There is a search facility at the top of the page, try TDV6 or TDV8. This topic has been covered so many times, just a few examples here.

You don't buy either diesel if you want sport car acceleration - that's what the Supercharged is for.

The difference in performance between the 2.7 and the 3.6 is like night and day. Between the 3.0 and 3.6 it's a lot closer. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

2.7 with Bell remap is not a bad alternative Thumbs Up In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

A mapped 2.7 is still not a patch on a standard 3.6, IMHO Thumbs Up

However, a mapped 3.6... Cool Mr. Green Thumbs Up

I agree, a remap does not make it into a V8, however it does make it a LOT better than a standard 2.7. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Well, my wife wanted the TDV8 for herself without even having driven it.

just because there is a difference between owning a v6 or a v8 on its own.
