You pass them at the filling station with looking skint.....  2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE in Artic Frost. 20" 2010 HST Alloys, sidesteps, Hawke tips, plus minor bits and bobs along with a remap. Four spike spiders ready for the Alps again now tucked up in their garage boxes...

All of the above

Having never heard a 4.4 V8 I cannot comment on that.... but s/c v's diesel (TDV6 & TDV8 ) the s/c has a totally different exhaust note, much smoother, less boomy. RRS gone
Audi SQ5...Gone Audi Q7 S-Line 240 3.0TDI Gone
Audi A6 Allroad Sport 270 3.0TDI

When I entered the world of RRS my heart said Supercharged but my head said TDV6 (that was the year I was looking at).

24,000 miles later I am comfortable with the mileage and performance of my (ECU upgraded) TDV6 HSE but life is more than for just being comfortable..

Still think the fuel costs must be horrrrrrrendous though  2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE in Artic Frost. 20" 2010 HST Alloys, sidesteps, Hawke tips, plus minor bits and bobs along with a remap. Four spike spiders ready for the Alps again now tucked up in their garage boxes...

1st generation Supercharged have the "fin" antenna on the roof (ariel for the SatNav)

.....I just like to feel we're adding to global warming as I'm still bloody freezing  BMW 530D 2011 still here
Porsche Boxster S gone - RRS Supercharged bought to transport 2 Tibetan Terriers!!

My car has s/c grill and vents, s/c wheels, dynamic pack, brembo front brakes, goes like sh-t off a chrome shovel and only does 20.5 average. Does this sound like a s/c ?

If its your car then how dont you know

The Supercharged has, funnily enough a supercharged badge on it

Open the engine and it tells you in big letters what engine it is (or mine did).

Most significant is at the other end...the filler will say petrol  Mike

2014 Facelift Discovery

It will have 'Supercharged' written on the speedo on the dash. Also if its petrol! Are you blond by any chance?  MY11 Autobiography supercharged. Santorini Black. Monaco interior. Rear screens. Privacy.
Gone MY08 Supercharged HST. Java black. Ivory premium interior. Rear screens. Privacy. Missed a lot.
Gone MY04 Discovery V8 Petrol ES Premium. Awesome.

Thanks Mike

I thought this site was to help others out, not take the pi-s

Opps sorry jack. No offence  MY11 Autobiography supercharged. Santorini Black. Monaco interior. Rear screens. Privacy.

Sorry man.... It's been a long week. Nothing meant

From my view S/C have different vents and of course say so on the back.

Not sure about the fin as my 2005 TDV6 HSE has a bigger, taller fin than later models but I maybe wrong,

If you Youtube for TopGear RRSport and FifthGear RRSport clips from when they launched you'll see the s/c variants.

The s/c at launch was also the only variant in whatever that really vivid bronzy orange colour is...

Enjoy your weekend
