The Land Rover 448PN 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine is a naturally aspirated power unit developed in the mid-2000s for luxury SUVs such as the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Discovery. Built with an aluminium block and 32-valve DOHC configuration, it delivers around 299–306 horsepower and up to 440 Nm of torque, providing strong, smooth performance suited to both on-road refinement and off-road capability. Land Rover engineered this engine with multi-point fuel injection and a chain-driven valvetrain, emphasizing durability and consistent power delivery. Despite its solid construction and long service life—often reaching high mileage with proper maintenance—it is known for relatively high fuel consumption and sensitivity to overheating due to its aluminium design. Overall, the 448PN V8 represents a key step in the evolution of modern Land Rover petrol engines, balancing performance, refinement, and traditional V8 character.
