Range Rover Sport 3.0 HSE

Increasing power without worsening consumption is the most complex challenge for every motorist. At Jaguar Land Rover they seem to have found the right “road”, because the new 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder petrol engine, which makes its debut on the Range Rover Sport, “drinks” up to 20% less, despite being more powerful of the V6 3.0 that replaces. If the latter had 340 hp, the new 3.0 is available in two versions, with 360 hp (and 495 Nm of torque) or with 400 hp (and 550 Nm). Performance is also gaining, because the Range Rover Sport with the new Ingenium engine starts from 0 to 100 km / h in 6.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 225 km / h, compared to an average distance declared by the house of 10.75 km / l. The 6-cylinder in-line is part of the Ingenium engine family and is built in the English factory in Wolverhampton along with the 2.0, which shares with the 3.0 solutions like the twin scroll turbo, where the pipe that carries the exhaust gas into the snail is split (to the benefit of the yield). The 3.0 is also equipped with the phase variator, which modifies the opening times of the intake and exhaust valves according to the engine rotation speed, to the advantage of the yield. The big news of the new Ingenium 3.0 is the supercharging system, which includes the twin scoll turbo and an electric compressor. The latter is driven by a small electric motor, powered by the second system of the car at 48 Volts, which goes alongside the traditional 12 Volt, and also serves the micro hybrid system. The electric compressor improves the brilliance of the engine, which responds faster to the accelerator and makes the Range Rover Sport more agile even at low speeds: according to the English house, the compressor takes 0.5 seconds to reach 120,000 rpm. The Ingenium 3.0 is also equipped with the filter that reduces particulate by 75% compared to V6 3.0, while the savings in terms of carbon dioxide is 12%
