    I doubt the motor will be more powerful than the current Puma diesel. The drivetrain will need serious upgrading to cope with the outputs of a TDV6 for example.

    The R380 gearbox is limited to 380 NM of torque.

    geez fella's, it was a joke. I know what killed off engines like Nissan's TD42T......
    But by the same token, they don't have emissions legislation on the sub continent like we do, and I can't see the Indian Armed Forces using the Puma engine, can you ?

    I was speaking to an Indian fellow that I work with and he said that TATA was initially an Iranian Company...


    Anyone else know anything about this?

    Ps, he also said that they were very innovative and would probably be a good thing for LAnd Rover

    AFAIK the tata family emigrated from iran many generations ago and still identify as Parsi and Zoroastrian. Goes to show how many different flavours of curry there are out there. Its nice that Landrover now has a parent company that can manage its own affairs. tata bought the truck or bus division of daewoo when it collapsed a few years back, and a brief look at the matchbox collection Tata Motors - Products that is the tata range (and considering the conditions of the main target market) i'm hopeful landrover can see a return to its roots and away from the production of highmargin poofter mobiles aimed at citywankers stuck in unrewarding lifestyles that are susceptible to the marketers' "escape" image that a 4wds have come to represent.
    i understand there are bottlenecks in the production of the pugwort/jag v6/v8 diesels stemming from the sourcing of the graphite materials used in the block. im sure tata can get its hands on a lot of other suitable donks. they have done a lot of work with isuzu, and we all know how well they go.
    Im not a mathematician, but if 70 million poms struggle to make 25,000 landies a year, perhaps 1,400 million curry munchers will be able to make 500,000 landies a year. thats a lot of carbon credits.
