spiked tyres. how did you also maintain such a steady shot out on the bush while descending such a steep hill.?
can you take an old 95 sportage on terrain like this? it says its got 4 wheel drive. or would that be suicide? lol
wow ur great man
This car weight more than 2t (or about 2t) . With that mass and the slope like in the video, the car would slid down, for sure. probably, the camera has been rotated :)
how is that possable
that was absolutely crazy. wow
@kennyboyke lol, whats the point of vans and limousines then?
The camera is definitely tilted to some extent. See the tree at 1min 40secs.
@kennyboyke whats the point of SUV's?
@blitteaur99 Yeah.. Cause I saw that thing going up at literally almost 60 degrees on the screen which is literally impossible..
GRANDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is this rel?
it looks like its gonna flip over but yes it's amazing how a vehicle could literally climb a wall!
I ate my words! I was saying to my mate "Come watch this 'burb flip his town car!"
Very nice!
The TDV8 is available here (OZ) too.
Has been available for well over 18 months.
They are superb engines - it's a real shame they won't put them in the Disco 3 / LR3.
My TDV6 is awesome, but the 3.6L 200kW TDV8 pumping out a monster 640Nm of torque is a phenomenal engine for a 4x4.
THIS IS INSANE!
Nice video editing..
adobe after effects is suppose?
Correction, a 4.4 litre V8 diesel...
It is a diesel. A 3 liter v6 diesel
obviously not because look at the trees in the back ground they still look up right so no rotating of the camera
Yes they cut to a new scene as they come off the slope as they are showing the approach angle. I am a professional filmographer and if you look at the tree trunk on the RHS in the distance at 1:40 you will see how vertical it is confirming the angle of the slope is true. Also if you look at the angle of the slope compared to the ground you will see they are about 45 degress.
good tires and a goood car
That's pretty awesome.
Great driving! Stock tires or other? Tire pressure??
That one is the best engine for RR IMO
can the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado do that?
