Muy interesante el enlace. No obstante, no hay que olvidar que si bien "parte velozmente", no lo hace a pie, sino en su todoterreno. Por ende, los rugidos los emite el vehículo, no la persona. Creo que "rugido " debe estar en la traducción porque roar off también aplica la generación de un sonido que, en este caso, lo emite el vehículo, no la persona.

He Roared Off Well, I almost always defer to what native Spanish speakers say is the most correct expression, of course. But here, in this very interesting article about imported luxury brands that Russians love so much, you can find an example of what I am talking about (at the same time that the guy is obviously roaring off in a car!): https://www.reuters.com/article/autoshow-russia2/russians-lo...

I thought also in SALE PITANDO but didn't propose it as does not transmit the roaring noise of the engine...

Very good point Barbara! How I see it is that he departs quickly in his 4x4 and it is the 4x4 making the noises (the roar). Your answer is not bad at all but might not convey th desired message. En english with on word you can mean so much and in Spanish you need so many. Remember we vote not only for what we thiink it is right but preferentially in cases like this: How we understand it. I would have translated it as " arranca rugiendo y a toda velocidad en su todoterreno". That is why I voted for Natalia as her translation is more similar to what I would have translated.

It is always up to the asker to decide. The asker knows better what suits the whole text and the client.

In any case, you should put all that in your explanation so that people don't miss your point.

Good Point But the actual subject of the verbal phrase, "roar off", is the driver himself. That is one of the reasons I decided to offer the translation that I have.
