Jaguar recently revealed details for its brand new AJ-V6D Gen III S 3.0L six-cylinder turbodiesel engine, which in its most powerful trim is rated at 271hp (202kW) and 443lb-ft (600Nm) of torque. Later this year Land Rover will introduce facelifted versions of the Discovery and Range Rover Sport, and this should see the introduction of the new V6 diesel ...
for the petrolheads: Jaguar has reportedly developed a new 5.0L V8 engine for its performance models, and this is expected to feature in a number of Land Rover models as well.
ps there may be a post on the new models here, but I could n't find it.

Don't forget that most of what you can see is cladding with air holes so's not to compromise cooling and air flow.

Shame its all covered by the disguise.
Looking through the holes in the disguise you can just see the new grill... but its very hard to make out. And it indeed appears to look like what the motor authority web site pic is showing, the same design but hidden on the Sweden pics.
I guess the disguise hides the final look and new headlight design.

Stupid question alert:-
For just a few external design features, why do they feel the need to run it around for a few weeks?.

Land Rover should ditch that recovery loop in the middle of the rear bumper and fit a tow socket in there. The current setup is too prone to mud and way too low for my liking.

Also a redesign of the front grill and valance would require testing for airflow... especially as there are new engines.
Looks like the air intake on the passenger side is also a real hole and not a fake one... so are we due dual RAI's or some other solution ??

Nope! There's lots of cars with "fake" stuff on it.
One that I can think of is the Toyota RAV4 fake air scoop (http://rav4oz.compact4wd.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2388)
