Here's The New Land Rover Discovery Lapping The Nurburgring For Some Reason

Nordschleife testing is so prolific these days, that it seems even the likes of the fifth-generation are sent around the Green Hell for evaluation

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.
