    Yes i agree, the wheels, even though 20's fill the arches nicely, due too the chunkiness and width of the tyres.

    Had they been normal road tyres, they would have still looked too small on the car.

    Plus i love the pattern of the wheel and the orange " inserts/highlights" on them Thumbs Up

    2017 Discovery Si6 HSE Lux Montalcino Red

    Up close in Frankfurt

    Interior basically the same bar the shifter

    Wheels well tyres had show specials on with orange X in the tread Rolling with laughter

    Proper front recovery point

    Rear Winch with syth rope NO Towing ability via deployable way

    To the idiots who say no snorkel it floats if you go much deeper than the 900mm Shocked

    Light Pod with the anti reflection (Read Matt) bonnet is good but looks like a aftermarket add on

    Roof Rails way better than the normal ones Thumbs Up

    Yes i forget too mention the price - am guessing £85k - £90 in basic form ??

    With all the fancy accessories probably £100k + ??

    I would rather have an RR Sport SVR for that price if am honest. Laughing


    I would be amazed if this is less than £100k given the other prices. Had a factory tour at SVO and they mentioned the average "customisation" spend on top of the base model(s) was £65k, albeit then it was FFRR and RRS and this is a different beast but I still think the target market is "more money than sense" rather than people who need utility.

    I agree Neil, i think its a bit of both too be honest.

    Shows what a proper 4x4 is capable off, and also a good way too increase profit margins, especially from those with deep pockets.

    Also bragging rights down the pub with who has the ULTIMATE D5 Thumbs Up

    They will still have to read out their SMS's themselves though unlike J77 so he will have the ultimate bragging rights.

    They'll have the sound of a V8 to listen to. All I'll have is some bimbo reading a text message to me Laughing

    But I do agree on price, I think this will be the first Disco to hit £100k

    I sent a PM to Dan@duckworths, he says it shouldn't be a problem to get hold of them once the SVX is on sale.
