My sport went in for accident repairs today. Got a 64 plate SDV6 as a "loaner". Anyone know for sure what BHP the engine would be in that?

It is a very different drive to my HSE Dynamic. MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

I'm sure the 2014 will be 288.

Well, it is definitely quieter than mine, and actually quicker! Could be due to the lower weight for not having the dual ratio transfer box etc.?


Grip is well down though, without the dynamic chassis pack the car understeers far more easily, and the feeling of epic grip is absent. Nearly slid across a wet roundabout into the curb this morning, at a speed well below what I would normally use.

Same tyres, too, although they have 17k miles on them, but still plenty of tread. MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

You're not really supposed to go drifting in a loaner
