I can see the fact it'll pull a house over a lot easier than the SC - but is it actually quicker/faster? The engine's not as powerful at the end of the day and it's not torque that gets you away from the lights quickly...

Actually, it is In reality, BHP doesn't really exist, it is simply a multiplication of torque x rpm. You would typically be using the lower rev range when pulling away, therefore the rpm multiplier wouldn't produce the high BHP figures, but you could still have high torque. If you look at a BHP & torque curves for the same engine, you wil see that while ever there is torque you will get increasing power as the revs rise. Once torque starts to drop off, the power it will follow shortly after. A diesel will invariably produce lower BHP figures than a "comparable" petrol, simply because it produces the torque at lower revs and therefore, a lower multiplication factor. Paul |

The figures look good. Given the spec, LR will need to position it well to not kill SC sales....

So in the real world it will do 18 mpg, cost as much as a V8 petrol and go as well as a chipped V6.

One thing it doesn't say is how low down it reaches the maximum torque - it will probably pretty low like it is in all LR diesels to help the offroad-ablity. There is also no mention of Dynamic pack being fitted to the FFRR.

Given the success that BMW have had in putting their 3.0d twin-turbo unit into a number of their cars, I'd say it's open season for the performance diesel to be appearing in new models across the industry. Now if only the fuel was the same price as petrol (or LPG would be better!)
