Full fat RR / RRS ... engines and models?

[LDN]

Are there different gen' engines in the latest RR / RRS? If so, when was the crossover? Example is the Evoque went from 2.2 to the newer 2.0 some months back...


Is there a definitive spec list for the RR/ RRS that isn't just the latest one for brand new models? i.e: used up to three years old.

Is there a new RR / RRS sport on the horizon? When are they expected?

Thanks

re latest RRS - I *think* the latest engine is 306hp which replaces the previous 288hp. Not sure exactly when the 306 was introduced but from looking on Autotrader it appears to be late 2015. I have no idea how you would know if you were buying a 288 or 306 though


hope that helps


eta - might need a LR forum for the answer to this (LR forum on here is a bit quiet)

The 306BHP engine was on cars built Feb 2015 onwards. Mine is a 15 reg first registered on 1st March 2015 and I have it. It's a much smoother and powerful engine with much more torque than the unit it replaced. It is also much more fuel efficient. I would buy a car with the newer engine if you can. It's a real shame that RR don't offer this wonderful engine in the larger RR.

RRsport.co.uk and fullfatrr.com are your friend.

The Full fat has it's own engine and it is very underpowered - a TDV6 with 258 BHP which is even lower than the old RRS engine had!

There was also a RRS with a TDV6 255BHP engine, this was only available in SE spec and was only around for approx 1 year as it was not a big seller I believe. Everyone was buying the SDV6 288BHP which only came in the higher spec models.
