But what if you have a different car entirely, which goes very fast, and you still want to go properly fast in your LR? Are we allowed to buy a P400 then?

I know the P300 and P400 can have the same off-road capabilities but can they both climb a steep hill? I would think that's where you will need the extra horses.

Slight differences?

Given the gearing available in both versions, I cannot conceive of any offroad situation, hill or otherwise, where the P400 would succeed and the P300 wouldn’t, based on their respective torques. Traction will be lost way, way, way before you reach the P300’s torque limit.

Does it have the same torque?

this can’t possibly be a serious question.

Then I bet if you checked that Internet we’ve all heard so much about you might find the answer to that serious question.

cheers!
