Land Rover did a stunt with the new plug-in Range Rover - they drove it to the top of Heaven’s Gate. 999 steps, and 99 turns.

RIP that suspension.

I suppose the road surface isn’t too unlike the transition between the street and a gallery mall parkade.

That crunch when it reaches the top and gets kinda stuck just hurts.

Or unlike a generic Michigan freeway

Ride looked pretty good, but that air suspension won’t save the linkages

Looks like James May did choose the wrong one.

Exactly. No way a Rover can take that kind of thrashing and be fine.

It would seem that they failed to clear the last stair. Getting permits to go stunting on a historical monument probably did cost quite a lot.

Freeway, side street, Main Street...

Yeah I wondered about that too. If you look at the helicopter shot, it looks like they set up a tire wall due to a left turn, and handrail on the left side. Doesn’t look like the full length would fit on the pad at the top of the stairs.

I can’t believe that the auto industry is in Detroit and we don’t all drive hovercrafts.

“Where’s that ginger PA. Oh there he is. Hey freckles, get me some coffee then back that Land Rover down to the bottom. No you don’t need a helmet!”

Just kidding, I’m guessing a helicopter was involved.
