The Range Rover Sport did well and even have outstanding features to drool for. But since competition packs in a lot more horsepower down low, Land Rover needed something on its stable worthy becoming the diesel flagship in its ranks. Thus come the variant with the TD V8 engine. It has all the features of the outstanding Range Rover Sport but with a more powerful and efficient power plant in it.

Compared to the 6 cylinders, it is 42 percent more powerful, delivers 45 percent more torque at a similar fuel economy level. So buyers that are after power and efficiency can opt to have the TD V8 below their hoods. This makes the car worthy of the “Sports” badge on its back.

Ballistic cruising

With the sort of power that the TD V8 is capable of producing, you can advance to 60 mph at 8.6 seconds and can achieve a top speed of 124 mph. And you need not strain the accelerators to go ballistic. A full 500Nm torque comes in between 1,500 and 3,700 rpm. The obscene 640Nm torque figure can come at just 2,000 rpm. So no need to rev that much and you can actually go away without the slightest indication of a rush with a quieter engine. Acceleration actually comes effortless with the Range Rover Sport TD V8 variant. This comes in a handy if you want to sprint away from the limelight too soon.
