I'm really interested what price the of v8 diesel will have ...
If you look at mercedes / audi / vw the v8's are about 20.000 euro !! ( +/- 12500 ponds !!) more then the v6 engines .
then i dont know if its worth it ??????
.. we will see ....

just saw a picture off the new front grill of the v8 diesel ( i like the current one better)

p.s on a dutch website they say release of v8 diesel spring 2006 !!!!

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. 

test models .. not existing cars with new test engines that only draws attention if they change the looks !!

ps i hope also it will look nicer , this looks sh*t

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...................... A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

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.

Wouldn't be great to put it in a Defender too................. true tree stump pulling power without a winch! A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

No more air to engine through that grille than through the ones fitted at present. It looks awfull
