    Why is it a diesel? I would think someone with 150k has money to spend on fuel for the 5.0 petrol 500bhp model.

    This is Ireland.

    Walk into a Land Rover dealership and ask for a petrol and they'd probably laugh at you.

    One of the most vulgar 'merchant banker' designs to grace our roads. That is the normal one.
    THIS one, I have no words for it.

    What are you on about?
    "INTRODUCING THE 2011 RANGE ROVER: THE MOST CAPABLE AND LUXURIOUS SUV IN THE WORLD

    • New 4.4-litre LR-TDV8
    o Power 313PS (an increase of 15.1 percent)"
    http://www.media.landrover.com/php/news.php?news_id=406

    vs the 2 petrol equivalents.
    # 2009–present Land Rover Range Rover Sport, 510 hp (380 kW) and 461 lb·ft (625 N·m)
    # 2009–present Land Rover Range Rover Sport, 385 hp (287 kW) and 380 lb·ft (520 N·m)
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_Rover_Sport


    Even the old pre-2008 naturally aspirated petrol delivered 300bhp.. a far cry from 100bhp less than the twin turbo diesel. Land Rovers 2010 "super diesel" is at the same performance figures as VWs "super diesel" was in 2003. Personally I find that kinda rubbish.

    Pulley system would suggest a supercharger. Although IMO, it would want to have a fair bit of accompanying work to pull an extra 300+ bhp from it???

    Can much power be taken from tweek maps on diesels?

    Depends. Plenty of large displacement engines(mostly american :p) that don't need a huge amount of work to get 200+hp from just adding a supercharger, but a extremely modern and advanced diesel is a slightly different prospect.

    I don't see a remap/new induction system/new exhaust literally doubling the power either.

    If an A8 cannot pull it off, a Range Rover has no chance.

    Whatever about the Chrome, the A8 is some beast of a car.
