QPR Official SiteJay Simpson was at the double, as Jim Magilton's men cruised to a comfortable victory against high-flying Cardiff City.
The Arsenal loanee bagged a first-half brace, on a day when Rangers turned on the style to clinch back-to-back away wins.
In truth, the 2-0 scoreline totally flattered the hosts, with the midfielder quartet of Wayne Routledge, Martin Rowlands, Ben Watson and Akos Buzsaky instrumental throughout, as Rangers dominated proceedings from the first whistle to the last.
Magilton was forced into changes for the trip to the new Cardiff City Stadium.
Adel Taarabt (mumps) and Matthew Connolly (virus) both missed out, as Magilton opted for an attacking 4-4-2 formation in South Wales.
Radek Cerny started in goal, behind a back four of Gary Borrowdale, Kaspars Gorkss, Damion Stewart and Mikele Leigertwood.
Skipper Rowlands returned to partner Watson in midfield, with Routledge and the returning Buzsaky occupying the wide berths.
In attack, hot-shot Simpson was partnered by Rowan Vine.
Cardiff midfielder Joe Ledley passed a late fitness test to take his place in Dave Jones' starting line-up, but there was no place for the suspended Steven McPhail.
In-form front-man Michael Chopra was joined in attack by Jay Bothroyd.
As the match commenced in front of a typically lively atmosphere, both sides were doing a good job of cancelling out each other's advances.
Indeed it took just under 10 minutes for the first clear opportunity of the game to come, though it was Rangers who were to have it.
After Simpson was dispossessed on the edge of the area the ball fell to Buzsaky, though the Magical Magyar could only shoot high and wide of the goal.
Moments later, the pair combined again as Buzsaky played Simpson through on goal, but the Arsenal loanee ran the ball too far in front of himself, as the hosts' backline cleared the danger.
There could be no doubt as to which side were having the better of the affair, and you could sense that an R's opener could be in the offing.
And soon after, Rangers didn't disappoint, taking a 19th minute lead in the process.
So much of the R's early play had consisted of some neat, intricate play - and it was exactly that brand of football that was on show for the opening strike of the game.
After Borrowdale picked the ball up wide on the left, he played the ball up to Vine on the edge of the area.
The former Birmingham marksman used his strength to hold of a defender before sending an exquisite through ball to Simpson who made no mistake thereafter, coolly slotting the ball down low past Marshall despite claims for offside from the Cardiff backline.
The R's were undoubtedly good value for their lead, as the hosts were struggling to get a foothold in the game.
Indeed that was evident with the fact that it took over 20 minutes for the Bluebirds to have their first shot on target; an effort from Ledley that flew straight at Cerny
Soon after, Rangers were again on the attack again and should - in fairness - have added a second. After a defence splitting pass from midfield by Watson, Simpson again found himself free down the right.
With time at his mercy, the striker breezed past one defender before cutting in to shoot, but his effort went agonisingly wide of the bottom left-hand corner.
Rangers were dictating the pace of the game, and only a brief opportunity - as Burke's rasping shot was well held by Cerny - was to give the visitors any trouble to note.
And such was the R's dominance in the opening half, that they added a another goal just before the break, as Simpson notched his second in the 40th minute.
After a clever switch to the opposite flank with Buzsaky, Routledge received the ball around halfway and made a darting run before playing Simpson through again down the right.
The Arsenal loanee wasn't to pass on this opportunity though, putting his head down before drilling home low into the bottom left-hand corner.
Rangers two up at the interval - and it was no more than they had deserved.
Buoyed by their performance in the first half, the R's came out after the break with a certain swagger about their play.
In fact they could have added a third early on when Watson's dangerous corner was diverted goalwards by Simpson, only for a forest of legs on the line to deny him his hat-trick.
This was pure dominance from Rangers, coupled with an abundance of total football - and quite how Vine failed to add that killer third moments later is anyone's guess.
After a deflection saw the ball enter his path, the fit-again striker was through on goal down the left and when he cut back, his curling shot clipped the outside of the post and went wide.
Moments later, Vine was again getting in on the act as he drove at the Cardiff defence after picking the ball up just after the halfway line, though his driving shot was well dealt with by Marshall.
With time running out, Magilton was keen to freshen things up. Alessandro Pellicori replaced goalscorer Simpson, before Patrick Agyemang entered the fray at the expense of the outstanding Vine.
The changes did little to halt the R's charge, with Buzsaky nearly adding a third with a late free-kick that curled inches wide.
