Land Rover sells a lot of diesels. And that"s a problem, when droves of punters are turning their backs on the sticky black stuff for petrol, hybrid and electric power. So, enter the company"s all-new" straight-six petrol engine, which was developed in-house and will be built at JLR"s 1billion engine plant in Wolverhampton. For now you can only get it in the Range Rover Sport more specifically a 80K semi-sporty version called the HST, which gets carbon-fibre trim, red brake calipers and such. That"s it, up there. 395bhp and 406lb ft mean 0-62mph in 6.2 seconds and 140mph, which isn"t half bad for such a heffalump. The supercharged V6 petrol it effectively replaces (but is still available in the Jaguar F-Type) makes 335bhp and 332lb ft.
