Dear Op,
Thank you fie your car 'reviews', but as a previous car magazine creative head, I find the reviews not to be reviews, but majorly OEM specs.

A review should be the result of tests carried out on the OEM specifications to adjudge if its indeed true.

What does iVTEC add to the driving experience compared to vTTI?

Tell us the benefits of all those technical terms the OEM gave us that you have also posted back to us.

If not too much a bother, check Top Gear Car Test Review, or better still, Comparison between similar Cars.

How will the Governor see the suffering of the masses when he's busy watching Africa Magic inside.

He might just be lucky, and survive an aeroplane crash. Remember our Governor that decided to fly his helicopter? He crashed it, survived it and still returned a Governor (albeit in the background).......

U prolly don't understand me..when it's his appointed time...even 'luck' won't come his way.

Yea, so he should then decide to risk his life and die when it is not the appointed time abi? We know everyone dies someday, but u need to protect urself. Or why do u lock ur doors when u go to sleep, after all God is the one watching over all of us so whether u lock ur door or not what will happen will happen.

I understand ur point...but the issue here has to do with how far they go...trying to protect their lives...I believe it's just an excuse to embezzle money...are u telling me he still doesn't feel safe and secure in the bmw? I don't see a need for this ride...it can't stop an angel of death..I just believe they(politicians) go too far...tryna protect themselves from death.

AutoReportNG2:
Sequel to our first post of Armored BMW 760Li the official car of Lagos Governor (Here: https://www.nairaland.com/3638935/ored-bmw-760li-official-beast) , we probed further, and we found that there is more of the governor's fleet. Lagos is a place where security of lives and properties are government's number goal. The LASG launched the security trust fund so that well meaning Nigerians and corporate organizations can partake in it. For a government that takes security as its priority, its quite expedient the number one man in the state is highly secured and put in the best facilities so far. We will be reviewing the governor's second beast, as Nigerians say, this is more badder... Welcome to the world of Range Rover Sentinel.

Introduction

For the customer whose daily routine involves the threat of being shot at or bombed, but whose taste doesn't run to presidential limousines, the new Range Rover Sentinel might just fit the bill. Though other Range Rovers have been modified by third party firms, this is the first armored Land Rover to be fully engineered in-house by the company's Special Vehicle Operations division.

Model/Specification

The Range Rover Sentinel is built at Land Rover's Oxford Road facility and is based on a standard wheelbase Range Rover Autobiography. In fact, to the casual eye, it looks almost identical. However, underneath the enamel there's a steel-plated armored passenger cell and windows of optical-quality multi-laminated armor privacy glass with a 100 mm (3.9 in) opening in the driver's window for passing documents and very small takeaway orders.

The Sentinel is certified to VR8 standard against ballistic threats by QinetiQ, which means it can withstand 7.62 mm high-velocity, armor-piercing incendiary rounds, 15 kg (33 lb) TNT explosions, and DM51 grenades going off both beneath the floor and on the roof. In addition, there's an anti-tamper exhaust, a self-sealing fuel tank, and an auxiliary back-up battery with a split charging system.

Specs

Under the bonnet, the Sentinel sports a 340 bhp, 3-liter V6 supercharged petrol engine with a specially-calibrated ZF 8-speed gearbox, as well as revised Dynamic Stability Control and Ride Stability Control systems that provide the vehicle with the same off-road capabilities as a production Range Rover. This is partly to provide a better chance of escaping in an emergency, but also to address the fact that the owners of such high-security vehicles like to drive them and prefer little or no loss of performance.

In the event of an attack, the special 20-in (50.8-cm) split-rim alloy wheels have run-flat tires as well as 380 mm front and 365 mm rear ventilated disc brakes with high-density pads. If the doors are blocked, there's an emergency escape system behind the rear seats.

The Range Rover Sentinel makes its world debut at the Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) Exhibition at London's ExCeL arena, which runs from September 15 to 18. It's set to go on sale in the UK, Europe, South America, Africa, and the Middle East for €400,000 (US$446,000), with orders being taken this month.

[quote author=fkj950ax post=53942109][/quote]

Thanks for your observation, but let me ask you, If the OP decides to go the extra length and do all these, will you read it? I think we are quick to criticize, abuse and call names without studying trends. According to research, Nigerians did not have time to read a long post, so any post must be concise, precise and straight to the point, once you start talking stories, it becomes annoying and people loose interest. As much as we are new to reviews in Nigeria, we have to take it one step at a time and not to rush it over else you will be reading something like, and you expect me to read all these?

Wisdom is profitable to direct.

Thank you

As much as I'm for safety and security, a country were more than 60% of her population live below poverty line can not afford a govonor ridding a $450000 car. We need to get our priority straight, insecurity and poverty are directly proportional, if we reduce poverty insecurity will ultimately reduce, when insecurity reduces cost of security reduces.
