Goodbye TDV8  L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

5 series for the miles

RRS S/C factory built HST - Gone

45 others have been and gone!

So basically next year the TDV6 will have the ugly two bars grille + 300cc and there will be no more TDV8?

Exactly. No TDV8, and I am happy I just got notice I can pick mine up on Monday afternoon:) RRS TDV8, black with ivory.

I'm feeling a bit faint with this diesel talk. Is there going to be any improvement on the V8 petrol SC this is the only important thing to be talking about.

So TB?????

Why? haven't you heard, the V8 SC is going off line and will be replaced by a 4cyl made by MARUTI.

My stealer has twice told me that the TDV8 is growing to larger than 4ltrs (can't remember if he said 4.2 or 4.4) and over 800 'torques'! He didn't say which MY though...

I'm more concerned about the the new front grille... I mean, it looks sort of ugly, I prefer the old one, but you know, it's the new model, next year every RRS with the 3 bars grille will be "old"...

The 5 litre S/C is ready to go and would have been debuted, probably at Geneva (5-15.03.09) but now is deemed non-PC in the current climate and will be delayed until matters improve (if they do!) certainly where the Sport is concerned. That could be Essen, all being well (unlikely) 28.11.09-06.12.09. It will, however, be announced, almost certainly on original schedule, in the Jag XKR and XFR.
So, you are all going to have to wait, probably a long time! As TB has attempted to get through, the TdV8 will remain unchanged in capacity, and certainly not replaced. 8-speed ZF's are imminent. No further comment, you can believe this or what your mate told you down the pub. The Range Rover Sport is yesterday's car and is rapidly falling off the wrong end of the Cool Wall! hehe
