If you read the comments attached to the news article:

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.a...7&i=20

you'll see someone is claiming to have done a DVLA check and found that it only has a 4.1 ltr engine. Another member has commented he is certain it has the new Ford 4.4l twin turbo diesel from unstated sources...

If they did go V12 i would have thought a diesel V12 a la Audi would be the way forward. In this climate with manufacturers running for hybrid and 'green' options, I just couldn't see anyone launching a new V12 petrol version - unless they are a supercar manufacturer!

I was told by the BMW stealer I was talking to that the reason they don't do a V10 X5 is because the 'performance' engine is designed to rev a lot higher higher, and thus provides lower torque figures than one expects from these type of vehicles. Particularly when a lot are used as towing vehicles...

I'm not an engineer, so please no flames, just passing on the comments I was given!

That would maybe be the same for RR if they were looking at one of these types of engines already around the place.

That's true we have seen pics of the new 5.0 V8 - hardly the most tree hugging of engines. There will always be people who are happy to pay the extra potential taxes attracted by big petrol engines, simply because they want a big petrol engine...
