Hi guys i have been informed from LR today that the 4.4 V8 they have fitted into the range rover will not be fitted into the RR sport, something about it will not fit. We will just have to wait and see if the boffins can shoe horn it in eventually............ RANGE ROVER 3.6 TD V8 HSE ZERMATT SILVER BLACK LEATHER. AC COBRA 5.7 V8.................. LIVE FOR TODAY COS TOMORROW MAY NEVER ARRIVE,,,,

dont worry i had the same lie told to me by a friendly sales man (who is the daddy).. it's just spin to keep people buying the TDV6. The 4.4 will be out next year.

Many many many moons ago when looking at a BMW 330 convertible, the salesman told me that BMW were not going to produce a M3 convertible as it would erode the 330 sales... never did buy the beemer, and 1 and a bit years later voila ....M3 convertible was released.....

I hope you're sources are better connected than mine were in that instance

Also remember that LR never confirmed the then strongly rumoured 3.0 until it was released, although (and eventually), reg checks on spy shots of a disguised 2010 on The Ring showed a 3.0 lump inside... I guess the problem will be that if there are ever rrs 4.4 test units going around anytime soon, then they will now look like regular 2010 cars and no one will snap piccie for magazines so a reg check can be done.

There will be a 4.4tdv8 sport for sure. Who told you rangrov? a dealer or LR them self.

I drove the new 4.4 TDV8 in a FF this week, i also had a quick measure up and i think i can get in into a defender no problem so i cant see why it cant fit in a RRS.

That would be a real animal, a coslty one but a beast non the less.

Don't worry rangrov....it will fit!!!!

oh how wrong we all were  ============
2010 TDV8 HSE - ooo laa laaaaaaaaa
2007 TDV8 HSE - superb car and very reliable
============
2012 - dearly departed, sadly missed.. to return in late 2013 with a new TDV8!

They must fit it in the RRS or loose sales, at least mine.

Unfortunately... the general trend in the industry is smaller engines.... so maybe if we're lucky we'll see a beefed up 3.6 V8 again..
Either way .. new model.bigger engine....i'll have one please... 2014.5 SDV6 AB Dynamic ... Fuji /Santorini Pan roof and 22's
2013 Porsche Boxster S 3.4
2014 Audi A3 S line Quattro
