Back on the road, the big V8 with its four-pipe exhaust made just the right guttural grumble at light throttle inputs and when more was required, the supercharger whined with enthusiasm when the go pedal was pressed. Although the 90 series are two-door models with a reasonably short 101.9-inch wheelbase, the Carpathian weighed in at a robust 5,445 pounds and that offered a feeling of real substance inside. at curb weight was easily offset with plenty of power if you don't mind the 16 MPG combined fuel economy. Inside, occupants are properly seated like royals upon seats upholstered in Ebony Windsor Leather with Miko Suedecloth and Robustec accents and an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel. Don't even think of hosing out this cabin after an off-road journey. Just relax and listen to the lovely Meridian Surround Sound System. @ranchandcoast RANCH & COAST MAGAZINE OCTOBER 2024 115
