Well.
How is the TDV6 compared to the TDV8? I have also heard that with some tuning the v8 can outrun the supercharger. Is that true?
The V8 is nicer, but somehow the overall car is nicer in the facelift.
I really like the facelift interior. Is it possible to swap it into a prefacelift? 91 BMW 850CSI

hahaha..... wait for the fun to begin  ============
2010 TDV8 HSE - ooo laa laaaaaaaaa
2007 TDV8 HSE - superb car and very reliable
============
2012 - dearly departed, sadly missed.. to return in late 2013 with a new TDV8!

Find yourself a MY 2010 TDV8 with the new interior and have it chipped and I guarantee you'll never look back  SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE BUG AND SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE WINDSHIELD

2010 TDV8 Ultimate Edition, zermatt-ebony-grand lacquer, and all the goodies, plus Superchips Bluefin ECU performance upgrade, Gibson Performance exhaust tips

gone after only 7 months: MY10 TDV63.0 HSE, zermatt-ebony-anigree, Dynamic Response, Rear diff-lock, flappy paddles, premium leather, Sunroof, PTI, privacy glass, S/C design 5 Spoke Diamond Turned alloys

There are some stories floating that New modelwill have V8 4.4 as fitted to full fat. I think personally having had a V8 will never be impressed by V6. Having driven new v6 it just doesn't have the kick. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

So there were actually a facelift cars with the V8?
Didnt know that 91 BMW 850CSI

Yes , all were 2010MY cars. The engine was discountinued in both RRS and FFRR when the EU5 regs came into force. 4.4TDv8 wouldn't fit into the RRS, 2011MY FFRR was engineered to take it. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

I managed to get the TDV8 in a facelift, on a 10 plate - it took a while to track down with the options/colour I wanted

you can also find some 60 plate ones

Oh no!  SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

Tdv6 is great...tdv8 is just for dinosaurs.

As for the new range rover sport...lots of hype on here for a car that hasn't even been launched let alone released, it could have anything in 1,2,3 or when ever it might be released...in the mean time the tdv6 is more than man enough...if you want a v8 there is only one and you can buy it now, the proper 5.0SC  Mike
