Our friends at worldcarfans have reported that 2011 Range Rover will receive a brand new 4.4 Liter V8 diesel engine which will replace the current 3.6 Liter V8 engine.
The announcement was sent by the automaker to its German dealerships which stated that the new model will cost €3,000 (£2,540) more than the current model. The letter also mentions the release schedule of the new model and says that the press embargo on the new Range Rover will be lifted on June 17th with a full pricing release followed by a media event in London celebrating the 40th anniversary of the brand on July 1.
The new model will be officially revealed for the public at Moscow Motor Show later this year while the new models will go on sale in Germany from October 1 onwards.
The new 4.4 liter V8 diesel engine now produces a maximum power of 308 bhp and a maximum 700 nm of torque, a 15% and 10% increase respectively. The engine will be mated to a brand new 8-Speed automatic transmission which will power the SUV to 100 kph from rest in just 7.6 seconds on to a top speed of 208 kmph. Fuel consumption figure stand at 10.2 liters per 100 kms with a CO2 output of 264 grams/kilometer, a 10% reduction.
The new 2011 Range Rover will still be available with the 5.0 liter V8 supercharged as on the current version but will feature the same 6-speed automatic transmission. The new diesel version though will come with the same gear selector as the new Jaguar XF and XJ.
There are two new colors as well, Baltic Blue and Fuji Alaska White replacing the currently available Buckingham Blue and White.
The information has been released to the dealer so that they can start pitching the new Range Rover to the prospective buyers.
