Default I wonder.....

The full size RR has the 3.0 Engine but puts out about 40 more HP. I wonder if there is a way to make the D-5 into the same engine?

If only there were chip kits....

You make a very good point though. It seems they're trying to differentiate more the full size RR from the Disco engine wise. I mean the I4 in the 2021s and whipping the V6 TD? Complete meh.

I drove full size a couple of weeks ago. I was thinking the extra weight would make it a dog. Surprisingly enough it was a perfect match. I drove the 515 HP prior and it's a screamer....

These 3.0s will easily do 300/500. Bluespark took a full second off my Pepper TDI 0-60. Hard not to smile at that. Not to mention a guy a work that had a Cayenne S with WAY more HP and . . . I ate his lunch to 40. I had nearly 100 lb.ft. on him though. Torque is a wonderful thing in these beasts. A number of other clip on tuners discussed in other threads are available.

The Td6 engines in the D5, RR, and RR Sport are exactly the same and have exactly the same HP and Torque ratings. Are you in a country other than the U.S. where they may have different specs?

I believe I am the cause of confusion. For the 2021s the Rangeys gets a P400, our trusty D5s a P360 (the 40more HP) / some I4 and no TD (the whipping). It does seem they're differentiating more. I always quite liked getting the important Rangey bits without an actual Rangey.
