2010MY RRS 5.0l V8 Supercharged is the best Land Rover ever!

Discuss! 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

I would agree with LRE, but I am an employee and need my RRS to commute to work and to see clients and the car allowance I am getting does barely cover the costs of running my humble TDV6 and would never cover the higher purchase price and fuel consumption of a SC...... but any donations are as always more than welcome  SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE BUG AND SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE WINDSHIELD

2010 TDV8 Ultimate Edition, zermatt-ebony-grand lacquer, and all the goodies, plus Superchips Bluefin ECU performance upgrade, Gibson Performance exhaust tips

gone after only 7 months: MY10 TDV63.0 HSE, zermatt-ebony-anigree, Dynamic Response, Rear diff-lock, flappy paddles, premium leather, Sunroof, PTI, privacy glass, S/C design 5 Spoke Diamond Turned alloys

Of course it is........as was the 4.2 S/C before it.

Land Rovers line up would be incomplete without a thumping great V8 {petrol} available.......lovely!

The only disappointment with the 5.0 as opposed the 4.2..........where the F k has the whine gone Maybe they will bring it back with the {revised} engines  L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

5 series for the miles

RRS S/C factory built HST - Gone

45 others have been and gone!

There is some interesting reading in a one page article about future models too - best sneek into W H Smith and have aread at the Feb 2010 issue page 92 - like there is a new aluminium space frame architecture chassis under developement for RRS2 in 2014 when the T5 chassis goes out of production. I assume that is a weightsaving idea! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Their wwas some interview with CEO Landrover and he was quoted as saying that they were looking to reduce the weight in all of their vechicles by some big percentage (forgot exactly how much)
Think this has something to do with the way CO2 figures are determined and weight is a big factor and we all know that the present range is a bit lardy
