2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport TDV8

Range Rover Sport Tuning by Vemiri

Vemiri offers an 8-piece body kit for the Range Rover Sport. Replacement front and rear bumpers and 6-piece side skirts make up this kit. Chrome-plated grills for the front and the side and smoked rear lightclusters ar also avbailable. The suspension module lowers the car 40 mm at the front and 30 mm at the back so it sits nicely on the 22″ wheels. Vemiri claim their engine module increases the power of the Range Rover Sport by 20%. The exhaust integrated in the rear bumper reduces back-pressure while meeting emission standards. Various upgrades are on offer for the interior, ranging from piano black trim to lcd screens for the headrests.

Where it sits: The Range Rover Sport TDV8 is exactly the same price as the petrol powered V8, but god only knows why you would opt for that variant. It may as well be deleted from the range!

Entry level into a Range Rover Sport is a fair and reasonable $87,900 for the TDV6, which goes well enough and is kind to your wallet. Above the TDV8 is the V8 Supercharged at $136,900, a favourite of ours. When that Supercharger starts singing, it’s nothing short of intoxicating for us petrol heads, but its thirst for premium fuel, could leave OPEC short of a barrel or two.

How the Land Rover guys are able to extract 200kW of power and a monstrous 640Nm of torque from a diminutive 3.6-litre V8 diesel is a complete mystery to me.
