How about this desert racer?

When 2/3 of it is suspension - you know someone is bringing the party

JLR at least managed to increase the price of the ND and despite that also the sales.

"Raptorized" Defender 110..

Looks Cool, Ridiculously priced, BMW 4.4 V8 is a marvelous engine to drive, but prone to many issues. Of course, most people who can afford to purchased vehicles at this price point don't keep them long enough to care..

Will the 4.4 V8 fit in the Grenadier? Seems like a better solution.

I'd imagine it would, but not sure I'd want it..

Is there a Euro V8 that would offer reliability and lifetime to beat the B58 and tuning we've got? (I recognize our B58 and its tuning and mating to the drivetrain and weight of the Grenadier is also yet to be proven...)

Is this the commercial?

I think it's one of the better looking NDs I've seen but they're still not my cup of tea. And starting at $152,000!

yeah no

You hit the nail on the head.
The Ineos engines have been detuned for longer lifetime but it seems some customers want more speed and don't plan on keeping the vehicle long term.
We are lucky we get the B57 Diesel which suits the Grenadier a lot better I think.
It also comes with the more robust gearbox that can handle 760NM?? ( 560 freedom units) buit is detuned to 550 NM but flat from 1200 rpm.
That is focussed on long term reliability.

V8s are great. One thing that may have influenced the straight 6 is ease of maintenance.
V8s are hard to work on, especially when you add turbos. It's pretty common to have to lift the body off to access key components which makes it a more specialist job.

I don't get the point of very fast SUV'S. If you have that kind of money have a proper sports car to do much better sports car stuff, even a fast estate car would be better, AMG, Audi, BMW. Then get the best off road vehicle for showing the mum's on the school run that you are a true adventurous real man with your wheel jointly bumped up the curb. Get a convertible for summer stuff and a little shopping trolley type for the supermarket.
Fast suv's seem to impress fewer people as they are generally neither one thing or another
That's my opinion and you are all free to have yours, it will be wrong, but you have the freedom to think it
