Land Rover and Terry Grant smashed a world record at this week’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, with a two-wheel speed run in the new Range Rover Sport SVR.
Terry’s 2:24.5 run up the famous hillclimb broke his own record for a mile travelled in a car on two wheels, set in 2011. The stunt driver flipped the Range Rover Sport SVR up on to two wheels with a ramp, before hitting speeds of up 60mph on Goodwood’s hillclimb as he set the new world record time.
The Range Rover Sport SVR is a 575hp performance SUV, capable of 0-60mph in 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 174mph – with four wheels on the road, at least
It only required one modification for the world record run, a tweak to its differential to allow the car to deliver more power to the two wheels on the ground
