Have had this test quite a while but thanks TopGearNL! I would like to point out that the dragrace is fake. Overfinch does 0-60mph in 7.1 sec and the Slk 320 does 0-100kmh in 6.5 so no way that the RangeRover would even beat the Slk off the line. I like Clarkson but this is not the only time that he has manipulated a test-result.

Aha, I wonder then if the car isn't the 3,2 V6 or the guy behind the wheel is holding back

Maybe the MB is an auto? And the results you have are with a stick. This is the first time I have seen this. Very cool review. BTW, what was the time on it?
