True, but in place of the whine, we got the angry growl when the V8 starts working hard. And that I enjoy even more than the whine. Oh boy, there is no way to explain that growl - you have to experience it firsthand (at least, not with my limited ability with the English language). 2010 Sport Supercharged with all options apart from TV and Extended leather (wish I had the latter) (Previously 2007 RRS S/C)

Yep, the change from TDV6 to V8 S/C is massive to say the least, and wow, the V8 growl when the sunroof is open is the best ever.

Take offs at traffic lights have quickly become rather difficult, much like riding my BMW F800, I will need to delay a little more rather than taking my foot off the break as soon as I see green, OK if i'm at the front, but if there is a car in front its bloody hard to control.

Looking forward to every country trip to all the new Australian wind farms and every morning drive to the office.

Thanks for the great reviews. MY2010 RRS 5.0L S/C - finally has arrived, out with turbo lag, in with the neck breaking V8!!!
