United Kingdom 2017 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Santorini Black

There's an interesting point in that article about BMW needing to sell the V8 to another manufacturer to achieve the volumes needed to make it worthwhile developing and manufacturing. 2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography
2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster - Gone, but not forgotten

And then there is the new 5.2 liter supercharged Ford engine being released at Detroit Motor Show. And just to add interest what about a McLaren V8???

And just in case McLaren option causes anguish don’t forget that Ricardo who supply the McLaren V8 are a development partner with LandRover , Jaguar for Diesel engines and 4x4 systems. They supply McLaren with 5000 engines already so they could always use the volume and cost efficiency. And they would be British. ( not that that is always an advantage)

The Mclaren V8 would have to change substantially to be used in a Range Rover. Its bore stroke ratio is too high and it also has a single plane crank.

I also suspect Ricardo are setup to supply Mclaren type quantities, and would require substantial production investment to cater for JLR.

You would be surprised what kind of engine you can put behind a 9 speed transmission. I also think that McLaren Range Rover has a nice ring to it. And then to get clever we could do a super hybrid and call it an R1. Carbon fiber body panels and magnetic suspension, 1,000,000 pounds, limited to 100 units, sold only to peasant shooters with two last names and a trophy wife and middle eastern gentlemen with more than 12 wives who aren’t currently negotiating their return to freedom.And solves your Ricardo limited production capacity concerns.
How do you spell Bentley Bentwanko Buster?
My apologies for going off topic a little bit but never hurts to think laterally.

No problem thinking laterally, just a problem going laterally without thinking. Cool

Usually too much right foot or cold weather in my lateral directions. Incidentally from what I know of the new 5.2 supercharged Ford engine its also flat plane so may take it out of consideration. Humble apologies about the Bentley comment, didn’t notice the name of the town you lived in.

Flat plane V8's sound horrible in everything apart from a sports car.
