for anyone who don't speak Dutch : They say this is the grill for the new v8, its different because the engene needs more cooling and the twin turbo more air.

Given that's a spy shot, I'd say there's a high chance that if they do change the grille for the V8 diesel then it'll look a whole bunch nicer than that... test cars often have bits of their bodywork blacked out.

Wonder if that is what I saw at Gaydon last week - no open grill like the one in the picture, but it had a huge Subaru Imprezza Turbo type sccop on the top of the bonnet...................... 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

It will look better than that picture, would you honestly pay so much for that!

If they do bring out a V8 Diesel I'll be first in line for a test drive. I'd love it if Landrover did make one good enough. L319 D4 HSE
