First they make nano, now this.

Tata is making humanity a favor.

They are producing affordable small economy cars for the lower class while making gigantic SUVs with ineffective brakes that also flip over (and kill the driver) in tight turns for the rich bastards.

Go Tata!

@Sajeev Mehta :

absolutely not the same motor as any possible canine-themed motors which may or may not exist.

or course PAG developed the motor “with Ford’s help”. they were part of Ford when the engine was developed, so it would have been developed as part of the Ford global powertrain cycle plan. I think most of the development was done in europe, which makes sense given the production location & applications for the motor.

If the small Tata is the “Nano” and that term means one billionth, shouldn’t this one be called the Giga?

I love the 2010 Range Rover and can’t wait to see it!

“No way PAG made this motor without Ford’s help. This has to be the Coyote motor everyone’s talking about for the Mustang and Ford trucks.”

This new premium 5.0L engine is designed specifically for Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles not Ford vehicles. Also, Land Rover’s advanced premium CGI (Compact Graphite Iron) Turbo-Diesel V8 (TDV8) was designed specifically for the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. The new premium 3.0L CGI TDV6 is also designed for Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles. The older 2.7L CGI premium TDV6 is now soley used by French Peugeot cars, who helped design this engine.

Wrong 5.0. This is not part of the modular engine family, has direct injection and some new supercharger.

It’s there…it seems like you can see a dozen supercharged Roush Mustangs on eBay just about any day.

(patiently waiting for that motor to show up in the Mustang)

All the better to speed you to the service department when the various lights start flashing (or not as the case may be).
