The state-of-the-art 340PS 3.0-litre V6 supercharged combines effortless performance and exceptional refinement with enhanced fuel efficiency, and provides an attractive new engine choice for key global markets which favour smaller capacity petrol engines. "The all-new Range Rover has received a tremendous reception in the marketplace, and this exciting new V6 supercharged engine will broaden its appeal still further," said John Edwards, Land Rover Global Brand Director. "It combines the desirability of the world's finest luxury SUV, with the enhanced sustainability offered by this advanced downsized petrol engine." The engine's advanced supercharged design is ideally suited to the all-new Range Rover, delivering smooth, seamless performance with generous torque throughout the rev range. Paired with the slick and responsive eight-speed automatic transmission, the 3.0-litre V6 supercharged offers drivers an effortless and confident drive, reaching 60mph from rest in just 7.1 seconds (100km/h in 7.4 seconds). The downsized V6 supercharged engine features Land Rover's intelligent Stop/Start* system to help significantly enhance fuel efficiency. With CO2 emissions of 254g/km, the LR-V6 supercharged achieves a 15 percent reduction over the 5.0-litre LR-V8 naturally aspirated. From the outset, the new engine has been engineered to support the Range Rover's full breadth of capability, including extreme off-road tilt angles up to 45 degrees, wading depth of 900mm and towing weight up to 3,500kg. The LR-V6 engine is now available to order in key markets worldwide, with customer deliveries scheduled to commence in the third quarter of this year. State-of-the-art V6 engine design The 3.0-litre LR-V6 supercharged petrol engine has been developed by Land Rover powertrain experts from the award-winning 5.0-litre LR-V8 unit which has successfully powered the latest generation of Range Rover models. The 3.0 V6 supercharged shares many of the V8's key technologies including direct injection, variable valve timing and aluminium construction. It offers comparable levels of refinement and driveability to the naturally-aspirated version of the V8 engine, but with greater specific output and efficiency courtesy of supercharging technology. Land Rover engineers are established leaders in the field of high-efficiency supercharger systems, following their experience with the supercharged 5.0-litre LR-V8 engine. "This new V6 draws upon the advanced technology of our V8 design to create a highly efficient, downsized power unit," said Ron Lee, Director of Powertrain Engineering, Land Rover. "Supercharging has enabled us to deliver the effortless, refined performance which has become a distinguishing character of Range Rover engines." With a peak output of 340PS at 6,500rpm, the 3.0-litre LR-V6 supercharged has been developed to offer exceptionally strong torque throughout the engine speed range, producing maximum torque of 450Nm between 3,500 and 5,000rpm. The new quad-cam V6 shares its all-aluminium construction with the V8, with the lightweight die-cast block supplemented with cross-bolted main bearing caps to increase rigidity and therefore refinement. The four-valve cylinder heads are constructed of recycled aluminium. The valves themselves are subject to control by a dual independent variable cam timing (DIVCT) system which is activated by the positive and negative torques generated by the movement of the intake and exhaust valves. This variable timing system features actuation rates of more than 150 degrees per second throughout the rev range, to optimise power, torque and economy at all engine speeds.
