Driving 700 Miles in India in a Range Rover Hybrid Is not as Bad as You'd Think

To demonstrate the capabilities of the new Range Rover Hybrid, Land Rover took three prototypes on a 53-day 10,000-mile expedition from the factory in Solihull, UK, to Mumbai in India where parent company Tata Motors is based.

The carmaker invited journalists along the Silk Trail expedition, with the following video filmed by Auto Express during the last leg – a 700-mile (1,126-km) trip through India.

So how is it like to drive the world’s second most-populous country? According to Mat Watson, you have to keep the eyes wide open as potential hazards can come from virtually anywhere.

Although traffic is chaotic, driving in India in a Range Rover is an interesting experience as you’ll find out from the video posted below.

Damaged Range Rover Sport by Mansory Seems Repairable and Costs Just $25,995

If you don’t mind the extra brashness brought about by the fitting of a Mansory body kit on an already flashy Range Rover Sport, yet you never thought you were going to afford one, well we have news. There’s this damaged example for sale by Land Rover Greenville in South Carolina and they only want $25,995 for it (equal to €19,100).

The vehicle is a 2011 model-year featuring the full exterior makeover that Mansory offers for it, though it needs a bit of attention before it can be put back on the road. At first glance, it seems that the front bumper is damaged and offset, as is the rear – it could have been caught up in the middle of a pileup, since there’s damage on the front and back but minimal or none at all on the sides.

However, the airbags don’t seem to have popped and damaged the custom-stitched red and black interior which looks to be in top shape. We won’t make an estimate as to how much it would cost, but with the very expensive kit fitted, it could be worth it in the end.
