500 bhp Laguna - jd
Flicking through some road tests on The Indpendent web site and I came across this brief description of the Laguna estate :-


Renault Laguna Sport Tourer 2.0T: £21,645
Supercharged, front-mounted 500bhp V8 makes this a near-dragster, helped by ultra-responsive automatic gearbox, and folding metal roof is neat. Very desirable.


I didn't realise the Laguna was such a powerful motor...... should have got one of this for the same price as my new Outback !

No, it just feels like an uncontrolable 500 bhp because they handle so badly ;-)

That's unfair!

The handling's OK, but sadly they break down before you get to the twisty corners.

2.0T? V? 500HP? Nah not the 2.0T must be a 2.8 or 3.0

500bhp...

That's about 480 more than the chassis can handle!
