Land Rover Discovery 4 Armoured

Land Rover has introduced an additional model to its line of armored vehicles: the Land Rover Discovery 4 Armoured. This replaces the off-road Land Rover Discovery 3 by adding capacity to the same road and off road construction and a level of protection to move with the times. The objective of the manufacturer was to obtain the desired levels of resistance without compromising on style and design of the car. The result is armored car that promises to be agile and powerful enough to drive like a traditional Land Rover Discovery.

The bonnet of the new off-road hides a roaring motor-LR 5.0 naturally aspirated V8 petrol. This engine gives the Land Rover Discovery 4 Armoured acceleration levels much higher than the previous model (which used a 2.7 V6): sprint from 0 to 100 km / h takes 10.6 seconds, using the six-speed automatic transmission.

Aesthetically, there are no big differences from the Discovery 4 standard, but the version Armoured has a steel body armor and has other protective equipment that make it able to withstand the detonation of 15 kg of TNT in the immediate vicinity, all ‘explosion of two grenades in the vehicle.

The great power of the new engine is needed to easily move a car that weighs 3,550 kg. Equally important is the installation of special disc brakes Alcon to allow such a mass in motion to stop in time. Tires Goodyear Wrangler HP All Weather enable high speeds even if drilled. The quality of the interior has been improved with the use of leather and wood.
