Lion V6
The V6 utilizes a 60° V configuration. Output is 147 to 152 kW (200 to 207 hp ECE) and up to 440 Nm (325 lb·ft).
Land Rover version is called 'LR-TDV6 Diesel engine'. It has a single turbocharger, of a larger capacity than the twin-turbo design. This is to improve the engine's low-speed torque range for off-road and towing applications. It is also fitted with a very large, engine driven cooling fan to support low speed, but high load driving such as those that may be encountered in desert conditions. Other changes made to the Land Rover version of the engine over the Jaguar/Peugeot versions include a deeper high-capacity sump with improved baffles to maintain oil pressure at extreme off-road angles and multi-layered external seals to keep out dust, mud and water.
The engine is a member of the Ford Duratorq family of engines and is produced in Ford's Dagenham engine plant. 35,000 were produced from April through the end of 2004.
"Jaguar engineers were involved from the very beginning of the V6 diesel programme within the main project team of Ford Motor Company and PSA Peugeot - Citroen to help define the base engine specification and technologies necessary to deliver the high standards of power, refinement and drivability expected of a Jaguar," says the joint press release.
