TDV8 vs. supercharged which one u will prefer??

You have to say .................... " If money were no object " here

The Supercharged is awsome - its sounds great - goes like hell & puts the SPORT in the RRS.

But ..... if you do 80,000 miles a year ............ Yeah , then maybe you should by a diesel version.

Interestingly though [ I say this with a smile on my face ] ......... I look forward to seeing what JE Engineering and others will eventually do with the TDV8...... could then well be the engine of choice  
" WITH MORE EXTRAS THAN A HOLLYWOOD EPIC "

TDV8 with the Supercharged exhaust note please.  Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

Even a TDv6 with Misery's exhaust note would do! I'm not worried about the speed, you would scare the living daylights out of the little boys with their Maxpower Saxo's with that note!

What an excellent idea.


Scare the out of them and then drive over the top of them. Brilliant.  Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

The TDV8 is much nicer to drive offroad, but in the FFRR doesn't have the SC noise, not sure how much better it is the RRS

Tim,

Misery gave it some off a roundabout last Tuesday while we were following - it was VERY quick - much quicker than I expected

Kaine

I know how quick it is and I have heard the glorious exhaust note - he did a burn up in the street outside Earls Court when Jay, Kam and I met up with him for MPH06. he must have burned about 5 gallons of go juice just to get 1/4 mile down the street to give us a demo!  2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced

he does love those petrol stations

I will never buy a diesel...
It's just not a proper car for petrolheads
I hate sound of diesel (sounds like a bus, not a sportcar), i hate the black smoke of diesel when it's accelerating etc... it's just not right for a true premium car. IMHO  2014 Mercedes-Benz S500
