Keen students of Range Rover nomenclature will correctly surmise that is a turbodiesel V8 model.The 3.6-litre V8 engine packs 268bhp and a tarmac-trembling 472lb ft of torque to bridge the gap between the TDV6 and petrol V8 models very effectively.
Capable of a reasonable 25.5mpg combined economy, the TDV8 will also see the Sport from 0-60mph in 8.6 seconds and on to an electronically strangled top speed of 130mph.
A six-speed automatic gearbox is standard, as is full-time four-wheel drive.
The TDV8 comes with a specification similar to the Supercharged's, which means 19in alloy wheels and leather seats.
Prices will be announced at the Paris motor show in September.
