Angel - I'm in Germany on holiday at the moment and was just asked how many PS my RRS has (TDV6 ...). He then asked me about the fuel economy (l/100km) - to which I had no ready answer!

Being a complete no-hoper with any sort of technical question I need to understand firstly where to find the "PS" info, and then how to convert normal MPG to l/100km ........

Are you or anyone else able to help?

Just about to hit the autobahn and head up towards Karlsruhe after blasting round rides at europa park yesterday so I need a speed fix! RRS TDV6 SE Java Black +towpack +tintent +Permagrin

What a difference between this and my old Disco3
Formerly mxgeldar7

I may be about to make a complete fool of myself BUT............

I think PS is the same as BHP in which case the TDV6 is in the region of 200....

Can't help on the l/km though  Current: I can't say...Oh the Shame!

I had hoped for the TDv6 2.7 but for once LR are ahead of the game on their website! The PS etc is in the technical data page of your owners manual - your car should get something like 11l/100kms

Comparing outputs of the 3.0ltr with the TDv8 shows how superfluous the TDv8 will become in September 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Yes, the mpg va. l/100km thing is a bit complicated. At first I also wondered how you got your mpgs until I recognized there was a difference between your mpg and the American...


But you can calculate it quite easily: y l/100 km = 1/x mpg * 1.60934/4.54609 / 100


Germans always ask me about my "Verbrauch" in l/100km. I know they want to hear something about "15 l/100km" so they feel better about the thirst of their car, therefore I always answer "Depending on driving style and where I drive it is between 11 l/100km around town and 8 l/100km on the Autobahn!" which of course is a lie but their faces are just priceless!

It maybe our pathetic speed limits but I regularly get 8l/100km on the freeway and 10l/100km in townfrom my TDV6.  Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

Current - 2010 Java Black RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Current- 2024 RRS P400 SE Dynamic

You must have made some error in your calculation! Or is it just to see my stupid face?

I get about 12-14 l/100km in town (well, Stuttgart consists completely of mountains that may have something to do with it) and about 10-11 l/100km if driving big distances. In my holiday in France i had about 9 l/100km with four passengers and a full boot , so speed limits may really help a little - but a 1 or 2 l/100km saving would never be enough for me to accept a national speed limit on the Autobahn, a saveage of 10 l/100km would not be enough!  RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

Ach ja, to answer the original questions:

German PS means Pferdestärken, so you can translate it easily to horsepower. As already stated correctly by some users German PS are the same as bhp, it is just KW (Kilowatt, but I guess it is the same shortform in english ) multiplied with 1.36. RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

2nd, the UK prices for 2010MY mean that a 3.0ltr HSE without any options will cost MORE than my TDv8 when I bought it.......... what to do about replacing the TDv8 when it gets to 2.5/3years old?
The other problem is that the XF is probably the better car ......................... shame on you LR for your ludicrous pricing policy. Only thing is that with stupidly high prices for the 2010MY RRS and the high demand for good used RRS's here, depreciation will hopefully remain low on my TDv8! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Well, the MY2010 RRS has an interior which is as nice as the interior of the FFRR on that basis its acually cheap because it is still a lot cheaper than the FFRR!
