Hey J-150 Ford killed the BMW motors recently in the Range Rover line, they now use variants of Jaguar's AJ-series engines.
The blown motor is a 4.2L V8 (390 hp), thile the naturally aspirated motor is a 4.4L V8 (300 hp)
Not that I'm in the market for any Range Rover, but I expected to see a bit more speed out of them, as some other SUVs with less power (an V8 X5 for example) are faster than even the supercharged Rangies.

Pretty much the same engine that powers the S-Type R.

thanks for the update. I stand corrected.
