The TDV6 and the new SDV6 2012 engine? What does the SD stand for? i know the SDV6 is a few horses up on the 2011 TDV6.

in the same vein, can someone please tell what the differences between a 2013 SE & S are?

thanks --

Indeed so. The gearbox on the Supercharged is slightly different for this reason.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

And why the boxes are different between the 2.7/3.6/4.2

Naks, are you talking about L494 RRS? In Europe the SE was the base model and it was very soon discontinued in 2014. There was no S version of RRS2 in European Markets so must have been something for the rest of the world. L494 launch range was SE,HSE, HSE Synamic, Autobiography Dynamic. Today it is HSE, HSE Dynamic, Autobiography Dynamic and SVR.

Back to the TDV6/SDv6 discussion - why then is the base V6 in L494 RRS called the SDv6 yet in FFRR L405 the same engine is the badged as a TDv6? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Plus back to basics, the SDV6 & the TDV6 in the 2011 sport are mechanically identical, so it must only be the MAP that is different, hypothetically, could it be that the likes of Some Tuning Companies etc simply apply the SDV6 map to a TDV6  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures

What is the difference between the SDV6 and TDV6 Range Rover Sport engine wise I'm regarding a 2011 sport to a 2012 SDV6

Yes, dealer theoretically could remap it back and as you say it's for required markets plus anyone who requests the standard TD variant.

Amazing they squeeze more power yet the mpg goes up.....I guess detuning has it's disadvantages!!

Thanks for the info, I did a quick search and most tech specs for the SD are for the 2012 model, which shows a 10 hp increase but torque remains at 600nm, so might not be worthwhile asking the dealer ( I doubt if they would remap it for free , despite it doing a software update for 6 hours everytome it goes in for a service!)

Ps the info does state that the 2012 comes with an 8 speed box!

What's missing from making mine a full 2012 replica as it's actually 59 plate by everyone says that is a 2010 car I would like to know

In the L494 there is a difference you can see, the SDV6 has 2 air filters, both individually taking air from their own vents under the bonnet. This I imagine is for better airflow in the higher output engine, the other reason is to be more expensive on services needing 2 air filters.

The TDV6 only uses one...  2017 MY17 SDV6 SE

So is there no changes on the 2012 - 2013 models the L320 ?

Back to BHP, 10 BHP difference at 600Nm is only circa a difference of 80 RPM.
I know that correction factors are used on test beds when working out BHP, however the few claimed extra BHP could be down to air temp, humidity, test bed, test bed calibration, or maybe even Marketing hype, however we all know Motor manufacturers never ever lie. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures

A 2009 has silver side grills, front grill and a far better two part tail gate and silver door handles.
From the outside it's basically just a new tailgate. black side grills and front grill etc. to make it look like a 2011.

On the inside the 2009 had a gear lever / selector, the 2011 had a rotary knob, and the suspension raise and lower switch gear is different.

Under the car, 8 speed gearbox and a claimed more powerful engine

If the photo is of your car, then you need black door handles  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
