There’s the SVX with a 5.0 liter V8, too. Unsure how much bigger it is.


The 5.0 is no bigger than the 3.0. It's the same engine block, they just don't bore out the back cylinders on the 3.0!

I’m very interested to know how the shorter 3.0 heads seal the water jacket on a 5.0 block... Rolling Eyes Disco 5 HSE Lux

Days of the v-engined JLR cars seem to be getting shorter. Great shame - they all sound better to me than the straights.

There’ll still be in-line sixes coming.

General trend of downsizing engines; 1.0 3 pot Mondeo, 1.5 3 pot Merc, MINI, etc.

Squeezing much more power per cc these days though.

The original D3’s with 190bhp V6 was a bit of a revelation at the time, now a four pot 240bhp base engine is sniffed at by some...... Rolling Eyes

I’m sticking with 4.4d V8 for as long as I’m allowed to Neutral
