Here's The New Land Rover Discovery Lapping The Nurburgring For Some Reason
What’s particularly surprising about this video is that the incoming new Discovery looks fairly comfortable on the Nordschleife. Sure, the tyres are clearly experiencing a sadistic form of torture judging by the prolific squealing, but the fifth-gen Disco certainly isn’t flopping around like you might expect.
It’s underpinned by a new, Range Rover-derived monocoque chassis, replacing the ancient ladder setup used by all Discoveries before it. This will cut the weight considerably in comparison to the bulky Discovery 4. Looks-wise, judging by spy shots we’ve seen of the car wearing much lighter camouflage, we can expect something which looks like an enlarged Discovery Sport.

It looks like the front half is an Evoque and the rear half is a f**king van i hate it its hideous
I don’t know why, but it looks like a Pajero for some reason..
Imagine the conversation in the office:
-John, haven’t I told You a story about my grandfather doing the lap at Nurburgring somewhere around 1945 in a tank?
-Well that is a great idea, but we don’t have a tank.
-Yes, but we have new disco that weights almost the same.
Found the reason why they did that
Next weeks weeks title: Here’s the new Reliant Robin lapping the Nurburgring for some reason.
