2018 Range Rover Evoque vs Saracens Star Owen Farrell – Video

Farrell tackled the new high-performance Range Rover Evoque, powered by the new 2.0-litre turbocharged Ingenium petrol engine in an all-terrain bleep test – the ultimate test of endurance. The renowned SUV, with its new 290PS engine, accelerates from 0-60mph in only 6.0 seconds / 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in only 6.3 seconds – making it the fastest sprinting Evoque to date.

At the heart of Jaguar Land Rover’s low-emissions strategy, the new four-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine is now in production at the company’s £1 billion Engine Manufacturing Centre. Designed, engineered and manufactured in the UK, it is one of the most advanced engines the company has ever developed, delivering up to 25 per cent more power than the engines it replaces and offers fuel consumption reductions of up to 15 per cent.

 

 

Farrell completed a bleep test between two fixed points on two different terrains in the unique challenge, gradually increasing the pace to keep time with the ever more frequent bleeps. The international rugby star, who is currently part of The British & Irish Lions on tour in New Zealand this summer, is famous for his uncompromising approach and was up against an equally tough competitor.

Land Rover’s new British-built Ingenium petrol engine is available in two variants in the Range Rover Evoque; 240PS and 290PS. It features a twin-scroll turbocharger for improved performance on the road and low-resistance technologies for an ever more refined drive.
