£81550 - maybe not

Quote:

But the V8 doesn’t rev with the freedom or ferocity of BMW’s tri-turbo six-pot turbodiesel, and doesn’t feel as flexible.

 Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

It's a lot of cash for only a little extra dash. I can't see them selling many of those to be honest - anyone wanting a quick Sport will just get the S/C for the same money. Anyone wanting diesel economy would be better off with the SDV6 and £6k in the bank.

The only way that will appeal is if LR give it some interesting unique feature, but it'll have to be very interesting to be worth the extra over the SDV6... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
