SophiaJack Posted Wednesday at 05:41 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:41 AM The Grenadier wants to be the spiritual successor to the old Land Rovers. We all have knocked back a pint at the local bar while mulling how to build a better car than the one in our driveway. Daydreaming about perfecting cars is universal, but Jim Ratcliffe takes it more seriously than most. He's the British billionaire who tried to buy the tooling for the Land Rover Defender (the old one, not the new one) so he could update it to meet modern regulations. When Land Rover passed, he did the costliest "Hold my beer" we've ever heard of and created the Ineos Grenadier. It looks familiar. From some angles, the body-on-frame Ineos is all Defender 110 (again, the old one). From others, it screams G-wagen louder than an influencer when asked, "What's the first thing you're gonna buy with all that YouTube money?" The Grenadier has a 115.0-inch wheelbase, five seats, and, in Fieldmaster trim, two standard safari windows that can vent open or be removed, should you want to eliminate the security that glass offers while you take in Serengeti wildlife. The base version of the Grenadier starts at $73,100, less than half the starting price of a Mercedes-Benz G550 and about 10 grand more than the least costly new Defender 110. The exterior of the Fieldmaster trim we borrowed sports small graphics inspired by three flags: a Union Jack for obvious reasons, a German flag for the "engineering rigor" it claims to have, and a French flag for its assembly home in Hambach (depending on when your geography book was printed, that could be a French or a German city). Bolted between the front fenders, which will support a standing adult, is a BMW 3.0-liter inline-six connected to a ZF eight-speed automatic. The turbocharged engine is good for 281 horsepower, and the powertrain earns exceptional marks for smoothness and refinement. It'll pull the 5901-pound SUV to 60 mph in 7.3 seconds and hit a governed 102-mph top speed. The 1993 North America–spec Defender 110 lumbered to 60 mph in 12.3 seconds on its way to a max of 89 mph. An inline-six Defender 110 (the contemporary one) finds 60 in 6.3 seconds, while the new Toyota Land Cruiser is nearly a half-second behind. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/renotalkfr/how-to-pass-the-hitachi-hqt-6711-certification-exa-t246501.html https://public.tableau.com/views/IBMCertifiedAdministratorC1000-130ExamQuestionsandAnswers/Sheet1?:language=en-US&:sid=&:redirect=auth&:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link https://colab.research.google.com/drive/15LKZ9V2x6yCthCze5dRWlZMlVEuwS3TJ?usp=drive_link Straight-line acceleration hardly defines this segment. With stubby overhangs and the departure angle of an F-22 Raptor with its afterburner lit, the Grenadier is designed to excel when the pavement ends. https://bravado.co/war-room/posts/how-many-questions-are-on-the-vmware-3v0-21-23-exam/ https://codoc.jp/sites/n8VDhxhTRA/entries/Fvp2raHNuQ https://www.ourboox.com/bp/1648160/ Live axles provide the durable traction off-roaders love, and a ground clearance of over 10 inches gives the go-ahead to clomp down most any two-track. The on-road ride is neither exceptional nor brutal. https://dsta.sh/t9Vfv5FxbyAyW6oE9 https://medium.com/@charlieoscar761/how-hard-is-the-comptia-pentest-pt0-002-certification-using-pdf-dumps-be325b7d2e36 A score of 517 on the ramp travel index (RTI) puts the Grenadier well below the new Land Cruiser's 634 but above the Defender 130's 331. Not that front and rear locking differentials would help in the RTI articulation game, but they are available as part of a $2850 Rough pack, which also includes BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires. https://velog.io/@sophiajack/What-is-the-passing-score-for-the-ISTQB-CTAL-TM-Exam https://findaspring.org/members/raquelmorio/ https://posteezy.com/how-pass-iso-27001-lead-auditor-exam Far less aggressive Bridgestones still sing a boisterous tarmac tune, contributing to 73 decibels in the cabin at 70 mph. Both the Land Cruiser and the Defender 130 are better here, with a comparably subdued 68 and 67 decibels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
