4.2L Supercharged V8 vs 5.0L Supercharged

The Land Rover 5.0L Supercharged V8 is more powerful (510 hp vs. 400 hp), faster, and smoother, but it suffers from timing chain guide failures and higher maintenance costs. The 4.2L Supercharged V8 is more reliable, slightly more fuel-efficient, and has a rawer supercharged feel, but it lacks the low-end torque and refinement of the 5.0L. For reliability, go with the 4.2L; for performance, the 5.0L is the better choice.

The Land Rover 5.0L Supercharged V8 and the Jaguar-Ford 4.2L Supercharged V8 are both powerful engines used in high-performance Land Rover and Jaguar models, but they have distinct differences in power, reliability, and refinement. Here’s how they compare: Power & Performance Engine Displacement Horsepower Torque 0-60 mph (Range Rover) Supercharger Type 4.2L AJ-V8 SC 4.2L 400 hp @ 6,000 rpm 420 lb-ft @ 3,500 rpm ~6.5 sec Eaton M112 5.0L AJ133 SC 5.0L 510 hp @ 6,000 rpm 461 lb-ft @...
